Encore Commercial Products Inc. has introduced a new marketing tool for self-storage properties: MediaBollards, which convert bollards into instant billboards by using a specially designed flat front panel. The panels can be customized with promotional messages and logos, or imprinted with directional or safety messages such as “No Parking,” “Enter” and “Exit.” The bollards fit easily and securely over new or existing bollards and posts. The low-density, polyethylene protective covers come in a wide range of colors. They are UV-resistant and can withstand extreme temperatures.
 
Encore also manufactures and distributes Post Guard, a colorful plastic bollard cover. The company offers a variety of other products that prevent vehicle damage including  Height Guard (overhead protection), Scrape Guard (flexible vinyl cover) and Gorilla Post (temporary magnetic post).
