American Paper Optics holds totality of eclipse glasses market

The US’s largest producer of eclipse glasses is in the path of totality this year (well, 98%). But Memphis-based American Paper Optics is far from afraid of the dark: the glasses-maker sees its revenue 5X in an eclipse year, with the bulk of its sales coming from big orgs like NASA.

APC also churns out online orders and set up a pop-up shop this year. North America won’t have its next total eclipse until 2044, but don’t worry too much about APC: its main business is 3D glasses.
