Signage company designs protective screens to help fight COVID––19 spread

Signage company Archers has kept its factories running throughout the pandemic in order to safely manufacture protection/sneeze screens…

Protection/sneeze screens, manufactured by Archers  to help prevent the spread of COVID–19, have made from a premium clear Perspex with polished edges, rounded corners and cut-outs for payment termina.

The protective screens come in standard sizes and are made to any bespoke size and style, and have been designed and manufactured in-house using a premium finished clear acrylic, high-polished edges, rounded corners and various cut-outs for PDQ machines. The protection/sneeze screens allow the customer to see the retail staff and vice versa whilst also allowing the customer to pay electronically using the PDQ machines.

By installing these types of screens you are preventing the transmission of air particles between customer and staff. “These screens will go a long way to reassuring staff and protecting them during these uncertain operational times,” commented Paul Newman, sales director at Archers. “Our social distancing floor stickers are also a highly effective tactic to grab attention and provide direction / instructing to people on any site as they can be used on just about any surface, these are made from a high grade self adhesive vinyl with removable adhesive so this doesn’t damage flooring when these are not required or need updating, they also have an applied anti slip laminate to protect the print. These stickers can be made to order or choose from one of our standard sizes.”

Social distancing is high on the agenda of those operating in the hospitality industry at the moment as the government prepares to announce its plans for coming out of lockdown. While many businesses are currently closed at the moment, taking this time to adjust public areas accordingly to ensure a safe environment is a responsible way to help prevent the spread of COVID–19.
