With Landor’s range of protective coatings, antimicrobial protection is easy to add, giving you durable surface hygiene alongside long-term graphic protection.
Surfaces in hospitals, shops, offices, transport hubs, care homes, schools and public buildings are touched thousands of times a day. Protecting people from harmful microbes on those surfaces has become an essential responsibility. For businesses, designers, printers and facilities managers, the conversation often starts with “How do we protect the printed graphics?” But there is a more important question:
How do we protect the people who touch those surfaces every day?
This is where Landor Antimicrobial Liquid Lamination, certified to ISO 22196, plays a crucial role. Our protective coatings don’t just safeguard your graphics from wear, tear and environmental damage; they also help reduce microbial transmission on the surfaces people touch most.
In environments where the risks are real and potentially lethal, this isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Microbes don’t care whether a surface carries a printed graphic, directional signage, patient information or a decorative finish. They simply survive and multiply, waiting for their next human host.
The consequences can be devastating:
Sepsis, one of the world’s silent killers, often develops from infections caused by bacteria picked up from contaminated surfaces.
Vulnerable groups, including hospital patients, elderly care home residents and immunocompromised people, are at particularly high risk.
High-traffic spaces create high-risk surfaces. Door handles, lifts, tills, kiosks, display counters and reception desks all become transmission points.
Yet many organisations still leave surface protection out of their safety strategy.
Landor’s ColourShield clear protective coatings have been used for years to extend the life and durability of printed graphics. Today, they deliver something even more valuable:
Independent ISO 22196 antimicrobial certificationThis provides a measurable, proven reduction in microbial growth on treated surfaces.
Simple, fast integration into any graphics production workflowWhether you produce wall graphics, signage, POS displays, murals, packaging prototypes or interior architectural finishes, you can add antimicrobial protection immediately and easily.
Protection beyond the printYour graphic no longer protects just itself.
It helps protect every person who touches it.
Long-lasting, cost-effective hygieneUnlike temporary sprays or wipe-on products, Landor liquid lamination forms a durable, bonded surface that keeps working for months and years.
Antimicrobial coatings deliver life-saving benefits where microbial spread can be deadly, but they are just as valuable in everyday settings.
Hospital wall graphics
Bedside charts and patient room signage
Nurses’ stations and reception desks
Treatment room displays
Equipment labels and control panels
Why it’s essential:
In hospitals and care homes, surface contamination can lead to dangerous infections in vulnerable patients. Every touchpoint matters.
Elderly residents are more prone to infection and have slower immune responses. Printed surfaces, wall decorations and information boards are touched often and should be protected.

Where many people touch the same surface, antimicrobial protection reduces the risk of microbial spread.
Surface hygiene is not just the job of cleaners or infection-control teams. It begins with the materials we choose.
