In order to survive in the current economy, the businesses need to adapt to the real word situations and they need to do that quickly. Because there is no place for companies that still rely on the conventional methods for running their businesses. Although the Covid-19 is a pandemic that has brought the whole world to a standstill, but there is a silver lining for every dark cloud. This has brought an opportunity for the various companies that are producing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) and Mask Boxes.
Due to the Coronavirus being highly contagious, use of masks and other PPE’s have proved to be the only way to stay safe during these hard times. The death toll in the whole world has been very high throughout. It has effected every country in the world alike. It has not only brought the whole world to a standstill, but also effected the economy badly as well. The main reason for that is there is no vaccine till date for this disease and the only option is to maintain social distancing. Therefore, in such situations, no one can run their business because everyone is scared. Only the businesses that are highly crucial like FMCGs and those who produce PPE’s are allowed to work. So if you also produce mask and their packaging, here are some ways that you can stay safe and provide help to the people around you.
The first thing that you need to do is to provide training and guidance to all your workers and labor force. Introduce SOPs according to the government and WHO recommendations. Arrange a number of hand washing stations so that people can wash hands regularly. You should also place sanitizers on all the entrance and exit points so that the people use them whenever they enter the premises. Use of face masks and other PPE’s should be mandatory. Assign duties for checking the temperature of all the workers and staff members that are entering your premises to ensure there is no affected persons there.
Another thing that should be considered is that everyone is scared of the current situation. And those who aren’t are not only a threat for themselves, but also for those who are around you. So in order to get people to stay indoors and not gather in markets, you should introduce door to door delivery service for the face masks in safe packaging. This would decrease the number of people outside who are there to buy PPE’s. You should take care of protecting the packages during the delivery and packing stages in order to protect them against the virus.
There are a number of packaging options that allow you to print and color the packages. Therefore, you need to put all the warning messages and information regarding the use and protection against getting infected. This would not only show the customers that you care, but would also provide them with the necessary information that they need in order to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
With the use of masks and other PPE’s and their packaging, the environmental hazards has also increased. People do not care that the masks are not biodegradable and discard them after using them in open places, which increases the pollution. Therefore, you should print all the information about the products being non-biodegradable so that the people know about the environmental effects that they are going to have.
Not only that, you should also use various materials that are biodegradable for the packaging of these PPE’s as well. Because not only the items, but their enclosure is also responsible for increasing the environmental hazards as well. So this is your responsibility towards the society and the environment that you use materials that are easily recyclable and are eco-friendly.
So there are a number of ways in which you can protect yourself and those who are working for you against this Virus. There are also a number of ways that you can use the packaging for the promotion of your brand as well. Here are some of the ways in which you can use this time for your benefit.
With the help of various options for printing and coloring of the boxes, you can use this opportunity for the advantage of your brand as well. By lowering the prices of your products and using attractive branding, you can show the people that you are not only in the business to make profits but you also care about the people as well. This will make them trust your brand and prefer your products for others.
As already discussed above, everyone is suffering due to the lockdowns and social distancing. A large number of people have lost their jobs due to this pandemic and the social conditions are deteriorating with every passing day. Therefore, you can also introduce various promotions along with your products and their packaging so that people can also take some advantage from those promotions. It can be as simple as giving Sanitizer Boxes free along with a certain amount of products from your brand or it can be cash prizes and lucky draws for the customers as well.
