Packaging and custom print company JohnsByrne has designed protective face shields for essential workers and first responders to support the fight against Covid-19 pandemic.
The firm said it is using innovation and manufacturing capabilities to design and manufacture what it claims to be much-needed reusable, protective face shields.
JohnsByrne’s new 6-piece face shield design features adjustable sizing as well as a band cover for added comfort for users.
JohnsByrne Company president and CEO Corey Gustafson said: “Seeing media reports of a lack of PPE, our structural design team got to work on a few 3D printed prototype options. We vetted and streamlined the concepts, and realized we had a best-in-class solution that we could manufacture.
“It’s fulfilling to make an immediate difference in a time of need. We are fortunate to be able to apply our passion and innovation, and rise to the occasion in this global fight.”
