Comments: The 3-D photography provided the opportunity to bring excitement to replacement faces, and at the same time, make full use of an existing P-O-P element. Backlighting extends the depth of field and enhances the sharpness of the image, which is often lost in other 3-D processes.

Client: Martlett Importing Co.
Producer: P.O.P. Displays Inc.
Category: Thermo-formed Plastics: Sign
Comments: These signs are manufactured from a variety of materials and processes, including vacuum forming, lithography, silkscreening and hot stamping. They have the look of injection molding at the cost of vacuum forming.

Client: Zima Beverage Co.
Producer: KCS Industries Inc.
Category: Fabricated Plastics: Sign
Comments: The combined use of backlit clear acrylic and reflective acrylic parallel the uniqueness of the product. The reflective properties of the acrylic denote the product's clean, light taste.

Client: Anheuser-Busch Inc.
Producer: Lakeside Ltd.
Category: Fabricated Plastics: Fixture
Comments: With only six weeks to produce 3,000 units, the production schedule didn't provide sufficient time to create new tooling. What normally would have been injection molded or roto-casted was hand fabricated. Sheet plastic was cut and heat formed in the dimensions of a ski tip.
