COVID-19
– Protect your Products and the People that touch them
Protect your packaging with anti-microbial over-laminates and varnishes. Touching products on the shelf, in a store, carries a risk of cross-contamination, perhaps a risk the consumer should no longer have to take? You can now adapt your packaging and sampling options with our products to help minimise the risk and replace your products protection with cost effective, and ‘Coronavirus hating’ sachets.
Our anti-Covid solutions are vitally important to ensure safe-contact packaging will become a ‘must have’ for products either from a website or in-store. According to data compiled the sterile and antiviral packaging market is set to grow by 5% over the next 10 years. We have worked with our suppliers on the continent over the past few months who are well ahead of the curve, meaning we can now offer customers two anti-bacterial options for your sachet, wipe and bottling requirements; starting with an antimicrobial laminate and secondly an anti-bacterial gloss or matt varnish which we apply to your packaging. Both of our solutions work to destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. This sort of strategy will be imperative across all health and beauty categories post Covid-19.
