Today's shelving involves modern conceptual designs that are flexible, save space and make your pharmacy's interior inviting and organized:

Advantages of today's pharmacy shelving

  • Modular construction

Modern modular shelving is strong, durable, and built so that you can reconfigure as needed. Modular construction lets you change setups easily, both to make better use of space and to "refresh" your customer area's layout whenever you wish.

  • Precision design

Modern shelving is designed with precision in mind, so that components can be put together instantly to create an attractive and "permanent" work environment almost instantly. Create different looks and combinations of materials (such as wood, wood laminate, plastic, or metal) by choosing shelving that will fit together well but be easy to break down and reassemble for different configurations easily.

  • Built to be space-saving

Today's shelving holds more product and yet requires less space than traditional systems. Shelving can adjust quickly and easily to hold different sized product packaging, for efficient use of space.

  • Can be used with standard prescription trays

Specific pharmacy shelving can be used with prescription trays, and adjusted easily so that the drugs don't need to be removed from their trays when they're being repositioned.

Make your customer area inviting with these features

Today's modern shelving isn't just for your pharmacy work area. The layout and look of your customer area is also important. Because of that, contemporary pharmacy shelving has these characteristics:

  • A variety of colors

Your pharmacy's decor can be sterile and uninviting, or warm and welcoming to your customers. This modern shelving comes in a variety of colors; match your interior design for a fresh and professional look that is not at all "institutional."

  • Customization

Although pharmacy shelving can be bought "as is" in a variety of combinations to create your own unique look, you can also have shelving customized specifically for you to fit with your store's layout and design. Not only can this make the front of your store more checked, but it can also increase convenience for both you and your customers.

  • Slotted back panels

Slotted back panels make shelving instantly adjustable, with decorative tubing to create a finished and professional look.

  • Contoured shelf edges

Today's pharmacy shelving comes with contoured shelf edges, for adjustability; shelving can be placed flat or tilted for better product visibility.
