BIC Graphic Europe has launched a range of antibacterial products under its new BGuard™ brand.
The company’s best-selling BIC® Media Clic, BIC® Round Stic® and BIC® Clic Stic ballpens will all be available in antibacterial versions, including with an optional digital print on the barrel.
The range has been classified as a biocidal product with an antibacterial effect. The antibacterial efficiency is tested in accordance with the ISO 22196 test protocol, with full product protection for the lifetime of the product.
The BIC® Clic Stic Stylus will also be available in a BGuard™ version which, in a first of its kind, can help reduce the amount of unnecessary hand-to-surface contact.
Ian Barham, Trade Marketing Manager, said: “We first introduced an antibacterial range many years ago, but after a period of development we’re delighted to now be able to improve upon that with the launch our new BGuard™ range of antibacterial products.
“BGuard™ doesn’t just inhibit the growth of bacteria, but it eliminates 99.9% of bacteria on the barrel, the most exposed part of the pen.
“BGuard™ offers our customers everything that they love about the BIC® brand, including Mix and Match services at no additional cost or lead-time, but with the added peace of mind that comes from an antibacterial product.”
BGuard™ products will be available from Monday 3rd August 2020.
