Abstract
Described herein is a germ guard label and methods of using the same. A germ guard label at least substantially conformal to an oral transmission area of an object can prevent or limit transmission of contaminants like germs, for example, from person to person. When an infected person touches an object covered with a germ guard label, germs transmitted from the infected person can contaminate the germ guard label rather than the object. Another person can remove the contaminated germ guard label from the object, and the oral contact area of the object covered by the germ guard label can be substantially germ free. The germ guard label also can prevent spillage of a substance from the oral contact area.

- thermoforming a food grade material having a shape sufficient to at least correspond to an oral contact area of an object to the object,
- wherein the food grade material is at least substantially conformal to the object.
A method for applying a label that prevents contaminant transmission, comprising:
- at least one of cleaning a beverage container or sanitizing the beverage container;
- and
- applying a food grade material having a shape sufficient to at least correspond to an oral contact area of the beverage container so that the food grade material is at least substantially conformal to the beverage container,
- wherein the food grade material comprises antimicrobial properties.
