At ASD Market Week in Las Vegas, Antix LLC will unveil Brandage, a new line of adhesive bandages designed to take the big drama out of protecting small scrapes. The sting of adhesive tugging at sensitive skin is often more upsetting than a minor injury, leaving parents dreading the experience as much as kids do. Brandage adhesive bandages introduce a different experience that involves a two-step process. Before removing the bandage, a parent applies pressure with a wet paper towel, which makes removal easier and at the same time, activates a temporary tattoo transfer.
Across the line, there are tons of fun tattoos and more than 100 characters. Brandage plans to expand its product line to include glow-in-the-dark and metallic temporary tattoos and limited-edition collections, as well as designs specifically for tweens.
