Pharmacy Shelving Systems: A Pharmacist's Guide

By Stuffey | January 18, 2024

Pharmacists make a difference in their patients’s lives every day. Yet this is a physically and mentally demanding job. You’re interacting with patients, other medical professionals, and insurance companies all day, all the while dispensing and organizing hundreds of drugs.

The best pharmacy shelving systems improve access and streamline organization while saving space, providing security for sensitive materials like narcotics, and simplifying inventory. These systems aren’t just about storing medications, they’re about optimizing your pharmacy’s workflow, enabling efficient order filing, providing accurate inventory tracking, and creating more time for patient care.

Bin Shelving: Adaptable, Efficient, and Simple

The FrameWRX Bin Shelving system provides high-density compact storage for the many small items and large packages in your pharmacy. Perfect for pharmacists who need to store and pick out individual doses, this fully flexible bin storage gives you the exact storage you need.

Bin Shelving for Pharmacy Storage

The highly customizable bin storage can adapt easily to your changing needs. Plus, it’s simple to relocate, which means more flexibility to accommodate your variety of containers and packaging while still providing effective medical storage and productive space.

Keep pharmaceutical items organized, accessible, and visible with FrameWRX features:

  • Compatibility with a variety of bin sizes to provide high bind density
  • Adjustable single-piece shelves easily mounted horizontally or at a gravity-feed slope
  • Peg-board hooks, hanging bins, slat-wall systems, EZ rail elements, and a range of other accessories - to accommodate a pharmacy's worth of items

You can easily reconfigure this pharmaceutical shelving system to adapt to changing needs. And you won’t need tools or fasteners to store more, where you want, as efficiently as possible.

Make Modular the Standard in Your Pharmacy

Modular pharmacy storage comes in many shapes and sizes to allow for multiple design options. Creating the system that best suits your needs is a great way to avoid wasted space and resources. Many pharmacists look to modular casework as an alternative to site-built storage.

Drawing millwork for your pharmacy requires tedious work. Plus, the permanency of the construction makes it more difficult to adapt to changing needs. Since casework is factory manufactured, you can custom design it with precision cuts and guaranteed measurements. Yet, you know it’s also reconfigurable as it’s not bolted to walls or floors (unless there are seismic concerns).

Choose from adjustable shelves, cabinets, and base storage with countertops, or include unit dose fill or compounding stations and office desks. Meanwhile, vinyl wrapping and removable insert options help to improve sanitation and materials safety by eliminating crevices where bacteria can grow.

You might couple flat and gravity-fed drawers in base cabinets with slanted wall shelves to seamlessly store hundreds of supplies and medications. The variety of positions for workstations provides a more ergonomic work environment for your technicians and staff.

Plus, the ease of overall installation supports efficient pharmacy setup. Meanwhile, you gain sustainability advantages. Instead of having to rip and replace when your needs change, simply detach and reattach your adjustable shelves, cabinets, and base storage with countertops in a new way.

Custom modular casework helped a community pharmacy in North Carolina take full advantage of their 1,3000 square feet of space. Instead of relying on steel shelving, the pharmacy was able to design an efficient and professional space with a homey wooden aesthetic.

Configure Your Space to Your Pharmacy's Needs

The best pharmacy shelving systems can improve efficiency, adaptability, and space optimization for your pharmacy. By optimizing your space, you can free up your pharmacists for more direct patient interaction and education, enhancing both staff and customer satisfaction.
