G-TEC PAPER & FILM ANNOUNCE TOUCHSHIELD™ – A UNIQUE NEW RANGE OF ANTI-MICROBIAL SELF-ADHESIVE FILM PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF BACTERIA AND VIRUSES WITHIN PUBLIC SPACES.

TouchShield™ is announced as the latest standard-setting innovation from UK media manufacturer, G-Tec Paper & Film. A range of protective, anti-microbial, self-adhesive film products designed to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.  

The new, anti-microbial film range comes with an easy-apply air release system to achieve a bubble free application, for easy installation into public spaces and environments. 

The clear film with only a secure branded watermark can be integrated to all retail, medical and public sectors without compromising on brand identity for the consumer. 


Visual interpretations of where the clear, anti-microbial films can be applied:

“We wanted to produce an anti-microbial range of film products that would be accessible and easy-to-apply to everyday items” enthuses director and head of R&D for the company, Andrew Gartshore. This being the driving factor for the development which launches this May from the Banbury media manufacturer. 

“Our anti-microbial coating offers up to 99% protection against bacteria and viruses. This tough, germ fighting top-coating, partnered with over 35 years of product development experience within the self-adhesive film sector delivers a totally unique range of products for the consumer” Andrew comments further. 

The UK coating company introduces the first two film product developments within the TouchShield™ range, designed as the perfect protective solution for surfaces within environments where cross contamination of bacteria and viruses can often be found. 

Managing director Will Duggins said of the development “We are incredibly excited to start discussing this unique range with all of our distribution partners and look forward to welcoming new opportunities in areas that these films can truly make a difference”.
