Colour Coding With Vellex®

Colour coding with Vellex® transforms storage into an intuitive, high-performance system that enhances both organisation and design. With a curated palette of 22 colours, Vellex® allows you to tailor your environment—whether it’s the precision of a laboratory, the energy of a STEM classroom, or the calm efficiency of a healthcare setting.

What Makes Colour Coding With Vellex® Different?

Colour can do more than brighten a space. With Vellex®, it can help create visual cues, define areas, support intuitive organisation, and give an environment its own identity. From subtle coordination to distinctive colour zones, Vellex® makes it possible to create spaces that are easier to navigate while reflecting the people and purpose within them.

Smarter Approach to Modular Storage

The Future of Flexible Storage Solutions
The Vellex® System is a fully modular storage and workspace solution designed to adapt to the evolving needs of healthcare, laboratory and education environments.
Built around interchangeable drawers, frames, trolleys and benching components, Vellex® allows teams to configure, organise and optimise their spaces with precision.
Each element has been engineered for durability, easy cleaning and seamless integration helping create more efficient, compliant and adaptable workflows.

Designed for Instant Recognition

More than just visual appeal, colour plays a critical role in improving workflow by enabling instant identification, creating clearly defined zones to reduce cross-contamination, and minimising errors across labs, clinics, and education spaces. It also supports standardised processes and lean 5S principles, helping teams work smarter and more consistently. With Vellex™, colour becomes a powerful operational tool—bringing clarity, control, and cohesion to every space.

Colour Is More Than Visual Appeal

With Vellex®, colour is more than aesthetic, it’s an intelligent tool that streamlines organisation, reduces errors, and adds a touch of design to every space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes laboratory storage different from standard storage systems?

Laboratory storage systems must support regulated environments, including safe handling of chemicals and specimens. This requires materials, configurations, and layouts designed for compliance, traceability, and controlled workflows rather than general-purpose storage.
Yes. Versatile Spaces® systems are designed to support high-compliance environments, including laboratories operating under PC2 and PC3 requirements. We can align system configurations with specific operational and regulatory needs.
Modular systems improve efficiency by organising storage into structured zones, reducing retrieval time, and supporting consistent workflows. This reduces handling errors and improves overall laboratory throughput.
Yes. Modular systems are designed to be reconfigured without replacing the entire installation. This allows laboratories to adapt layouts, expand capacity, or adjust workflows as requirements evolve.
These systems are suitable for a wide range of environments, including pathology labs, research facilities, pharmaceutical laboratories, and diagnostic testing environments.
Yes. Modular storage systems reduce reliance on fixed infrastructure. As laboratory needs change, systems can be adjusted rather than removed and rebuilt, reducing long-term costs and disruption.
