Squishmallows Mania Sweeps the Nation – And ARCTEC Solutions LLC is Helping Bring the Comfort!

STERLING, VA – November 8, 2023 – You’ve probably seen them – those ridiculously soft, unbelievably huggable plush toys popping up everywhere. We’re talking about Squishmallows, and they’re not just a fad – they’re a full-blown obsession! And right here in Sterling, Virginia, ARCTEC SOLUTIONS LLC is playing a key role in getting these cuddly companions into the hands of fans across the country. So, what are Squishmallows? Well, imagine the softest cloud you've ever felt, shaped like an adorable animal, a cute food item, or even a fantastical character. That’s basically a Squishmallow. Created by Kellytoy (now part of Jazwares), these plush toys are known for their super-soft, marshmallow-like texture and their collectibility. They come in tons of different characters, each with its own unique personality and backstory. But what really sets Squishmallows apart? It’s the reversible design of many of them! That’s right, some Squishmallows are double-sided, meaning you can flip them inside out to reveal a completely different character. It's like getting two plushies for the price of one! Kids (and let’s be honest, adults!) are loving this feature. It adds to the fun and collectibility – and provides extra snuggle options. ARCTEC Solutions LLC: The Logistics Powerhouse Behind the Squishmallow Surge ARCTEC SOLUTIONS LLC, located at 44225 MERCURE CIR, SUITE 110, STERLING, VA, 20166-2052, is a full-service third-party logistics (3PL) provider.
