Back to Work & Back to School Is Easy with American Made Safety Shields
At Testrite, we pride ourselves on working closely with our customers to provide quality products. We enjoy rising to the challenge of meeting our customer’s needs, and this past year was no exception.
 
In fact, in March, Testrite worked with a nationwide restaurant chain and their Digital Print partner to roll out customized American-made safety shields to their ~600 nationwide locations. And even before the pandemic hit, Testrite was a premier manufacturer of safety shield hardware.
 
Buying US-made products has never made more sense, and Testrite is proud to be an American manufacturer helping to refuel the economy and support jobs in the US. Functionality, durability, and clean design are our guiding principles, but most of all, we believe in providing American-made value.    

Transitioning Back to Work and School After a Year of Pandemic Living

As social distancing and quarantine restrictions begin to loosen, the country is preparing to return to in-person learning and work. Though we are all eager to get out of the house and back to a more normal way of living, it’s important to make a safe transition to help protect our loved ones and those around us from getting sick. 
 
Statistics show that even with vaccinations on the rise, and COVID numbers going down, there is still a fear of returning to work and getting infected or of transmitting the infection home to loved ones. Schools and businesses can help to allay these fears by utilizing sneeze guards and safety shields.  

Testrite American Made Safety Shields

Testrite manufactures a full line of safety shields and dividers, manufacturer direct, to help provide a safe transition back to school, work, and to help restaurants return to dine-in service. Our products are fire retardant to meet school and workplace safety standards and are made with aluminum uprights and steel bases, making them durable and sturdy yet lightweight and easy to maneuver. 
 
Shields are made with steel bases for weight and stability, and there is also the option to add ball-bearing wheels for ease and convenience. Our freestanding shields use flexible, thin transparent material, making them lightweight yet durable and easy to customize. As Testrite manufactures everything ourselves, our products are customizable to meet your exact needs. We can supply the entire shield and sneeze guard with steel and aluminum uprights and the acrylic/vinyl, or we can simply provide the hardware.
 
We also understand that COVID-19 will eventually become a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean your shields or hardware should lose their value or purpose. Our products are reusable and can be repurposed at any time for future graphics and messaging needs, including with vinyl, UV, and dye sublimated graphics. Many of our safety shields are multi-purpose and can be re-used time and time again.

Why Choose Testrite?

Not only are our products American-made, but Testrite is also one of the few true hardware manufacturers in the US, not a middleman nor importer.
 
By working directly with us, you get high quality products with customizable solutions to meet your exact needs with a faster turn-around time and at a more affordable price. 
 
Safety shields made outside the US are more expensive and create delays in the long run because:
  

• Made from acrylic, making them fragile and heavy. Many of them break in transit.
• High minimums order requirements 
• Hardware size requirements and limitations — means less customizable options

 
Buying from Testrite ensures you are getting quality products that meet your exact needs. We do custom orders from as little as 1 to quantities in the 1000s. We can even help with design and prototype if needed. 
 
We also offer US based sales and support at our home office and headquarters in Hackensack, NJ where everything is manufactured and shipped from.  Communication is always easy and clear from initial conversation to shipping.
