There is great confusion about clear cart covers.

  • What are they good for?
  • What are their weaknesses?
  • Are there alternatives?

What are clear cart covers good for?
Some people prefer clear cart covers at times because they really want to know what is on the cart. It is just that simple.

What are the weaknesses of clear cart covers?
There is a trade off. Really strong vinyl, like our Be-Chek, has a "scrim" composed of heavy yarn in the middle of the vinyl. Clear vinyl is unreinforced; it is transparent but easy to tear.

Sewing clear, unreinforced vinyl is tough. One mistake and you cut the fabric, so it must be sewn very slowly and carefully.

Using it can be just as tough. One little jerk and the fabric can tear, especially at intersections. So you have to be VERY careful. If you are going to use a clear cover regularly, your chances of ruining it increase substantially. Once it starts to tear, there is no solution, because the vinyl is unreinforced.

Are there alternatives?
Not until now. But HBD has developed a clear vinyl that is reinforced. It has the same antifungal, antimildew, and fire-resistant properties as our regular vinyl, and it weighs the same. So it is much stronger than clear vinyl.

The reinforced vinyl is clear - so is the scrim - but the combination is not as transparent as the clear vinyl. You will need to see if the reinforced vinyl works for your customers.

HBD will make NO GUARANTEES about its unreinforced clear vinyl covers except that they are sewn correctly. The moment they are used, our responsibility ends.

So make sure your customers inspect these covers before using them - and make sure they know how these unreinforced clear covers must be treated if they want them to last.

Only HBD offers clear reinforced vinyl cart covers. Hopefully they will work for most users. But if users must have unreinforced clear covers, make sure they understand how to use them properly.
