Reviving the Mecrikko Finger Caps
Plus Corporation, under the leadership of President Tadahisa Imaizumi, is set to reintroduce the beloved Mecrikko finger caps, known for their soft touch and stylish colors. After nearly two decades of popularity, the new version will be called
Mecrikko (Silicone Type) and will be available on January 1, 2026, featuring refreshed colors aimed at everyone.
Originally launched in 2003, the previous version of Mecrikko Color was discontinued in 2022 due to rising material costs. However, numerous customer inquiries expressing sentimentality for the product and a desire for its return prompted Plus Corporation to revise the color palette and packaging to make it more user-friendly. This decision affirms their commitment to responding to every customer voice — a testament to the product's legacy.
Finger caps, like Mecrikko, are essential for administrative roles such as accounting, HR, and various management functions. They are particularly favored for their unique ring design that eliminates many issues common with traditional finger caps, such as discomfort, unpleasant odors, and lack of style. This meticulous attention to comfort and function has earned the Mecrikko series a loyal following.
