BIC Graphic North America, Clearwater, Fla., is now offering more than 20 new products and stock backgrounds that support the fight against COVID-19 for workers in essential industries. This selection includes antimicrobial items, safety gear, pre-selected kits and a variety of COVID-19-related print materials, including mandatory posters that must be on display for businesses still in operation.
“The coronavirus outbreak brought about an abrupt shift in what items people need right now,” said Melissa Ralston, chief marketing officer for BIC Graphic. “We are proud of the efforts of our team members and the strength of our supply chain to quickly provide these useful items to help vital industries during this challenging time.”
One such new item is an unimprinted Disposable Face Mask, available beginning April 15, 2020. These breathable masks have three cloth layers with elastic ear loops and an adjustable nose bridge. The supplier is also printing posters displaying required information for essential businesses that remain open, and BIC Sticky Note Adhesive Notepads with stock backgrounds to be used as temporary signage encouraging the CDC-recommended practices.
Also available are antimicrobial mouse pads and writing instruments, like the BIC Clic Stic Antimicrobial and the BIC Round Stic Antimicrobial. These writing instruments are made with PrevaGuard, an EPA-registered antimicrobial additive that is molded directly into the pen’s plastic components. This help suppress the growth of bacteria, molds, mildew and fungi, especially in high-moisture environments.
In response to customer feedback, BIC Graphic has also developed kits to show appreciation for healthcare workers and kits with items that relate to the new work-from-home/learn-from-home environment. Each kit is under $20 (c) EQP with a 50-piece MOQ, and more information is available online or in BIC Graphic’s COVID-19 Resource Center. BIC Graphic is continually updating its COVID-19 resources as the current situation and industry needs evolve.
