Face coverings are an essential item to have on hand and look set to be part of our lives for the foreseeable future to help to stop the spread of coronavirus. If you are like us, it’s a real mind shift trying to remember to take your face covering with you when leaving the house or workplace. Along with your phone, keys and wallet/purse, a face covering is now a must! Let’s not forget, there are some pretty hefty fines in place now if you are caught without one. Our previous blog has more information on where face coverings are now required and why face coverings are needed.
How can I get my brand noticed with face coverings?
With almost everyone now needing a face covering in most aspects of every day life, there is a real opportunity for you and your company to get your branding and marketing message seen and heard. By investing in branded face coverings, not only will you raise brand awareness and provide a useful gift, you will be conveying a message to those who receive the face covering that you care about their health and wellbeing. Whether your team and clients are back in the workplace or not, face coverings and other protective and personal hygiene items will help to ease anxieties about spreading germs and will get your brand seen again and again.
Which type of face coverings should I choose?
There is a vast array of options when it comes to face coverings and face masks, it can all become rather confusing! As we are working daily with our clients helping them to choose suitable face coverings, we have put together a handy guide to help you with your decision:
Medical grade face masks (PPE)
Reserved for health and care workers. (Unfortunately there is a global shortage of these types of masks. And as pointed out by the government, ideally these should be reserved for key workers like the NHS.) These include FFP3 and FFP2 face masks
Disposable, single use face coverings
Low cost option for those who are in need of a quick, bulk buy solution. These type of face coverings can be used once and then disposed.
Face shields
A full face brandable protective solution which can be paired with a face covering. Available on a 4 week lead time. Widely used in hospitality and retail environments.
Reusable, washable and brandable face coverings
For personal use, face coverings are now mandatory now in the UK in a number of public spaces. Reusable face coverings can be machine washed and worn multiple times and so are more environmentally friendly than disposable face coverings. They can be plain, patterned or branded with your company logo, call to action and marketing message.
