As a business operating in Victoria, it’s important to take as many precautions as possible to remind people of what that can be done to maintain a safe working environment for themselves, their team, customers and clients.
There are a range of steps you can take in your business including COVID-19 signage and social distancing posters, as well as using antimicrobial film. Using these will encourage appropriate hygiene, safe social distancing and help your visitors follow the current government guidelines when entering your business premises.
What to Consider when Printing Coronavirus Signage
When having COVID safe signs printed for your business, you can choose to use existing pre prepared sign templates provided by the Victorian government. Alternatively, you can choose to customise your own COVID signage that suits your individual business requirements.
Whilst pre-prepared signs may seem quick and easy, designing your own signs will ensure you’re able to communicate your business or location-specific messages, as well as ensure they fit in seamlessly with your building layout, business branding and culture.
When looking to print COVID signage for your business, there are some important elements to consider. Choosing the right printer to design and print your COVID signs and posters will ensure they are:
1. Simple to Read and Follow
Your printed COVID signs should be clearly laid out and easy enough for people to understand. This can include messages of temporary closures, changes to opening hours, and vital health and safety information.
2. Easy to Apply and Remove
If there’s one thing we’ve all got used to in Victoria, it’s that things change quickly! As messages and practices need to change, so to do your COVID signage and posters. To make this easy for you and your business, Inkifingus have a range of repositional print formats that can be used for your COVID signage. This will allow you to print once, easily reuse and relocate signage without damaging the poster or surfaces. As well as this, overlays can be printed and applied to existing signace ensuring your messages are always current, without having to print brand new posters every time something changes.
3. Easy to update
As well as being easy to apply, remove and re-apply – our repositional media can also include a whiteboard surface. This will allow you to communicate your business specific message, as well as leave spaces to update dynamic information such as date changes or seating / building capacity.
Where to Position your Coronavirus Signage
Positioning your COVID signs all depends on the message your business needs to address. You may need signs that are positioned on the floor (for example social distancing signs indicating where it is safe to stand), or positioned on desks, walls, windows, equipment to communicate building capacities or hygiene practices.
Areas of the workplace to consider when printing your covid signs include:
- The bathroom
- Reception areas
- Kitchens and communal dining areas
- Meeting rooms
- Manufacturing and warehouse spaces
- Offices (both private and co-shared)
- Retail stores
What is Anti Microbial Protection and Should I Use It?
In addition to custom COVID 19 signage, Inkifingus also offers antimicrobial film that can be used on signage if required, as well as other flat surfaces including counters, tables, windows, touch screens and doors.
Antimicrobial film offers a greater level of hygiene protection for high traffic areas. Even when surfaces are regularly cleaned (say within a 24 hour period), the population of germs and bacteria on the surface will continue to grow until the next cleaning cycle. This is exacerbated when combined with humidity.
Our antimicrobial film protects the surface against humidity, and uses silver ion technology to inhibit the growth of various bacteria, including Coronavirus. The film is non-irritant and completely waterproof. This means you can continue cleaning with your normal protocols using most chemical agents, alcohol-based products, diluted acids and oils.
