Top Dog Product Features Top Dog reusable garments are designed to support zoned color-coding programs. The five colors offered pair with the core colors of Vikan tools, increasing the effectiveness of end users’ HACCP plans. Color-coded garments provide food manufacturers an additional tool for quick visual verification. This helps ensure that the right people are using the right tools for specified zones. These products are durable and hygienic, making them an excellent complement to Vikan’s cleaning and material handling tools. The total-color garments provide protection to the wearer and are easy on the environment because they are reusable. These garments are made from a polyurethane film, making them ideal for the food and beverage industry.
