Printing for the retail and healthcare in 2020
The retail sector has a harder task than most to handle all the disruptions and struggles brought about by the Covid 19 pandemic. Disrupted supply chains mean supermarkets can’t keep shelves restocked, which threatens jobs and stresses the economy as a whole. But compared to the challenge of keeping stores safe from the virus, even that doesn’t seem to be a priority.
Supermarkets have been implementing measures to protect their workforce and customers from COVID-19. These include social distancing markers and regulating the number of people in the store, the use of sanitising wipes for cleaning of trolley handles, screens between till staff and the public, and greater use of contactless payment cards.
Many restaurants and stores are going the extra mile by implementing a curbside pick-up system which allows you as the customer to order online and pick up the same day. Your parcel or takeaway will be brought out to you while you wait in your car. They are also making use of takeaway menus to prevent the spread of germs and making sure that their COVID-19 safety guidelines are well displayed, reminding guests to sanitise and keep a safe distance.
How printing companies are helping retailers cope with the Covid 19 pandemic
The healthcare industry is on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare providers’ needs for printing services has not diminished with the pandemic. On the contrary, some hospitals have been overwhelmed and others are preparing for an expected rush of patients. With more patients, an influx of printing will be required to collect information, correspond with insurance providers, and social distancing safety guidelines, just to name a few.
