History
The name ACE™—which stood for All Cotton Elastic—was chosen in 1918 after a nationwide contest was held that offered physicians a chance to win $200 for coming up with the best name for the new bandage. In 2018, the brand marked 100 years, noting that for the last 100 years families have grown up with an ACE™ Brand bandage, and created a commemorative tin can reflecting back on the beginnings of the ACE™ Bandage and some of the first packaging designs.
