Promotional branding of face masks has become a common feature in workplaces, businesses, schools, and many other business organizations.
The use of face masks is not currently recommended worldwide, as it has now become a legal requirement in most regions. With millions of people having to follow their local government to wear masks daily, many companies and organizations are seeking a sustainable promotional solution while keeping everyone safe.
As a result, the demand for customized reusable face masks has increased considerably. To date, more and more business organisations are opting to brand their mask with their corporate branding.
Traditionally, companies and organizations have improved their brand identity through customizable merchandise, including T-shirts, hoodies, journal books, pens, caps, bags, raincoats, mugs, and the like. Due to the pandemic, companies are now seizing upon the opportunity to further promote their brand with a customised face mask.
They realized it's time to leverage the benefits of these custom printed face masks to raise brand awareness and make the most of this free advertising space while still complying with best practice and public health regulations.
When a company’s staff wear their new custom face masks, they become a natural representative of the brand at all times both during and outside of working hours.
What is the safest standard of reusable Face Mask?
A well-made reusable Face Mask should offer good levels of bacterial filtration whilst remaining breathable and comfortable to wear. A higher-end reusable face mask may also an added layer of protection in the form of an antiviral textile finish applied to the outer material.
A protective face mask should consist of at least 3 layers for optimum levels of filtration efficiencies: the outer layers are usually cotton or cotton-blend and the inner layers are made from non-woven materials which offer increased levels of filtration – eg polypropylene or meltblown.
"At Uniformal, our masks are manufactured in-house in Dublin factory in compliance with the SWiFT-19 standard. Our 4-layer masks made of soft cotton blend fabric and two built-in non-woven filtration layer with an adjustable nose bridge. The masks are reusable and machine washable (60°C)” said Barry McCabe, co-director from Uniformal.

Polygiene ViralOff is a treatment for textiles and other products that reduces tested viruses by 99% in two hours.
Polygiene once started in the care segment during the fight against SARS in 2004. This technology consists of applying an antiviral treatment (silver chloride) on the outer layer of textiles and other products (such as masks and gloves) to reduce viruses by 99% within 2 hours. It conforms to ISO18184:2019 and is proved efficient in laboratories against Influenza A (H1N1 & H3N2), Coronavirus/Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2), and Hepatitis. After 20-30 washes, the effectiveness will begin to reduce. However, as our Unifomal ViralOff treated masks and gloves are self-sanitizing, they will only require occasional machine washing.
