Mirro Products Co.
Uniroyal Tire
Comments: To provide an attention grabbing promotional vehicle, this display was designed to illustrate how the company's tires prevent flats. A puncture mechanism was designed to replicate what happens when driving over a nail. When the lever arm is depressed, it forces a hardened masonry nail through the tire casing. The sealant present inside the tire clings to the nail. When the nail is withdrawn, the sealant seals the puncture. To date, displays have been sent to 700 stores, 200 more than initially anticipated.

Innovative Marketing Solutions Inc.
Robert Bosch Corp.
Comments: This product from Bosch is considered among the finest spark plugs ever developed. It was critical, therefore, that consumers be made to understand the special technology behind it. This PETG display not only presents the product at the precise angle needed for proper viewing, but also holds a supply of literature. The display was the corner-stone of the company's marketing efforts, and sales exceeded forecasts.
