Plastic Shelf Dividers — Cheaper, Lighter, Color-Coded.
3D-printed in industrial PLA at our in-house warehouse, our plastic shelf dividers clip onto standard boltless and teardrop racking without any drilling or hardware modification. Half the cost of metal dividers, available in 29 colors, and printed to order — so you only get what you need.

FAQ
Are plastic shelf dividers strong enough for warehouse use?
+
Yes — these aren't injection-molded throwaway plastic. They're printed in industrial PLA filament at high infill, with knurled stainless thumb screws. The bracket holds a 4mm rigid panel and stands up to daily pick-line use.
Why plastic instead of metal or wire?
+
Three reasons. (1) Cost — half the price of equivalent metal/wire dividers at bulk. (2) Configurability — we print in 29 colors so you can color-code zones without painting. (3) Non-marring — won't scratch shelf decks or rust.
Will the PLA warp or melt in a warehouse?
+
No. Industrial PLA holds up to ambient warehouse temperatures (we've tested up to 130°F sustained). If your facility runs hotter than that — outdoor sheds, hot processing areas — let us know and we can quote PETG.
Can I see the color before I commit?
+
Yes — order the $25 Sample Kit. One clip divider, one top bracket, one cardboard insert in your color of choice, shipped priority. Confirm fit and color match before placing a bulk order.
