Inspiration from the front line during COVID-19
It’s time to highlight some of the amazing print initiatives being created to support key workers during COVID-19.
Every day during the COVID-19 crisis, thousands of key workers head out to work to keep the country up and running. On top of all the hardworking government, police and healthcare staff, over 20,000 NHS workers have come out of retirement to help and a further 170,000 people have volunteered to join the cause.
We’ve seen some amazing designs come through the press over the past few weeks, many of them created in support of these crucial key workers. So, we’ve decided now is the perfect time to highlight some of our favourites.
Even in the darkest of times, inspiration can still be found. And now more than ever, we’re coming together to support each other and those who need the most help.
So, let’s take a look!

Nightshift Vinyl Stickers
Doctors and nurses are working round the clock during COVID-19.

With the ability to remove and re-apply multiple times, these prints are a big help for nurses who are constantly on their feet.

NHS Positive Postcards
Kerri Emerson wanted to do as much as she could to support frontline staff during COVID-19. These fabulous Postcard designs intend to spread positive vibes and boost morale among NHS staff all over the country. Kerri picked some of her favourite quotes and then asked talented designer Emily Freeman (@emily.rose.designs) to translate them into colourful designs. Mission accomplished!

Kokoa Eco Beauty Thank You Cards
Kokoa Eco Beauty are about all things eco- including their 100% natural ‘One For All’ liquid soap. What’s more the business is donating all profits from this product to support the NHS, with each order being accompanied by this vibrant Thank You Card. With demand for hand wash having skyrocketed in the UK over the past few weeks (and everyone now washing their hands VERY thoroughly) we think this is a fantastic way to raise money for our health service during COVID-19. Heroes!

Post Box Cafe Bistro- Thank You Posters
While they might currently be closed, the Post Box Cafe Bistro remains loud and proud in its support for the NHS and key workers during COVID-19.
Alex Kinsey from the cafe stated that “It’s been very stressful as a hospitality business owner in the last weeks, because of the uncertainty to trading during onset of COVID-19, but it’s nothing in comparison to what our NHS staff are facing.” So as a sign of respect and support, the cafe are using their large windows to showcase these Display Boards to publicly thank any NHS workers that might pass by.
