JTAPE installs Mark Andy Digital One to Personalize Face Shields

August 25, 2020 Off By Sebastian Reisig

One of the UK’s leading manufacturers of masking products for commercial applications has invested in a Mark Andy Digital One press to print personalized face shields and extend their PPE product range. The face shields were designed after many hours of field testing and user feedback.

A 60 x 300mm image is printed directly onto the clear section of the visor, with user instruction QR code, the CE certification mark that confirms the product meets the regulatory requirements for PPE use in the EU, and Face Shield FDA Product Listing for approved use in the USA. Customers can choose from one of JTAPE’s bespoke designs or provide their own design or logo to promote their brand.

Established in 2003 by owner Oliver Jevons, JTAPE now employs over 40 people, manufacturing and producing 50 individually designed products to worldwide markets as diverse as automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, industrial, rail, trade and creative sectors. JTAPE is recognized for its innovation and is an award winner at home, in Asia and the USA.

With the dramatic effect that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on many of its traditional markets, JTAPE turned its hand and expertise to a range of new PPE and safety products for medical, business and personal use. But, with limited previous printing experience the company was looking for a solution for its short run work that forms a significant part of its business portfolio.
