Christchurch company overwhelmed by mask orders

From Morning Report, 6:10 am on 7 August 2020

Thousands of orders have piled in for a Christchurch company that's converted its clothing workshops to mask production.

Earth Sea and Sky started making the fabric part of the mask during lockdown, using fellow New Zealand company Lanaco for the filters.

But following the Government's announcement masks would be needed under Alert Level 2, they've been inundated.

Co-owner Jane Ellis told RNZ reporter Charlotte Cook the stream of orders from the docket printer was wrapped around the workroom.
