Kiosk protection is vital, but covers can also have another benefit: passive brand advertising.

When you're already investing in a cover, imprinting a logo or other brand assets on the fabric is a relatively small line item to add, but it can make a big impact on how your customers perceive you.

For instance, we transformed this Harbor Sweets kiosk from an unprotected asset to one that was fully enclosed, but still shouted loud and clear to customers about what they're all about.

Covers are not just deterrents--sometimes they even stop the bad behavior entirely.

A few years ago, we worked with a client who had a relatively simple ask: their parking kiosk was continually being tagged with graffiti, and they were tired of dealing with the cleanup. Their thinking was, just put a cover over it and the graffiti goes on the fabric instead of the kiosk. After all, a cover is much easier to clean or replace than a kiosk.

What actually happened was even more surprising: the graffiti stopped completely. The cover (and the kiosk underneath) have been clean ever since.

We'd love to take credit for some kind of advanced anti-graffiti fabric technology that can stop graffiti artists in their tracks, but honestly, a covered kiosk just looks like something that someone has been paying attention to. And that, it turned out, was enough to stop the bad behavior entirely.

If you've got equipment that needs protecting, whether from bad behavior or the elements, we'd love to help. Drop into our DMs or visit equipinc.com today.

American-based manufacturing isn't just practical--it's also local.

Yesterday, a couple walked into our facility looking for repairs on an awning. While walk-ins don't happen often, it's heartening to know that if you need to find us, you can just walk right through the front door.

There are a myriad of benefits to being an American-based manufacturer, but being able to meet and speak directly with our customers always leaves us with a sense of satisfaction. When you work with a domestic manufacturer, you're able to form a true partnership, not just a transactional relationship.

See that stack next to the blade? That's 50 layers of freshly-cut fabric.

This is our Blue Streak II. A fabric cutting machine built by Eastman Machine Company and one of the hardest working pieces of equipment we own. When a large order comes in and the timeline is tight, this is what makes precision at volume possible.

In 2024, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world needed covers for sensitive lab equipment used inside a cleanroom environment.

We worked through the prototypes until every detail was right and shipped covers that met the client's needs exactly. This is the kind of project that allows us to shine.

DM us or visit equipinc.com if you're working on something that needs more than a standard cover can offer.

Airports and open-air shopping centers never really close. But the kiosks and retail fixtures inside them do, and when they do, they need to be protected.

This cover goes on in under a minute, locks with a zipper, and fits the unit underneath like a glove.

We've been making custom covers for airports, malls, and retail operators across the country for over 25 years. If you're in need of protection, send us a DM or visit equipinc.com for more info.

Most covers hide what's underneath, but this one was designed to do the opposite.

The St. Louis Science Center contacted us in 2025 with a problem that signage alone couldn't solve. During evening events, parking is often free, but visitors kept finding their way to the kiosk and trying to pay anyway. They needed something that stopped the confusion before it started, without losing sight of the brand they'd spent years building.

We built them custom fitted covers in the Science Center's signature navy blue, with their logo, their color palette, and a message printed directly on the fabric: "No need to pay, have a great day." These covers provided protection for the equipment, clarity for the visitor, and branding that stays visible around the clock.

It turned out the best signage they ever had wasn't a sign at all.

We don't just make custom covers — we sew solutions.

Every repair that comes through our door has a story behind it.

This piece of vinyl had clearly seen years of honest work before it finally gave out, protecting restaurant guests from the elements while taking a beating itself. We treated it the way we treat everything that comes through here: with care and the intention of sending it back better than it arrived.

A lot of people don't know that repairs are a part of what we do. Covers, tarps, vinyl panels: if it's sewn and broken, there's a good chance we can bring it back to life.

If you have a sewn product that needs new life and you're not ready to give up on it yet, send us a photo--we'd love to take a look. DM us or visit equipinc.com for more information.

Protecting your equipment shouldn't slow you down.

Equip's RMU cover system was designed with real-world use in mind, featuring easy-to-use zippers, lockable cables for added security, multiple attachment options, and even a sewn-in storage bag to keep everything organized when it needs to be stored away for the day. Taking a cover off or putting it on couldn't be easier--in just a few moments, your morning opening or evening shutdown is complete, and there's no need for any extra help.

If you've got a kiosk or RMU that needs to be secured, whether standard or oddly-shaped, we're always up for the challenge. Send us a DM or visit equipinc.com to get started.
