Custom Paper Face Masks

A proven, sustainable alternative to single-use plastic masks. 

Help your customers, without hurting the planet

We all wish they weren't, but masks are going to be here for a while. A very long while in the case of single-use plastic ones. So we've used our paper expertise to create a more sustainable custom option for your brand. They’re made from fully recyclable cotton paper – and printed and packaged in the USA.

The science behind the Paper Face Mask

A face covering made from… paper? Yep, it’s different, but when it comes to protecting you and your customers, paper delivers.

FAQs - Custom Face Masks

Are MOO’s custom face masks reusable?

No. Our custom face masks are single-use only and should not be reused.

Are these custom face masks recyclable?

Yes. Our custom printed face masks are 100% recyclable. And 100% recycled too.

What material are they made of?

Our custom face coverings are made with a lighter version of our tree-free cotton paper. It’s a recycled material that comes from T-shirt offcuts.

Where are they made?

Every MOO face mask is made, printed, and packed in the USA.

Why does the world need another mask though?

The use of disposable masks has led to a huge increase in single-use plastic. As experts in paper and design, we set out to create a more sustainable and user friendly option.

What occasions are these masks intended for?

Many of your colleagues, employees and customers may now be in the habit of wearing their regular reusable masks. But it’s easy to forget things. Instead of turning them away, you can now give them a sustainable single-use option to put on instead.

How do they fit securely?

It’s all thanks to some nifty paper engineering on the ear straps. It’s a technique known as kirigami. It helps our face masks to cover the nose and mouth securely, ensuring a comfortable fit that adapt to all kinds of adult faces.

How do I start creating custom designed face masks?

Just get in touch with one of our friendly account managers to chat through what you need. Then we’ll send you a set of guidelines to help you design your face mask.

Is it PPE?

No. According to FDA guidance, non-surgical face masks such as ours — and all others on the market — are not classified as personal protective equipment (PPE). Our face mask is not intended to provide protection from fluids or to filter particles. Instead, it serves as a means of source control. That means it provides a barrier that helps stop respiratory droplets traveling into the air and onto other people (much like covering your mouth when you cough).

Does paper really work?

A study which examined the stability of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) on different surfaces found that no infectious virus could be recovered from printing and tissue papers after a 3-hour incubation, whereas a detectable level of infectious virus could still be present on the outer layer of a surgical mask on day 7.

Is it as effective as a single-use plastic mask?

Research shows that the MOO Paper Face Mask is just as effective as a single-use plastic mask. So you won’t be compromising on safety. 

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) tested it against a disposable plastic mask and found both masks reduced the amount of droplets expelled in a forward direction, compared to not wearing a face covering.

Based on the use of relative pixel brightness as a proxy for the measurement of droplets, results from RIT indicate similar levels of droplet expulsion for the Paper Face Mask and a disposable plastic face covering.

What's the minimum order quantity?

You can get branding, customizing, and making our paper masks your own, from a minimum order quantity of just 100 units.

Disclaimer

The Paper Face Mask is classified as a non-surgical face mask: a device that covers the user’s nose and mouth. Like any other non-surgical face mask on the market, the Paper Face Mask has not been regulated by the FDA, but has been authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use as source control, in accordance with CDC recommendations. 

The product is (1) not intended for use in a surgical or clinical setting (2) not intended to provide liquid barrier protection (3) not intended for antimicrobial or antiviral protection, infection prevention or reduction, or related uses (4) not intended to filter particles.


Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) evaluated a Paper Face Mask and a disposable plastic face covering. They found both reduced the amount of droplets expelled in forward direction compared to not wearing a face covering. Download the full report here.
