In early March, Karat by Lollicup^™ was quick to pivot resources from foodservice products to launch the Karat 3-Ply Face Mask. During a time when face coverings were scarce, the company's CEO recognized the importance of masks to help combat the spread and made it a priority to make protection available to everyone at affordable prices. Since then, they have grown the line of products and sold over 90 million masks to date.

Company CEO Alan Yu stated: "Karat Packaging has been one of the fortunate companies that has survived the lockdown, as well as the economic slowdown of this economy. Now that the California economy is about to re-open, we want to give back to and support our nearby communities so that we can all go back to our normal lives quicker."

Karat by Lollicup^™is committed to provide essential products at affordable prices that both consumers and businesses need to move forward throughout this pandemic.
