Hand Sanitizer Stands: Good, Better, Best

Trade Show Blog

Hand Sanitizer Stands

If you’ve attended an event or a trade show recently, you know that hand sanitizer stands are in the convention hall, the booth space, the aisles, and the meeting rooms. But that’s just the beginning. You literally see them everywhere you go in life: retail shops, schools, airports, business lobbies, medical offices, and restaurants. 

You may have also noticed that some are still attractive and functional and others are battered and broken. In the rush to supply hand sanitizer stands several years ago, not every sanitizer solution was designed for daily long-term use. 

Made in the USA

At Classic Exhibits, we design and build hand sanitizer solutions to last years, not months. The Stand Tough™ line features aluminum extrusion, steel base plates, and anodized or powder-coated finishes. They resist dents, scratches, and dings from kids, vacuum cleaners, shopping carts, and customers texting and walking. 

Their modular construction makes it easy to disassemble, pack, and ship. Plus, they come with graphic, tablet, and literature trays options in a range of prices. 

The Stand Tough™ Stands are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and are Made in the USA.

Getting Started with Hand Sanitizer Stands

Because every office, school, event, or retail store is different, we have 16 sanitizer stand designs.. However, we don’t have a solution often seen in supermarkets, discount stores, and gas stations. There are basic stands that are little more than a tray for a bottle of sanitizer fluid with a flip cap or a pump. Either way, they both require touching a surface. 

All Stand Tough™ Sanitizer Stands have touchless dispensers that can be adjusted to dispense either a small amount of fluid or a spray. The dispensers have a refillable reservoir rather than a sealed plastic pouch which makes it easier and more economic to refill. In addition, the dispensers are mounted to hygienic stainless steel trays for easy cleaning and for maintaining a sanitary surface. 

Let’s explore your options, both in features and price points, in three categories:  Good, Better, and Best. Every sanitizer stand has a Limited Lifetime Warranty and includes batteries and reusable corrugated packaging.

CUSTOM Hand Sanitizer Stands

Not seeing the perfect solution? No problem. As a builder of stands and not an importer, we can design and build a custom sanitizer solution for your specific needs.

Many clients have requested colors that match their logo or store design, like red, black, blue, or green. Still, others have asked for a more customized counter or pedestal with storage. We’ve also mounted the sanitizer dispensers to existing fixtures or exhibits so they blend into the theme or design. In addition, we can create a sanitizer solution with larger graphics or multiple dispensers for stadiums, convention centers, or arenas. Just give us a call or send us an email.
