ICN Beach Bash (Click to Expand)
At this years’ ICN summer event, the game was definitely ON at the volleyball court! Despite some wind, a few clouds and a “slight” downward slant of the volleyball net, everyone had a blast!
Take a look at this video demonstrating our volleyball skills. We may not be professionals but it’s pretty darn close 
"Thank You" note
As part of Inkcups Now ongoing community involvement we were pleased to donate some of our time and effort for the Appleton Farm’s Fundraiser Event, which took place in June ‘09 in Ipswich, MA. Please visit their website at www.thetrustees.org
“Appleton Farms” Laser etching on Hammers
We were approached by Mrs. Hoffman from Appleton Farms who came up with the idea of etching on hammers. She asked if we could do it in a way which would preserve the old fashion look of the hammers. That’s why we decided to simply engrave “Appleton Farms” on the wooden handle.
Next step was to put our innovative minds together to come up with the design and we used one of our CO2 lasers etcher to engrave the handle of the hammers. Supposedly it was the most popular item; all 50 hammers sold out in a matter of minutes!
NPE - World's Largest Plastics Showcase
Times are tough, we know, but here at Inkcups Now we are committed to staying positive and optimistic about the future of the economy and our industry.
The last trade show we participated in - International Plastic Showcase in Chicago, IL - was definitely an eye opener. There were quite a few people in disbelief about the future due to the growth recession. But even though the economic climate is getting tougher out there, we choose to stay ahead of the game and look forward by creating new opportunities and innovative ideas every day. The second half of 2009 has just started!

Letters from career day 2009
One of our indispensable sales managers, Paul Strunk was asked by his 11 year old daughter to come in for career day and talk about what he does for a living. Anyone who knows Paul also knows that he would never pass up an opportunity to crack a few jokes! He did however also have an agenda – encouraging young kids to stay in school and pursue a college degree.
Paul himself got his business degree while also serving in the Navy. After getting out he started working in sales and has been in this industry for the last thirteen years. Due to Paul’s endless sense of humor and slight sarcasms the kids seem to enjoyed his 10 minutes speech - he even got fan mail!
Super Bowl is here! (click to expand!)
This wonderfully decorated ping-pong ball and toilet seat cover was given to one of our customers as a Super Bowl present. He also happens to be the biggest Steelers fan E-V-E-R!
For the toilet seat cover we used the Mimaki UJF 605 II flatbed printer. By using a primer wipe before the cover was printed on, the resolution and graphics came out exceptionally clear. In fact, it is so good that even after a couple of beers, when everything else is blurry, the logo will still be crystal clear.
The Cardinal logo on the ping-pong ball was printed using the PromoJET Solvent flatbed printer. By using a fixture to hold the balls still we can fit up to 50 at a time. Perfect for Beer-Pong! Read more

The ICN Team (click to expand!)
The whole day was fun for everyone. Some people sat on the sidelines and ate food and drank beer and soda while others decided to participate in the competition. After a back-and-forth game, a few controversial calls along with a couple of hard collisions (both involved Pete), the red team pulled off an exciting come-back in the bottom of the ninth inning. The winning run came on an RBI double hit by, coincidentally, the president of the company, Ben Adner.
