KAN-Label: kanban card sleeve for KLT containers, Eurobox and kanban boards
The classic kanban sleeve for containers that already have a label holder slot. It is closed on three sides, with side insertion to VDA 4902: the card stays clean, it can be read with a scanner and the sleeve moves from the container to the kanban board. Nine colours to tell departments, lines or suppliers apart.
Why choose it
Clean card
Closed on three sides: the card slides in from the side and is protected from dirt and wear.
Made to fit KLT and Eurobox
Sizes and insertion to VDA 4902, for the label holder slots of standard containers.
Colour coding
Nine colours to tell department, line, supplier or reorder type apart at a glance.
Scanner-readable
Barcodes and QR codes can be read through the sleeve, without removing the card.

- You use KLT containers or Euroboxes with a label holder slot.
- You want the same sleeve on the container and on the kanban board.
- You want a colour code for departments, lines or suppliers.
- You prefer to insert the card from the side.

How the kanban card circulates
The card holder is the first step in a simple loop:
Prepare the card
Part number, description, quantity per container, storage location and barcode: you print it on card stock and insert it in the card holder.
View product →Travels with the material
The card stays on the container as long as the material is needed on the line, protected from dirt and damage.
Comes back when the container is empty
The operator removes the card and drops it into the kanban mailbox: it is the reorder signal.
View product →Moves to the board
Whoever manages reordering takes the cards to the kanban or heijunka board and replenishment starts in the right order.
View product →With the scanner you read the barcode or QR code through the sleeve, without removing the card.

The inner space is 200 mm wide in all formats: 210 × 80 (inner 200 × 67 mm, outer 209 × 74 mm) with the ET670 insert; 1/3 DIN (200 × 85 / 209 × 99 mm) with ET85; A5 (200 × 135 / 209 × 147 mm) with ET135.
It slides into the label slot of KLT containers and Euroboxes, sized to VDA 4902, and slots into kanban boards in the same way. If the surface is metal, even curved, use the magnetic KAN-Label; if the container has no slot, the Kanban-Cover.
Yes: thanks to the side opening the sleeve can be cut to size and its length reduced without losing its function.
All of them protect the card and can be read with a scanner. The KAN-Label has side insertion and fits the label holder slots of KLTs and Euroboxes and kanban boards. The KLT-Snapper is made of rigid PVC with top insertion, for quickly changing the identification on KLTs. The KAN-Label Magnetico has neodymium magnets for machines, metal containers, drums and reels. The KAN-Special has a euro hole and a slot in the head for hanging on hooks and brackets.
Assign a colour to each department, line, supplier or reorder type, for example red for urgent material or yellow for an external supplier. Whoever picks or replenishes recognises the flow at a glance, even from a distance and on the board. The transparent version lets you see the whole card.
Yes: the KAN-Label slides into insertion kanban boards just as it does into the container slot. This way the card goes from the container to the board without being taken out of the pocket.
Yes: the KAN-Label ESD, in the same formats and with the same card inserts, in 0.25 mm permanently dissipative IDP film that meets the requirements of DIN EN 61340-5-1.
No: the set contains the board with the Systembox units. The cards travel with the containers in kanban card holders such as Kanban-Cover, KAN-Label or KLT-Snapper, chosen according to the type of container. We recommend them together with the set.
For label holders, Kanban-Covers and Kanban sleeves there are pre-cut cards on A4 sheets with micro-perforation: they print on any printer and separate without scissors. On the Cardboard product page you will find Word and Excel templates for the formats. Magnetic Windows® and repositionable adhesive windows are written on with non-permanent markers; on writable magnetic labels, writing done with a water-based marker is wiped off with a damp cloth. Anti-Stick label holders serve as a base for printed adhesive labels, which then come off without residue.
Quantities are ordered in packs: the number of pieces is shown in the “Pack” attribute of each product. Document pockets come in packs of 10; previously packs of 50 were shown, so for the same quantity order 5 packs. Label holders usually come in 50 or 100 pieces, KAN-Label and KLT-Snapper Kanban sleeves in 50; for Mega label holders and insert cards the number depends on the format.
