The most sought-after item of 2020? Face masks, without a doubt. Since face masks are still new to many, it’s important to be well-informed about safe options and the possibilities for customization.
With face masks becoming a daily essential, a lot of questions have come up: Which masks are truly safe? Can I personalize my mask to make it stand out? Are custom-made masks available? These are all important questions. First, it’s crucial to understand which face mask options provide effective protection. Then, since we wear them every day, it’s natural to want masks that are both functional and stylish—customization helps achieve that.
In this article, we look at the pros and cons of custom face masks over generic ones so you can make the best choice.
What Are Custom Face Masks?
Custom face masks stand out from generic masks thanks to unique features and personalized prints. It’s not just about stylish designs—though those are a big plus—it’s also about enhanced safety features and the chance to express your personality even while wearing a mask.
Here are some examples of different types of masks:
- Custom masks for children
- Polymeric latex face masks
- Masks for skin irritation
- Printed masks
Children have smaller faces and more delicate skin. This means they benefit from different materials and sizes. Polymetric latex masks are made from soft, durable, and washable materials that make them ideal for re-using and minimizing waste. There are also specialized masks for sensitive skin.
Then there are custom printed masks. After you have chosen the best type of mask for your age, skin type, and budget, you can personalize it using printing.
Keep in mind, fabric masks are the best type of masks for printing. They are not a substitute for N95 medical-grade masks. However, these medical masks are short in supply and are better saved for front line workers who need the most protection.
If you plan on printing, the printable area of your mask will likely be 3" x 3".
