Covid safety: How the printing industry can help

Is your business, product, or service Covid-safe? As we wrapped up the year 2019, very few business leaders never dreamed they would be asking such a question. The Covid-19 name itself was only coined months later. Yet, those that could not answer that important question in the affirmative suddenly found themselves battling to save their businesses.

For the businesses that survived, continued viability depended on keeping customers and workers safe from the Covid-19 virus. How have you managed that at your business?

Below, the Minuteman Press printing company shares how our clients in different sectors of the economy are using our printing services and products to promote social distancing and other Covid-19 safety precautions.

Minuteman Press’ Bounce Back SA’ initiative

Last year, the Minuteman Press printing company launched an initiative called “Bounce Back SA” to get South African businesses to band together and offer mutual support in their efforts to recover from this pandemic’s economic impacts.
The owner of a Nashville Minuteman Press franchise, John Taylor, came up with a way to promote solidarity support 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.
