Create printable Kanban cards for manufacturing, warehouse, office, and healthcare replenishment.
Use one bin while the second covers replenishment. Pull the card when the first bin is empty.
Place this card in the collection box. Return it with the full bin.
Fasteners, stationery, or clinical supplies used regularly.
See how a Kanban loop worksA Kanban card is a visual instruction to make, move, or replenish a specific quantity of an item. Choose a template based on the action your team needs to take when the card is pulled.
Two-bin replenishment. Use two bins for regularly consumed supplies such as fasteners, stationery, or gloves. When the first bin is empty, send its card for replenishment and use the second bin while you wait. Size the reserve to cover consumption during replenishment.
Production Kanban. Use a production card to tell an upstream process what to make and how many to make. For example, after assembly consumes a container of parts, the returned card authorizes the supplying process to replace that quantity.
Withdrawal / move Kanban. Use a withdrawal card to authorize moving an existing quantity from a stock location to the point of use. Include the pickup location and destination so the person moving the material can follow the instruction without guessing.
Supplier Kanban. Use a supplier card to request replenishment from an external supplier. Add the supplier's item number, order quantity, and delivery location. A QR code can link to the product page your team uses to purchase the item.
Signal / batch Kanban. Use a signal card when a process replenishes in batches. Place the card at an agreed stock level; reaching that level triggers the specified batch. Write both the trigger and batch quantity on the card so the timing and amount are clear.
Production and withdrawal describe the two core card functions. Two-bin describes how stock is arranged; supplier and batch cards adapt the signal to a particular replenishment process. See how a Kanban system works for the full replenishment loop.
The copy count in this configurator repeats your design. The number of cards in your system depends on demand, replenishment lead time, container quantity, and a safety allowance. Use the Kanban calculator to estimate the number of signals, then print that many cards and check the result against actual use.
Include the item name and number, the quantity to make or replenish, the source, the destination, and the condition that triggers action. Add a photo, bin location, or QR code when it helps someone identify or reorder the correct item.
Choose a card size, Letter or A4 paper, and the number of copies in Print setup. Select Print cards and enter your email to unlock printing and downloads. Open the print sheet, then print at 100% or Actual size in portrait with browser headers and footers off. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog for a PDF copy, or download the HTML print sheet to use later.
Paste a product or purchase link to let someone scan the card and open that page to reorder. Leave the link blank to encode the item number exactly as entered. The QR code identifies the item or opens the link; your team completes any purchase on the supplier's site.
Yes. The warehouse example replenishes shipping cartons at a packing station, the office example starts with paper supplies, and the healthcare example starts with gloves. Edit the fields to match your own items, storage locations, and replenishment process.
