Product information "Multilevel Labels"
Multilevel labels for pallet racks and high-bay racks, self-adhesive or magnetic
The choice between self-adhesive and magnetic multilevel labels depends on your preferences and requirements. Self-adhesive labels stay securely in place without you having to worry about shifting or peeling off.
Uniqueness : Each storage location has a unique code.
Systematic structure : The code should reflect the warehouse hierarchy (e.g. hall/area → aisle → shelf → level → position).
Scalability : The system must support future capacity expansions without fundamental changes.
Machine readability : Supplement the labeling with barcodes or QR codes.
User-friendliness : Easy understanding and quick orientation for employees.
2. Structure of the shelf code
An optimal shelf coding system is based on a hierarchy and includes the following elements:
[Area or hall / aisle] - [Shelf] - [Level] - [Position or compartment]
[Area or hall / aisle] - [Shelf] - [Level] - [Position or compartment]
Example :
A03-R05-E02-P10
A03 : Area / Hall A, 3rd aisle
R05 : Shelf 5
E02 : 2nd shelf level
P10 : 10th position on the plane
3. Recommended coding strategy
a) Area and passage identification
Each area, hall, and corridor receives an alphanumeric designation:
Letters (A, B, C...) for storage areas.
Numbers (01, 02, 03...) for gears.
b) Shelf numbering
Each shelf within an aisle is numbered consecutively:
For example, R01 for the first shelf, R02 for the second.
c) Level numbering
The shelf levels are numbered from bottom to top:
E01 for the lowest level, E02 for the one above it.
d) Position within the plane
The positions on a level are numbered from left to right:
ZB P01 for the first position, P02 for the second.
Additional options :
Zone marking (e.g. for hazardous materials or temperature-sensitive goods).
Article group identifier for specific product categories.
4. Color and layout optimization
Colors for areas or product groups :
Blue: Raw materials
Green: Finished goods
Yellow: Returns
Red: Blocking camp Alternatively, each layer can be assigned a different color (e.g., from darker to lighter shade). Red-green color blindness must be taken into account when choosing colors!
e.g. from bottom to top:level/ Color/ Hex code/RAL code/DescriptionLevel 1:Dark grey /#4d4d4d/ RAL 7016 /Anthracite grey, stable and unobtrusiveLevel 2Brown/ #8b572a /RAL 8004 /Copper brown, warm and neutralLevel 3Green /#a5a552 /RAL 6003 /Olive green, friendly and calm / Instead of RAL 6003 olive green, RAL1020 olive yellow is also possible.Level 4Yellow/ #f6d55c/ RAL 1003 /Signal yellow, bright and motivatingLevel 5Light grey/ #d3d3d3 /RAL 7035 /Light grey, clear and neutralLevel 6White/ #ffffff /RAL 9010 /Pure white, maximum brightness and visibilityAvailability: RAL colors are an industry standard and easy to implement in labels or coatings.Contrast: The selected RAL colors offer good contrast between the levels.Adaptation to lighting and color effect in the warehouse: Colors with a high reflectance value for the upper levels improve visibility at high altitudes.Accessibility: The colors are easily distinguishable for people with red-green color blindness.
"Worldwide, approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women are affected. The most common types of color vision deficiency are the four forms collectively known as red-green color blindness or red-green color blindness. Blue color blindness, blue color blindness, monochromacy, and achromacy are significantly less common. In addition to gender-specific prevalence, there is also a regional disparity."
"The three rules for designing to be suitable for people with color vision deficiencies"
Symbols instead of color: Use symbols and signs primarily over colors to describe content or objects.
Brightness contrast instead of color contrast: Use color combinations that differ sufficiently in brightness.
Clear color descriptions: Use clear and comprehensible color descriptions (e.g. RAL colours)
High-contrast labels (e.g., black text on a white or yellow background).
Pictograms for additional information (e.g., "fragile," "flammable"), animal pictures/symbols, or arrows (up/down). "6.2 million people, or 12.1 percent of the working-age population, cannot read and write in Germany, or can only do so inadequately."
5. Integration of barcodes/QR codes
Supplement each code with machine-readable barcodes or QR codes.
This enables:
Automatic inventory updates during scanning.
Reduction of manual errors.
6. Size
The size of multilevel labels is generally based on the height of the pallet rack beams. Here are some possible standard sizes:
