Lucite Cubes

Lucite Cubes
With Miniature Items Embedded

Photos of Cube with Prospectus Embedded
Various Types of Lucite Shapes and Embedments

FREE Beveled Edges, applied automatically! Beveled edges enhance almost every Lucite configuration. Understandably, customers hesitate to pay extra for a feature which is hard to convey with a photo and which they've never seen on other Lucites. Wanting our deal toys to be the best in the world, we have decided to simply add the bevels for free. Almost never is a financial embedment so complicated or colorful that bevels would be "too much". On the rare occasion that this occurs, we will suggest eliminating the bevels.

Since Lucite cubes are totally transparent, the plastic takes on the color of the surrounding area. The depiction in the window shows a cube as it might look in front of a blue-green background, sitting on a blue-green carpet, or with a strong blue-green light shining through it. A miniaturized prospectus is embedded.

Many sizes and shapes are possible. We are showing only a few examples on this page.

We provide these as executive or closing gifts to the financial industry. The printing setup price generally makes it impractical to order only one or two. Allow 4 to 6 weeks after receipt of art for delivery.

  • A prospectus usually embeds well in a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 3" cube similar to the one pictured, above. These cubes are $27.00 in quantities of 6 - 24, $24.30 in quantities of 25 - 49. Booklet printing setup is $185 1-color, $265 2-color, $345 3-color. If the prospectus is rather plain, you may want to add beveled edges (at an additional $3 per cube) to dress it up.
  • A tombstone typically embeds well in a 3-3/4" x 4-3/4" x 1" rectangle. You probably want a black or colored background to bring out the printing. Including $5 per cube for the background, these rectangles are $32.90 in quantities of 6 - 24, $29.30 in quantities of 25 - 49. Flat printing setup is $140 1-color, 1-side; $200 1-color, 2-sides; $205, 2-color, 1-side; $275 2-color, 2-sides.
  • A stock certificate often embeds well in a 4-1/2" x 5-3/4" x 1-1/2" x 1" wedge. These are $40.95 in quantities of 6 - 24, $37.80 in quantities of 25 - 49. Certificate printing setup is $270 2-color 1-side, $345 2-color 1-side and 1-color on reverse side.

Some of the examples we show here have colored backs, cores or bottoms. Color can "dress up" an otherwise plain piece. Go to standard plex colors, here.

Logos or text in floating acetates can add a great effect to a piece. Depending on your artwork, it may possible to print the whole piece on acetate rather than on paper for an interesting effect at significantly lower cost! Also, we have about 1,000 metal castings which can be embedded to add additional character. See example with both metal castings and acetates.

Here are some more examples of the many Lucite items available. Diamond Awards ; Laser Engraving ; Embedments ; Great Shapes ; And More!
