COLOP stamps out bacteria with Microban partnership

COLOP, an independent manufacturer of stamps and marking devices, is celebrating a decade of incorporating Microban antimicrobial technology.

Microban tech is incorporated into the handle, cap, and index windows of COLOP’s stamps, making these products perfect for use in high-traffic, infection-sensitive environments such as care homes and healthcare facilities.

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 International is integrated into products at the manufacturing stage 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 per cent, delivering added peace of mind.

Chris Deighton, Director at COLOP, said: “We are constantly looking for new ways to improve our products and give our clients that little extra. 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.”
