Systembox: modular kanban card holder for kanban, traffic-light and heijunka boards
One box for every kanban card: it keeps it in view, protected and always in its place, on the wall or on the whiteboard. The patented interlocking system connects Systemboxes in a stepped column or side by side in a block, so the kanban board grows one position at a time. With 8 colours you build the kanban traffic light, the zones of a heijunka board or a lot size kanban.

Why choose it
Grows with your process
The interlocks join the boxes in a stepped or block arrangement: add one position at a time, in a row or column, without redoing the board.
Kanban traffic light at a glance
Green, yellow and red immediately tell you what to produce or reorder. Alternatively, use single-colour boxes and coloured cards in the clear covers.
Adapts to the card
The adjustable back reduces the usable depth in 5 mm steps: even small cards stay in view and can be picked up with your fingers.
A complete system
Stainless steel supports, clear covers, cards and mailbox complete the board; the Systembox A4 adds the documents.
Choose it if…
- You manage kanban cards on a board, one card per position, sorted by part number.
- You want a kanban traffic light with green, yellow and red zones, or a heijunka board or lot size kanban.
- You plan to extend the board over time, even by a single position.
- You want to keep kanban cards and A4 documents on the same board.
Choose another solution if…
- You want to start with a complete kanban board, from 200 to 400 cards, already sized: Kanban Starter Set with Systembox →
- You manage cards, orders or sheets in different formats, from DIN A8 to A4, on a pocket board: Cardplan® – insert board →
- You work in an EPA area with components sensitive to electrostatic discharge: Systembox and ESD accessories →

How the traffic-light kanban board works
The card returns to the board when the container is emptied and the board becomes the signal for production or reordering:
- Green zone: few cards on the board, the stock in the department is sufficient
- Yellow zone: the supervisor decides whether to start production or reordering
- Red zone: produce or replenish immediately
- Heijunka board: the columns become time slots and level the order sequence
- Lot size kanban: each position corresponds to a defined lot, called off when the card arrives on the board
Zones are marked with coloured Systemboxes or coloured cards in the clear covers: you change the traffic-light levels without dismantling the column.
How a column of Systembox is assembled
Stainless steel supports
The upper one is fixed to the wall or whiteboard and holds 1 or 4 columns; the lower one fixes the second-to-last box.
View product →Clear covers
The upper one on every box except the last, the front one on the last: they show the code and keep the card in place.
View product →Printable cards
Pre-cut A4 sheets, 33 × 75 mm for the upper cover and 75 × 168 mm for the front one, in 4 colours.
View product →Adjustable back
For cards from DIN A7 to 1/3 DIN: adjusts in 5 mm steps in the rear groove.
View product →Supports, clear covers, cards and adjustable back are ordered separately, in the quantities you need.
Where to mount the board
On Cardplan® whiteboard
250 or 500 mm panels to screw the supports onto, to place alongside the insert boards.
View product →On a mobile stand
The board stand on castors takes the kanban board where it is needed, in the department or at the shift meeting.
View product →With the mailbox
Collects returned cards before they are put back on the board or in the containers.
View product →On the wall, the stainless steel supports with their fixing material are enough.
The LeanProducts service
We help you go from the idea to the kanban board in your department:
Part number analysis
We start from how many part numbers you manage, how many cards per part number and what format they are: we size the rows, columns and traffic-light zones.
Board layout
We propose the layout of the Systemboxes, on the wall, on a whiteboard or on a mobile stand, with room to extend it.
Complete list
Systembox, supports, clear covers, cards, mailbox: you receive the list of part numbers and quantities, with nothing forgotten.
Extensions and spare parts
All components can also be ordered individually: the board grows with your process.
Send us a photo of the area and the list of kanban codes: we will reply with a concrete proposal.

First fix the top supports to the wall or the whiteboard: SYSB-WH-1 for one column, SYSB-WH-4 for four. They are pre-drilled and include fixing material. Then hook on the Systembox staggered, one below the other; the SYSB-WH-U bottom bracket secures the second-to-last box. The supports are angled: each box rests against the wall and the column does not stick out further when you extend it.
The cards from emptied containers are placed in the board, sorted by part number. When they reach the yellow zone you decide whether to produce or reorder; in the red zone this must be done immediately. The zones are marked with coloured Systembox or with single-colour Systembox and coloured inserts in the plastic pieces: this way you change the levels by replacing the inserts, without dismantling the boxes, and you keep only one colour in stock.
Yes, with the SYSB-FH adapter, an adjustable base that fits into the rear groove and reduces the usable depth in 5 mm steps. The card stays in view and is easy to take out, in formats from DIN A7 (74 × 105 mm) to 1/3 DIN (100 × 210 mm).
Yes: the flat and deep Systembox A4 join standard Systembox via the side and rear interlocks. You manage kanban cards and A4 documents on the same board.
Yes. In a column the kanban code is shown with the top and front pieces; in the compact tabletop layout the flag piece is used instead.
One for each kanban card that must be able to sit on the board. For each part number, count the cards in circulation: the part number’s column has as many Systembox units as there are cards, divided into green, yellow and red zones. Send us the list of part numbers with the number of cards and we will calculate boxes, brackets and sleeves for you.
With coloured Systembox units the traffic-light system is visible even from a distance, but to move a threshold you have to reorder the boxes. With light grey Systembox units and red, yellow and green cards in the sleeves, you change the levels by replacing only the cards, and you keep just one box colour in stock.
Yes: arrange the A4 Systembox units in columns, one per time slot or per day, and put the order to be worked on in each box. The front and top sleeves indicate the slot or the line; add the kanban cards next to them with the standard Systembox units.
Yes. The columns become the time intervals, for example 30-minute slots, and the rows are the products or lines: in each Systembox you place the card of the order to be produced in that slot. This way the sequence is levelled and visible to everyone. If you use cards or orders in different sizes, also consider the Cardplan® insert board.
It depends on the consumption and reorder time of each part number: the green zone covers normal stock, the yellow the time to plan, the red the safety stock. We help you size them from your data and you adjust them by moving the corner pieces.
The inner space is 118 × 190 × 6 mm: the most common kanban cards fit, up to about A6 portrait. For smaller cards, from DIN A7 (74 × 105 mm) to 1/3 DIN (100 × 210 mm), add the adjustable back, which brings the card to the top and keeps it legible.
Yes: you fix the Systembox brackets to the Cardplan® whiteboards and mount the boards on the board stand on castors. It is the Kanban Starter Set solution in a mobile version.
