Warehouse Line Marking From QMS

Internal warehouse markings act as a guidance for every movement within your facility

Warehouse Line Marking Solutions

Internal warehouse markings act as a guidance for every movement within your facility. We guide you into deciding the best applications for your pedestrian walkways, pallet bays and hatched areas. Our systems are designed to enforce strict health and safety protocols that align directly with HSE (Health and Safety Executive) guidelines.

As part of our internal warehouse solutions, we prioritise what happens before the selected product touches the floor. This includes rigorous surface preparation, such as captive shot blasting, which we utilise where necessary to ensure the markings achieve a superior mechanical bond. By addressing the substrate first, your installation lasts longer and maintains its integrity under constant forklift or pedestrian walkway traffic.

At QMS we offer a diverse portfolio of internal line markings

  • Tape – A flexible, temporary solution for fast-paced environments undergoing frequent layout changes or trial periods.
  • Epoxy – This high-build system offers reliable chemical resistance and a professional finish in standard production and storage areas.
  • Polyurethane – Engineered for high-impact zones, providing heavy-traffic resistance and a smooth, durable finish that stands up to constant pallet dragging.
  • UV Cured – Our flagship premium-grade system. It contains zero VOCs and remains fully operational in cold stores reaching -32 degrees. We utilise instant-cure UV technology that is food-safe and solvent-free, ensuring your facility’s throughput doesn’t come at the cost of staff health or environmental compliance.

If you’re considering warehouse line marking, whether it’s a completely new installation, a refresh of faded markings, or you’re simply trying to understand your options, we’d be happy to talk.

There is no pressure and no obligation. We can arrange a site visit at a time that suits your shift patterns, conduct a thorough assessment of your floor condition and provide clear advise on the most resilient solutions for your specific environment.

Under the HSE’s Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations, employers must ensure that pedestrians and vehicles can move safely. Clear, visible internal markings are the industry-standard method for segregating traffic and protecting your staff. Failing to provide adequate demarcation can lead to significant liability issues during HSE inspections.

Choosing the right colours for warehouse line marking is crucial for ensuring safety, efficiency, and clear communication within your facility. Start by considering the purpose of the areas being marked; for example, using bright yellow for pedestrian walkways can enhance visibility, while red can signify danger or restricted zones.

It’s also important to adhere to industry standards and regulations, which often dictate specific colour codes to promote safety and consistency.[VS1]

For facilities operating at sub-zero temperatures, or where food hygiene is paramount, we recommend our UV Cured system. Unlike traditional resins that struggle to set in the cold, UV systems cure instantly under a specific light frequency. They are solvent-free, contain zero VOCs, and are food-safe, meaning you don’t have to shut down your refrigeration or risk tainting products.

Minimising disruption is a core part of the QMS approach. While Epoxy and Polyurethane require a curing window, our UV Cured markings offer an “instant-return-to-service.” As soon as the UV light passes over the line, it is fully hardened and ready for heavy forklift traffic, meaning your operations can continue without expensive delays.

Planning internal warehouse line marking involves several key steps to ensure an efficient and effective layout.

  1. Assess the current warehouse layout and identify the specific areas that require marking, such as walkways, loading zones, and storage areas.
  2. Once the design is established, a detailed plan is created that includes the types of markings needed, such as solid lines for boundaries and dashed lines for pathways.
  3. Scheduling the marking process is crucial, ideally during off-peak hours to minimise disruption.
