Sustainability in Focus ♻️ We're always on the lookout for ways to reduce waste. In Baltimore, we found a perfect reuse opportunity with our neighbor who uses the same size cores in their products as we do in our roll stock. While these cores are tough to recycle, they're now repurposed for scrap rolls, diverting thousands from the waste stream. #Sustainability #Reuse #WasteReduction #MercuryPlastics

Sustainability in Focus ♻️ Last October, Mercury Plastics proudly powered up a 382 kWh solar grid, covering every viable surface of our Baltimore facility. This significant step has allowed us to offset over 40% of our energy consumption with clean, renewable solar power. Our solar initiative is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental responsibility. By harnessing the power of the sun, we’re taking bold strides toward reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainable manufacturing practices. Join us on our journey to a greener future! 🌍 #Sustainability #SolarPower #GreenManufacturing #ReduceReuse #MercuryPlastics

Mercury Plastics had the pleasure of assisting a valued corrugated customer by creating a striking 60” distortion-formed printed pen crafted from black Hi-gloss styrene. The project featured a vibrant second-surface printed PETG rainbow base and header. To enhance the user experience, we also designed innovative “try-me” cubbies from black ABS, allowing end users to test the pens on writing pads. This project was such a hit that the program ran successfully for multiple years, with only minor graphic updates needed. We're proud to contribute to our customer's ongoing success with reliable and eye-catching solutions. #PoPDisplay #PlasticsManufacturing #ProductDesign #MercuryPlastics

At Mercury Plastics, we transform your in-store display visions into reality with precision and innovation. Watch our video to see our comprehensive process in action! 1️⃣ Conceptual Ideation: We start with your vision—computer renders, colors, and copy—turning your concepts into clear targets for printing. 2️⃣ Mercury Design Drawings: Your artwork assets and CAD files are converted into detailed “half-round” factices, scaled to the required frame size. We add draft and radius for thermoforming properties and send PDF drawings for your approval before moving to pattern milling for prototyping. 3️⃣ Teflon Line & Production Tooling: Our production tools are milled and Teflon lined to prevent ink rub-off during the forming process, ensuring the highest quality for your displays. 4️⃣ Flat Sheet Distortion Printing: We use 4CP flat sheet distortion printing onto plastic, strategically accounting for stretching to ensure perfect alignment on the finished part. See our precision in action as we queue up, print, and form the parts, resulting in stunning, distortion-printed displays. Ready to bring your display ideas to life? Let’s collaborate and create something amazing together! #InnovationInAction #DisplayDesign #Thermoforming #PrintTechnology #InStoreDisplays #MercuryPlastics
