BARTLETT, TN–(Marketwire – January 29, 2010) – American Paper Optics, LLC, along with Target and Sony, has joined together with CBS to create a first-of-its kind, 3Devent for the 52nd Grammy Awards on January 31st. Over 14 million 3D glasses will be distributed to the public in what is being called the first 3D tribute in history. Manufactured exclusively by American Paper Optics, the specialized 3D glasses will be used to watch the music video for Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song.” A portion of this song has been viewed by audiences, but never the full video and never in 3D,promising to be an emotional highlight of this year’s show.

CEO and founder,John Jerit, was even surprised at the quick turnaround by his production team. “I thought I’d seen it all with the 130 million 3D glasses we did forthe Super Bowl in 90 days last year, but finishing 14 million glasses in 21days is a manufacturing record for us.”
