ARCLIN SURFACES Brings Starbucks "You Are Here" Collection to Life with Stunning Surface Solutions

ARCLIN SURFACES LLC, a leading provider of custom surface materials based in Tacoma, Washington, is excited to showcase how our innovative products are being used to elevate the aesthetic of Starbucks’ iconic “You Are Here” collection displays. Located at 2144 Milwaukee Wy, Tacoma, WA, 98421, and reachable at 770-604-1293, we specialize in bringing design visions to reality with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship. For Starbucks, creating a welcoming and visually appealing atmosphere is key, and the "You Are Here" collection – featuring mugs, collectibles, and displays highlighting locations around the globe – is a cornerstone of that experience. But displaying these delicate items beautifully, and keeping them safe is a real challenge. That’s where ARCLIN SURFACES comes in. Beyond Just Displays: Crafting the Starbucks Experience ARCLIN SURFACES isn't just supplying materials; we’re helping Starbucks craft an experience. The “You Are Here” collection isn't simply about selling mugs; it's about evoking a sense of place, of travel, and of connection. The displays need to reflect that. Traditionally, these displays relied on a lot of wood, metal, and sometimes acrylic. While these materials can work, they often feel a little…stiff. They don’t always complement the vibrancy and detail of the mugs themselves. Plus, they can be heavy and expensive to ship. And honestly, let's be real - they're prone to scratches and dents. Starbucks partnered with us because they wanted something different. They wanted displays that felt more modern, more refined, and more in line with their overall brand aesthetic. They needed something durable, lightweight, and that really made the mugs pop. And they wanted it to be scalable – able to be rolled out to thousands of stores worldwide. Introducing ARCLIN’s Solutions: Acrylic & Beyond We delivered with a combination of custom acrylic fabrication and innovative material choices. Here's a breakdown of what we're providing: Crystal Clear Acrylic Shelving: Forget dull, bulky wood shelves. We create shelving units from incredibly clear acrylic. This allows the mugs to be the stars of the show, providing unobstructed views and maximizing visual impact. The acrylic is UV-resistant, meaning it won’t yellow or fade over time, even with exposure to bright store lighting. Lightweight & Durable Construction: Acrylic is significantly lighter than wood or metal, which drastically reduces shipping costs and makes installation easier for store staff. But don’t let the lightness fool you; our acrylic is incredibly strong and impact-resistant, meaning it can withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy Starbucks location. We use high-quality, cast acrylic, which is far superior to extruded acrylic in terms of clarity, durability, and ease of fabrication. Custom Engraving & Branding: We don’t just create shelves; we create branded experiences. Our laser engraving capabilities allow us to precisely etch Starbucks logos, location names, or other custom designs directly onto the acrylic, adding a touch of sophistication and reinforcing brand identity. We can even incorporate LED lighting into the engravings for a stunning effect. Modular Display Systems: Starbucks stores come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why we developed a modular display system that can be easily customized to fit any space. The system consists of interlocking acrylic components that can be arranged in a variety of configurations, allowing Starbucks to create unique and eye-catching displays in every location. Protective Acrylic Cases: Some particularly valuable or delicate “You Are Here” collectibles require extra protection. We manufacture custom acrylic cases specifically designed to safeguard these items from damage while still allowing customers to view them. These cases are incredibly clear and offer excellent visibility, ensuring that the collectibles remain a focal point of the display. Beyond “You Are Here”: ARCLIN’s Capabilities While the Starbucks “You Are Here” project is a prime example of our capabilities, ARCLIN SURFACES offers a wide range of custom fabrication and material solutions for a variety of industries. We work with acrylic, polycarbonate, PETG, and other plastics to create everything from point-of-purchase displays and retail fixtures to signage, protective barriers, and custom packaging.
