What are the benefits of antimicrobial products for live events?

10/03/2021 10:25:34


 

Firstly, we look at what antimicrobial means. Antimicrobial products kill or slow the spread of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi such as mould and mildew. 

What is the difference between antimicrobial and antibacterial?

Both have been excellent when it comes to Covid-19, but in the simplest terms, antibacterials only destroy or inhibit the growth of bacteria, whereas antimicrobials do this for viruses, which is will protect against Covid-19 as much as possible.

Is there a need for antimicrobial promotional merchandise?

As we continue through the ‘new normal’ it is imperative that you keep your brand name alive and in the face of all your customers, both old and new.  

How will antimicrobial merchandise benefit your 2021 future live events?

With the antimicrobial additive on promotional products such as pens, trolley coins, ID card holders, hygiene hooks, face covers and cups, the spread of bacteria and germs can be reduced by up to 98%, meaning you can still use branded promotional merchandise safely. 

Take a look at how you can stay safe at your events...

The antimicrobial promotional merchandise range is constantly evolving with new products being introduced weekly. Below you will find a selection of the antimicrobial products which you can use at your live events. 

Face Coverings

Showcase your brand's commitment to protection and wellness with your full-colour logo imprinted on this 100% cotton premium antimicrobial mask. The outer layer is woven cotton treated with SilverClear technology, a non-toxic EPA registered antimicrobial that neutralises growth of bacteria, mould, mildew and fungus. The breathable cotton, ergonomic 3D design, adjustable nose piece and elastic ear-straps, make this mask comfortable & stylish.

 

 Cups & Tumblers

The Americano® Pure Antimicrobial Insulated Tumbler contains Biomaster antimicrobial technology, providing protection against the growth of harmful micro-organisms on the surface of your mug. Not only is this effective for the lifetime of the product, it does not affect its recyclability. These are made in the UK and packed in a compostable bag - making it eco-friendly as well.

Pens

Pens are one of the most common items when it comes to promotional merchandise for events, and this antimicrobial model is specially formulated with a biofree® additive that provides continuous antibacterial and antifungal protection, and cleans the pen of microbes as you use it.

 

Trolley Coins

Trolley Coins are a popular, low-cost giveaway. Our eco trolley coins, made in the UK with 100% recycled plastic in a solar panelled factory can be printed full colour as standard, and now have the option for an antimicrobial additive. This additive (mainly ionic silver) is well known for its natural sterilising properties. With this additive, the spread of bacteria and germs on the surface of the recycled plastic material is reduced by 98%! 
 

Hygiene Hooks

A similar device was seen on Dragons’ Den, called the Loodini back in 2015. But, Covid-19 saw many similar devices created now branded ‘hygiene hooks’ and these are becoming increasingly popular as a giveaway as they can be a multi-purpose product. This product particular was created in April 2020 by designer Steve Brooks, the hygiene hook lets you open doors and locks easily, as well as preventing the need to touch high traffic areas when you are out of the house. 
 
 

Top Tech

Even your top tech can have antimicrobial properties. Two options which are trending right now are the 6-in-1 antimicrobial cable and the 3W antimicrobial wireless speaker. These are a definite must for any event to ensure your brand name has longevity on people’s desks. 


  

Antimicrobial Kits (posted)

You can even send a whole antimicrobial kit in the post to your delegates, exhibitors or your staff in advance of any events utilising our collation and fulfilment services.
 
Each kit includes a ‘Mask Mate’ face cover case, a hygiene hook and a trolley coin and we can include a personalised message for your staff or event attendees with your logo on the front and back.
