To support businesses and organisations with their floor sticker requirements through the pandemic, OKI Europe is offering free floor sticker media and downloadable artwork communicating social distancing guidelines. This will enable organisations to minimise the time it takes to print essential floor stickers and put them in place, whether in hospitals, surgeries pharmacies, retail stores, public sector organisations, office receptions, hotels or communal spaces, wherever they may be required.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends keeping at least one metre from others, It’s inside critical retailers such as grocery stores, supermarkets and pharmacies and service organisations such as hospitals and public sector offices where the social distancing rules are most noticeable and these are also the most difficult places to ensure the distance is maintained. Floor stickers are the ideal solution for encouraging social distancing in stores.
Floor stickers are also not easy to roll out quickly and easily, especially for those retailers or businesses with vast networks of stores or offices that in some cases span multiple countries. From getting the messaging of the floor sticker right, creating an effective design, choosing the right size and format, deciding on the best material for the application, sourcing and ordering media, testing and visualizing in-store, printing and dispatching the stickers to each location, the end-to-end process is time consuming. Even if outsourced, businesses are reliant on external print suppliers’ timelines. And for businesses who are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of customers and staff during a pandemic, while getting their business fully operational, time is of the essence.
Recognising the difficulties public sector organisations, retailers and other businesses face when it comes to implementing floor stickers for social distancing purposes, OKI has teamed up with Floralabels to help ease the pressure and make this process as quick and easy as possible by suppyling limited free floor stickers.
