Custom Shadow Board
A shadow board makes tool accountability visual — every tool gets a cut silhouette on a high-contrast foam panel, so a missing item is obvious from across the room, not discovered at the next job.
We cut the silhouettes from your actual tool outlines, add finger scoops and etched labels, and back the top layer with a bright contrasting foam that becomes the “shadow” when a tool is lifted.
It’s the backbone of 5S and lean tool control: boards for the wall, overlays for benches, and drop-in versions for drawers, all matched to your color standard.

Aviation & FOD-critical work
Positive tool control that proves every item came back off the aircraft.
Shared shop spaces
When three shifts share one bench, the board settles who left what where.
