MEMPHIS , TN , July 20, 1999 – American Paper Optics announces
the introduction of MILLENIUM SPECS, the latest 3D paper glasses
product into the retail arena. Millennium Specs 3D Glasses
are activated while the wearer is viewing city lights, fireworks,
streetlights, or holiday lights—especially at night. The
patented holographic lenses displays the year “2000” encircling
each bright point of light.
John Jerit, owner of American Paper Optics and 3D aficionado,
is the creator behind the innovative new product designed exclusively
for the millennium. The glasses, colorfully printed in two commemorative
themes, are expected to sell briskly for New Year’s celebrations,
fireworks displays, parties and as souvenirs of the third millenium.
The entrepreneur has targeted a diverse retail market for the
limited edition Millenium Specs glasses that include souvenir,
novelty, toy, and gift shops.
Jerit introduced a retail phenomenon into the mainstream marketplace
with Holiday Specs—3D Christmas Glasses and Happy Eyes—All
Occasion 3D Glasses. Sales of these products have proven brisk
with more than 3 million sold at retail since their introduction
in 1995.
Jerit’s 3D “vision” has changed the way millions
of people view the world--one pair of 3D glasses at a time. Since
1990, American Paper Optics has become the world’s leading
supplier of paper 3D glasses. With entrepreneurial fervor, Jerit
transformed a disposable, paper novelty business into a 3D-eyeglass
empire with revenues jumping from $125,000 in 1990 to sales in
excess of 5 million dollars in 1998.
Jerit and his staff have produced over 250 million paper eyeglasses
for 3D-oriented promotions, children’s events and retail
sale. These glasses are sold all over the world—shipped
directly from a 9600 sq. ft. manufacturing facility just outside
of Memphis, TN.
American Paper Optics received national notoriety in 1991 as
manufacturer of 11 million 3D glasses for the Nightmare on
Elm Street sequel, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare.
Jerit soon followed up by producing 8 million glasses for a television
promotion of Fox’s Married with Children and Revenge
of the Nerds IV.
More recently, American Paper Optics provided the U.S. Postal
Service with over 2 million 3D glasses for its successful “Hollywood
Monsters” promotion in Stampers magazine. In 1998,
Jerit and American Paper Optics produced over 20 million 3D glasses
for international distribution in National Geographic magazine
which featured Mars Pathfinder and Titanic 3D images.
