Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) has introduced a new product line of indoor marking tape, designed for businesses entering the reopening phase while abiding by social distancing guidelines.
The indoor marking tape is designed to adhere to hard indoor surfaces and maintain clean removability, while the outdoor marking tape is durable enough to withstand foot traffic and resist other elements.
“We’ve been closely watching the nation enter the reopening phases of businesses, public areas and restaurants and saw an explicit need for social distancing marking tapes,” explained Nick Park, vice-president of consumer sales, at IPG. “Social distancing is proving to become a lasting effect from the global pandemic and will continue to be practiced even while restrictions are being lifted. We are prepared to expand and adjust our product mix as social distancing needs continue to arise.”
The social distancing product line offers retail packaged products ready for prominent shelf placement. The full assortment consists of blue and orange indoor tape, as well as red and yellow outdoor tape. These products are intended to mark 6ft distance points for directing foot traffic and facilitating safe line formation. They feature secure adhesion and clean removal from most surfaces.
“IPG is excited to bring the retail version of these products to life. Businesses can proudly place this product in their store in order to assist in the compliance with social distancing guidelines for minimising the spread of Covid-19 and other illnesses,” commented Emily Fagan, marketing coordinator at IPG.
