LUCITE

Desktop monuments to completed transactions took off during the hyperbolic, chest-beating world of 1980's Wall Street deal making. But they actually got their start in the early 1970’s when Burnham & Co. marked its acquisition of Drexel Firestone with a set of brass balls embedded in Lucite. Foregoing logos or text, they created an infamous display of braggadocio to say the deal is done, and we won.

Today the deal toy is more likely to be a symbol of completing a transaction in which everyone's a winner, but Lucite remains the favored medium for many deal-makers. Embedding announcements, logos and objects is popular as a durable and lasting symbol of achievement.

At Polaris, our expert craftsmen have been custom embedding objects in small batch, cell cast acrylic for decades. We help companies find innovative ways to showcase deal components in memorable ways - medical vials embedded for pharmaceutical deals and miniature replicas for food and beverage deals, just to name a few examples.

No one knows more about Lucite than we do. When you work with Polaris, you’ll benefit from our wealth of wisdom and experience.
