Our Shadow Board Manufacturing Process
Every shadow board project starts with a site survey or consultation to understand your tool inventory, facility layout and specific compliance requirements. Our design team then creates a digital layout for client approval before production commences. We use precision CNC routing to cut accurate tool shadows and apply high-resolution printed graphics using UV-stable inks for maximum durability in harsh industrial environments.
Our shadow boards are available in a range of substrate materials — from lightweight ACM panels for office and light industrial use to heavy-duty powder-coated steel for workshop and outdoor environments. All hardware including hooks, brackets, holders and mounting systems are included in our supply, ensuring a complete and professional installation every time.
We have manufactured shadow boards for some of South Africa’s largest food and beverage producers, including Coca-Cola and Tiger Brands, as part of comprehensive 5S and visual management programmes. Our proven track record in high-compliance environments means you can trust Jesal Projects to deliver shadow boards that meet even the most demanding food safety and GMP standards.
