'Tap-Kins' Prevent Direct Contact with Self-Serve Equipment
Michael Hemsworth — June 21, 2020 — Business
Self-service food and drink equipment is a mainstay part of the convenience store sector that has come into question in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the 'Tap-Kins' disposable sleeves have been created to help ensure cleanliness.
The single-use sleeves are designed to be fitted over the handle on self-service machines that dispense food or drink in order to eliminate direct contact with the common surface. This could work to prevent the spread of pathogens, while also providing peace-of-mind for consumers when picking up some of their favorite fare from their local corner store.
The 'Tap-Kins' disposable sleeves are intended to be held in a compact dispenser that can hold up to 300 sleeves at a time and can be customized with any logo.
