OSAKA SEALING PRINTING CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Tennoji-ku, Osaka City; President: Matsuguchi Tadashi), a member of the OSP Group, will begin selling the "Evacuation Shelter Construction Sticker Set" on the e-commerce site Amazon from Sunday, September 1, 2024.

This product is a sticker that displays the necessary information in an evacuation shelter in an easy-to-understand manner using letters and colors, and you can quickly and easily set up an evacuation shelter just by sticking it on. It sticks firmly and leaves no sticky residue when removed.

It has been used in the Kumamoto earthquake, the northern Osaka earthquake, and the Western Japan heavy rains, and has been praised for "enabling the speedy setup of evacuation shelters." Sales begin on September 1st, which is Disaster Prevention Day, established to raise disaster prevention awareness and commemorate the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Learning from the lessons of the devastating damage, the day was established with the aim of deepening knowledge of disasters and improving preparations, preventing them from happening and mitigating damage. The product is now on sale with the hope that people will review and improve their equipment in preparation for the recent disasters that have occurred nationwide.

■ Development Background

Immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the person in charge of this product saw the chaotic conditions at evacuation shelters and wondered, "Is there something we can do to help with stickers?" In the event of an emergency, staff are required to set up evacuation shelters quickly, so the idea was conceived with the concept of reducing the amount of work required while also reducing the anxiety and inconvenience of disaster victims and helping to avoid danger. The stickers were created as a tool to convey necessary information correctly and in an easy-to-understand manner.

■Why sell on Amazon?

Osaka Sealing Printing provides a variety of products, including stickers, labels, packaging, promotional items, and services, to businesses, including food manufacturers and retailers. In order to expand sales channels from business-to-business to business-to-consumer, the company began selling "three types of message cards" on Amazon in February of this year. The cards have been well-received by ordinary consumers, who say that they can be purchased as needed without ordering lots. The "Shelter Construction Sticker Set," which is being added to the lineup, had limited sales channels until now, but the sales system has been strengthened so that it can be purchased as needed, just like the above.
