It’s a weird time in our world, and the next days and weeks and months are filled with lots of uncertainty. One thing we’ve been inspired by is how our vendor-partners have stepped up to meet the increasing demand for essential items like hand sanitizer, face masks, and other PPE.
If your business is in need of these items, we are happy to help source them as best as we can. Here are a few most in-demand items that we may be able to help you with:
Hand Sanitizer
By far, this is still one of the most in-demand items, and the quickest to sell-out. Staying on top of available inventory is still tricky, BUT it’s becoming easier to get now that more suppliers are focusing production on hand sanitizer. Here are some of the options we can help you with:
Larger-Size Pump Bottles
Most commonly found in 8oz and 12oz sizes, these all-in-one bottles are perfect for shared spaces where you want easy access to hand sanitizer with a pump dispenser. Most options for these sizes are generic (that is, they are not & cannot be branded at this time).
Refill Bottles
Already have existing hand sanitizer dispensers? We can get larger-sized refills in 32oz and 64oz bottles. Again, these do not come branded — and they are meant to be used to fill existing dispensers.
Individual Bottles
Smaller hand sanitizer bottles in 1oz, 2oz, or 4oz bottles are becoming more readily available in limited supply, and with the option for custom branding.
Face Masks
The CDC is now recommending anyone wear some kind of cloth face covering when going out in public to help mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus. Our vendor-suppliers have stepped up in production of a variety of face masks. Here are a few options we’ve found available lately:
Disposable Face Masks
Pleated, 3-ply cloth, disposable face masks with elastic ear bands, standard size fits most adults. These are sold blank (no imprint), but can be shipped within a couple of weeks in most cases.
Cloth Face Masks
These washable face masks are available from many of our suppliers as blank, ready-to-ship goods — OR with the option of adding your custom imprint, starting with as few as 100 pieces in some cases.
N95/KN95 Masks
These are most in-demand for medical providers, and therefore, that’s where the priority goes. N95s are completely unavailable and KN95 (the Chinese version of the N95) may also be difficult to get a hold of, although we’ve heard from some suppliers who claim they can get them.
Other PPE
Face Shields
Clear plastic face shields can provide another layer of protection, and can be used along with other gear like face masks and goggles if so desired. These are sold blank, without an imprint.
Gloves
Disposable gloves are another high-demand safety item that some of our suppliers have started sourcing for us. They’re not surgical grade (again, those are going to hospitals and health care providers), but they do provide extra protection.
Signage
Need to remind customers in a retail setting to stay 6-feet apart? Want essential employees or customers to be aware of COVID-19 safety precautions and protocols? Floor decals, signage, and other displays are available as ready-made products, or can be customized to meet your specific needs.
