We've been asked why we focused on pump bottles rather than touchless or automatic hand sanitizer stations when we developed Handy Stands.
Automatic hand sanitizer stations look nice and touchless dispensers are convenient, but they come with their own sets of problems. Namely: Higher initial cost, more maintenance (think: batteries and smaller reservoirs), and they often lock you into using a certain type of sanitizer or refill pack.
What good is a sleek automatic hand sanitizer station if it's always empty or (worse) refill pouches are impossible to find?
Moreover, automatic hand sanitizer stations often can't be used outdoors and are less durable overall than the tried-and-true pump bottle.
Handy Stands are designed to hold almost any pump bottle up to 1 gallon, so you don't need to worry about finding the right refill packs or running out of sanitizer in the middle of your workday.
They can be used indoors and out, and (with no electronics or moving parts) and powder coated steel construction, Handy Stands will last for many years (even in high-traffic public settings).
Furthermore, unlike most automatic hand sanitizer stations, Handy Stands are made entirely in America by a family-owned small business. So, you can be proud that you are helping to support American manufacturing jobs.
Unlike automatic hand sanitizer stations, pump bottles do have a small touch point where germs can live. But, think about what you're using...HAND SANITIZER! As soon as your hand touches the pump, you are immediately killing any germs.
In the end, pump bottles are just as effective at killing germs as automatic hand sanitizer stations (only they're more durable and don't come with the the extra maintenance headaches). Handy Stands are designed to kill germs on hands while giving you more flexibility over what you use and making protecting your business, your team, and your customers easier. After all...isn’t that the point?

Demand for Handy Stands has been phenomenal (so strong, in fact, that we've sold out in less than a week)! We have already released a new batch of hand sanitizer stands into production. This second run is twice as large as our first, so we are hoping to better keep up with demand from here on out.
Unfortunately, that means another wait as our production works to catch up to demand. We expect this second wave of sanitizer stations to be complete and ready to ship just after the July 4th weekend.
It's never our desire to make anyone wait for something they need and we know that many businesses are rushing to reopen safely right now. We are working as hard as we can to help meet that need. In the meantime, we are going to begin pre-orders for the next batch of hand sanitizer stands. That way, when they are complete we can get them in the hands of our customers ASAP.
Thank you all again, and continue to stay safe!
Packaging has arrived and we are preparing our initial batch of Handy Stands for shipment! We’re excited to have the finished stands rolling through our plant. After our first couple of prototype runs, it’s great to finally see the finished product in front of you!
We assembled a few of the first batch to test out the various bottle sizes of sanitizer that we’ve been collecting over the past few weeks. I think the image above says it all...Handy Stands really are a universal sanitation solution!

We’re looking for promotional partners in the hand sanitizer market. We have customers asking where to purchase sanitizer. Maybe you have customers who’d be interested in stands.
Our plan is to add a page to this site with links to partners who can supply and ship quality sanitizer to our customers. All we ask is that you return the favor and link to our product via your website.
The goal is simple: You handle the sanitizer, we’ll handle a place to put it.
Interested? Contact us here.
]]>We understand that a bottle of hand sanitizer can be an investment (plus, it can’t protect your business if it suddenly “walks away”). Based on customer feedback and testing, we realized that our bottle tray wasn’t keeping small and mid-sized pump bottles (around 1 liter and under) as secure as they should be.
So, we’ve re-designed the platform on which the bottle rests to be reversible! We added a security tray to one side of the platform to make it really difficult to slide a smaller bottle out once locked in place. If you want to use a larger jug of liquid (like a half-gallon or gallon), just flip the platform over and your larger containers remain secure as well.
This redesigned security tray will be included with all Handy Stands we ship. It’s one more way we’re working to make Handy Stands the most useful sanitation stands you can buy!
