Johnson Plastics was honored with the “Best Showcase” award at the 2010 ARA Show in Las Vegas in early March.

The award-winning Johnson Plastics showcase featured the company’s new products for sublimation including flip-flops, white stainless steel travel mug, water bottle, wallets, sunglass case, even a sublimatable throw, in a summery, attention-getting beach scene.

The award was based on the “total utilization of the entire space, any special effects that may have been used, over-all eye-catching appearance and colors used,” according to Richard Schaefer, chairman of the ARA Awards Committee and one of the supplier showcase judges. “What made the Johnson Plastics showcase stand out was that it was very colorful and bright and pleasant to look at,” he added, pointing out that they used the entire display case: back, side walls and bottom.

“The showcase gave us a wonderful opportunity to show off our exciting new sublimatable products just in time for the summer season,” said Margaret Johnson. “Winning the award was the icing on the cake.”
