Health and safety have always been important, but over the past couple of years, they have become even higher priorities to consumers worldwide. In fact, according to a PwC study on the many ways COVID-19 has changed consumer behavior, 48% of adult consumers intend on maintaining newly acquired health and wellness habits over the long term.

As a small and midsize business (SMB) owner, you surely have been considering how to cater to these changing demands.  In this blog post, we will discuss what antimicrobial covers are and how they can help you set your business up for safety and success – in mere seconds.

What are Antimicrobial Covers?

Antimicrobial film covers are just that – covers that protect surfaces and contain a proprietary antimicrobial coating that protects the surface by actively killing microbes (reducing microbe populations) on contact. Think of them as removable stickers.

The majority of the antimicrobial film covers on the market are durable, have an easy peel-and-stick application process, and can be applied to a variety of surfaces.

5 Benefits of Antimicrobial Covers

There are many advantages to using antimicrobial covers in your SMB, including:

1. Protect Employees, Customers, and Vendors

First and foremost, the primary benefit of antimicrobial film covers is that they protect everyone who comes in contact with your brick-and-mortar location, including your employees, customers, and vendors. By protecting high-traffic surfaces, the covers can greatly reduce germ transfer.

2. Instill Trust in Your Business

Antimicrobial covers can play a huge role in your corporate responsibility (CSR) plan as an SMB – and that’s a big deal. According to Givinga,

“CSR is usually thought of as something large enterprises do because it requires significant resources, including administration, funding, and time. But as consumers start voting with their wallets, choosing to support businesses with strong CSR programs, it’s becoming imperative for small and mid-sized businesses to get involved as well.”

First impressions are everything, and having antimicrobial film covers applied on your business’s door handles, checkout counters, and more, immediately lets your customers, vendors, and employees know that you are a responsible business and prioritize health and safety.

3. Versatile

Many of the antimicrobial covers on the market can be applied on a variety of surfaces, in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations. Be sure to check the temperature range specifications of the specific antimicrobial covers you’re interested in purchasing to ensure they’ll stand up to your environmental conditions.

4. Easy to Use

A huge benefit of antimicrobial covers is that they are extremely easy to use and apply. Most of the covers on the market simply come with a paper backing and can be easily peeled off the backing and applied to a variety of surfaces. And some, like the covers from Star, leave behind no residue when removed, and can easily be reapplied if you didn’t apply it just right the first time.

5. Cost-Effective

Antimicrobial film covers are a very cost-efficient health and safety solution for your SMB. Depending on the amount of traffic your business receives, the durable covers can last up to multiple months.
