How the printing industry can help you manage COVID

Thankfully the printing industry isn’t one of those that was swept aside by the Covid-19 wave. Just as well, because many other industries depended to some extent on printing companies to manage the pandemic’s risks.

Printing services helped spread the word about the health risks of the virus as well as how it spreads between people. That awareness has been key in saving lives. But how are printing companies helping businesses in specific industries deal with the pandemic?

Minuteman Press’s Bounce Back SA; initiative

Last year Minuteman Press launched an initiative called “Bounce Back SA” to get South African businesses to come together and offer mutual support in their efforts to recover from the Covid pandemic’s economic impacts.

John Taylor, the owner of a Nashville Minuteman Press franchise, came up with a way to promote solidarity among his neighbouring businesses. He decided to Print COVID-19 awareness Posters for free distribution. He then went one step further and created an online platform on which firms could create free listings.
