Sort Out Your Signage: Go Generic With Distancing Artwork

With the recent announcement from Boris Johnson that the government is reducing social distancing down from two metres to a recommended minimum of one metre, it might be time to update the social distancing signage you've already incorporated into your office or shop.

Our new generic designs are ideal for cutting out the need for any future changes as distancing decreases in the future. Bearing a simple yet striking message (namely: 'Please observe social distancing'), these promotional social distancing products are ideal for reminding your staff or customers to adhere to government advice, as well as to use a bit of common sense to ensure they're keeping themselves and others protected.

From social distancing floor stickers to branded banners bearing messages, we have a wide range of promotional display and signage items available, with many - such as our social distancing floor stickers, shown above - suitable for use outside your premises, too.

Make Sure You're Topped Up On Promotional Face Masks

Whilst social distancing might be dropping from two metres to one metre, there's a caveat: 'mitigating measures', such as face masks, must still be used in order to limit the potential spread of germs.

Providing branded face coverings for your staff? Whether they're for wearing them in-house or during their daily commute (as is currently compulsory on public transport), being able to offer your team members promotional face masks is a simple yet highly effective way to help them feel more protected and assured as they get back into the swing of things.

Whether you opt for simple disposable face masks or for full colour branded face masks that can be printed with your corporate artwork, we have options to suit every workplace and scenario. Our range includes face bandanas, reusable masks, face shield visors and more - and we even have logo printed ear straps to help make wearing them feel more comfortable, too.

Work Out How Best To Incorporate Branded Hand Sanitiser

Keeping hands clean is one of the most commonly referenced means to fight off potential COVID-19 germs. So why not make things easier for those who matter most to your business by ensuring that there's plenty of hand sanitiser available?

Whether you opt for our bottles of branded hand sanitiser gel or our impressive easy-use hand sanitiser stations, we have a range of products that are suitable for your workplace, acting as a reminder to those who matter most to keep their hands clean even when a sink isn't instantly accessible.

For customer-centric environments - such as shops, museums, pubs and so on - consider hand sanitiser dispensers that can be positioned by entrances and exits for easy use as your customers come and go.

For office spaces, keep it personal with individual bottles of branded hand sanitiser for your colleagues to use as and when required. Our promotional hand sanitiser can also make a great giveaway for your customers too; many of our bottles of hand sanitiser gel can be printed with your business' full colour artwork to the label. What better way to show your brand cares about their wellbeing in the current climate?

Consider Safety Details That Will Help Staff Feel Extra Protected

With many available to be printed with your logo or delivered plain stock, these social distancing items are ideal for helping to add an extra protective layer to your colleagues' working days - as well as in some cases, demonstrating to customers how seriously your business is still taking social distancing measures.
