The emergence of the coronavirus has reshaped how businesses interact with their customers and employees. Now more than ever, protecting both groups from exposure remains a top priority. Some sign manufacturers are producing self-supporting protective barriers designed to provide reliable safeguards. The clear, polycarbonate sheets are durable and can be securely installed in restaurants, grocery markets, and a wide range of retail spaces. Here are several benefits of using the protective shields. 

4 Ways Self-Supporting Protective Barriers Can Help Businesses

1. Protect the Community

The barriers create a safe social distancing space for customers at a cashier or counter space. Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommend at least six feet distance between individuals to minimize exposure to the coronavirus. The self-supporting protective barriers can be installed to meet these standards to help keep the community safe.

2. Protect Employees

Likewise, your business’s employees are also protected behind the barriers. They can maintain safe social distancing lengths with each customer contact. From office cubicles to shipping and receiving areas, some sign manufacturers can use the same materials and equipment to produce barriers that keep employees at safe distances from each other. Coupled with masks and gloves, the shields offer a three-pronged approach to minimizing coronavirus exposure.

3. Accommodate Everyone   

You can get the self-supporting protective barriers custom-made to fit your company’s indoor spaces. The polycarbonate sheets are pliable enough to be shaped into a variety of styles, lengths, widths, and heights. Perhaps your business needs a taller or longer barrier to accommodate more customer foot traffic. A sign manufacturer has the specialized cutting equipment to create precise designs to fit near cash registers, on carry-out counters, and around ATMs.  

4. Establish Comfort Zones

When customers see the self-supporting protective barriers installed in your business, they may feel a sense of relief. Visitors are more likely to feel comfortable shopping in your establishment because the effort has been made to provide added safeguards against the coronavirus. They are also more apt to return, which ultimately has a positive impact on your company’s bottom line.
