Retail display specialist Benchmark has teamed up with leading flexible and paper packaging company Coveris to develop a disposable, hygienic barrier visor to help protect against Covid-19. Benchmark Displays has pioneered its Rainbow Visor face shield alongside manufacturer Coveris and design partner OrsCol Creative.
With capacity to produce up to 10 million units a week, the visors are suitable for workplace and general use and do not impact the current government procurement strategy of PPE for the NHS and front-line workers, meaning they are easily accessible and do not compete with healthcare or other UK supply chain priorities. Developed by Benchmark in line with the EU product safety directives, visors are manufactured at Coveris’ packaging facility in St.Neots. Coveris has dedicated several operational lines to produce the visors for single-use applications.
The easy-to-assemble visors are supplied with a removable, self-adjusting elastic strap for added comfort and safety to protect the eyes, nose, mouth and prevent touching of the face. The lightweight, sustainably sourced board and barrier laminate structure also features integral anti-fog film properties for improved visibility.
