Household appliances with screens also need protection

As technology progresses and more and more household appliances are connected to the internet, bringing a truly inter-connected world to reality, so the need for screen protection grows.

Customers can use the screen of the fridge as a virtual check on what is inside, enhancing energy efficiency and speeding their shopping process.

However, as with any glass screen they are susceptible to cracks, scratches and damage.

There is a way to protect these expensive and valuable additions to your clients’ household management – screen protectors – exactly the same as they use on their mobile devices, the same devices which they can now connect to their fridges, microwaves and other appliances via the internet.

Local cutting systems specialist AM.CO.ZA has introduced a new protective film cutting system, the V-6 Film/180 film cutter, a product designed specifically for the custom cutting of protective and privacy screen films for a range of uses including screens on these appliances. The cutter is able to handle cutting of shapes up to 120 x 185mm.
