IPG’s new social distancing program features essential products designed for businesses entering the reopening phase while abiding by social distancing guidelines.

“We’ve been closely watching the nation enter the reopening phases of businesses, public areas and restaurants and saw an explicit need for social distancing marking tapes,” explained Nick Park, IPG’s Vice President of Consumer Sales. “Social distancing is proving to become a lasting effect from the global pandemic and will continue to be practiced even while restrictions are being lifted. We are prepared to expand and adjust our product mix as social distancing needs continue to arise.” 

The social distancing program offers retail packaged products ready for prominent shelf placement. The full assortment consists of blue and orange indoor tape (1.41in x 60yd) and red and yellow outdoor tape (1.88in x 60yd). These products are intended to mark 6ft distance points for directing foot traffic and facilitating safe line formation. They feature secure adhesion and clean removal from most surfaces.
