In the fast-paced realm of food service, where hygiene is everything, understanding these silent protectors is the key to delivering top-notch solutions. Join us as we delve into the diverse array of food shields and essential considerations for dealers and resellers, guided by the expertise of NAKS, Inc.
Understanding the Types of Food Shields
- Food Service: These transparent barriers are a frontline defense against airborne contaminants, commonly used in cafeterias, buffets, and salad bars. Food shields maintain visibility while protecting food items from contamination, ensuring a safe dining experience for patrons.
- Retail Displays: Similar to food service applications, food shields used for retail displays offer protection against airborne contaminants. Commonly used in QSR, grocery, and convenience stores, Food Shields used for retail displays also protect food items that are staged for display purposes only.
- Transaction Windows: Widely employed in fast-food drive-thrus, food trucks, and concession stands, transaction windows facilitate secure exchanges of food and payment. These windows ensure a safe and efficient transaction process while maintaining a hygienic separation between customers and staff.
- Portable Shields: Offering flexibility and adaptability, portable food shields are ideal for catering services, temporary events, or establishments with dynamic layouts. These shields are easily movable and adjustable, providing versatile solutions for various food service settings.
Key Supplier Considerations for Dealers and Resellers
- Quality and Durability: Prioritize suppliers that offer high-quality food shields crafted from tempered glass for optimal clarity, durability, and easy maintenance. Opt for solutions that withstand rigorous use and maintain their integrity over time, ensuring long-term reliability for clients.
- Customization Options: Choose suppliers like NAKS, Inc., that offer customization options to meet clients’ unique needs. From adjusting dimensions to incorporating branding elements, customization ensures that food shield solutions align perfectly with clients’ requirements and preferences.
- Compliance and Certification: Partner with suppliers whose food shield products comply with industry standards and regulations. Look for certifications such as NSF International (National Sanitation Foundation) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards to guarantee safety, hygiene, and regulatory compliance. At NAKS, Inc. our food shields are ANSI / NSF 2 listed, the highest category certifications in the industry.
- Direct Sourcing: Food shield production is often outsourced to third-party suppliers. This can lead to production bottlenecks and compatibility issues with other custom-fabricated foodservice surfaces. At NAKS, we produce our food shields in-house with high-quality tempered glass using manufacturing designs we’ve perfected over our 35+ years of history.
