Case Studies
4.1 - Mass-Produced Promotional Pens Made in the US
Product Details -This project was a blast. We asked social media people if anyone could find a promotional pen that was made in the USA and out of the thousands of people looking for pens, no one found one that was newer than 15 years. Bringing promotional products back to the USA again is awesome to see. We are even adding customers logos in 3D to the pens.

4.2 - Bobby Dodd Trophy for Georgia Peach Bowl
Product Details -The Bobby Dodd Trophy is given out to coaches at the chick-fil-A Georgia peach bowl. We were given the statue and we made some adjustments to the trophy as per the customers requirements.
