Clear Plastic Films

To use as the shield in front of the face of the wearer. A standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ hole punch is required to make the holes to attach the films to the face shield headband.

Options are available on Amazon in various sizes, and from office supply stores as 8 1/2″ x 11″ transparency films (Office Depot, Staples, etc.):

We’ve used these, but any clear film that can be 3-hole-punched would work.

Please note that Amazon has delayed delivery of “non-critical” items. It is possible to contact Amazon and explain what you are using the elastic and plastic films for, and they MAY be able to speed up the delivery. Other sources might be faster than Amazon at this time.
