The G-BOX 100-pack offers a variety of cartoon patterns designed to increase child willingness to wear a face covering. These 3-ply masks follow a standard 145mm by 95mm mold, which is appropriate for the 4-12 age demographic. The external patterned layer is hydrophobic, helping to repel liquids, while the middle melt-blown core provides the functional barrier.
Because these masks are designed with aesthetics in mind, the external dye layer can slightly increase airflow resistance compared to unprinted versions. The ear loops are a polyester and spandex blend with high elasticity. However, the ultrasonic welds are best handled with a gentle touch, as they have a specific tensile limit. The nose bridge is plastic-coated to allow for shaping around the nasal area.
Practical tips for use:
- Carry 2-3 extra masks in a backpack to account for any potential ear-loop breakage.
- Allow the masks to air out if a slight dye scent is noticed upon opening a fresh bag.
- Adjust the nose wire firmly upon application to help maintain the seal on smaller faces.
While the patterns are a hit for compliance, they are not intended for high-risk sterile environments. For those looking for a similar quantity in a solid, professional color for older children, the Borje 100-pack of black masks is a comparable alternative.
