A New, Fresh Look for MMC
Millennium Marking co. is pleased to introduce a new corporate identity/logo. The company's Craig Petersen states, "It seems that more and more we are called MMC or Double-M, C—so it seemed appropriate to make such a change. The design is also intended to give us a more modern and fresh look. Our tag lines of 'Marking in the 21st Century' and 'Exclusively for the Rubber Stamp Manufacturer' remain unchanged."

Mini Ads for Shiny Products
Shiny USA is pleased to introduce 10 different mini ads that cover the entire line of Shiny products. These miniature ads are designed to accompany any item a rubber stamp manufacturer now sells. Unlike statement stuffers (these can be used in the same fashion), mini ads are perfect to insert in the box of a self-inking stamp or seal press. (Sell a seal and place a mini ad for a self-inking stamp inside the box or the reverse.)
Shiny provides up to 1,000 mini ads per month for each customer. These mini ads are printed digitally and can be further customized, and the manufacturer's name or customer's name is printed on each ad.
