Colop’s continued partnership with Microban International helps stamp out bacteria
Colop, an independent manufacturer of stamps and marking devices, is celebrating a decade of incorporating Microban antimicrobial technology into the handle, cap and index window of its Classic Line, Printer Line, Pocket and Children's stamps. These products are perfect for use in high-traffic environments, such as schools, healthcare facilities, offices and airports.
Growing consumer demand for smarter products that are protected against bacterial growth spurred Colop into creating an entirely new kind of stamp more than 10 years ago. The proven antimicrobial formulation from Microban is integrated into products at the stage of manufacture, and lasts for the stamp's expected lifetime.
Together with routine cleaning, this technology works continuously to prevent degrading bacterial growth on the surface of the stamp by up to 99.99 %, delivering added peace of mind.
"We are constantly looking for new ways to improve our products and give our clients that little extra,” says Chris Deighton, Director at Colop. “Adding antimicrobial technology to our product range felt like an obvious choice, as it gives us a competitive edge and provides our customers with much-needed reassurance.
“We are proud to have been partnering with Microban for the past decade, and we look forward to many more years of successful collaboration."
