10 Jones does Button Jam! Button Jam is a new product from Jones Buttons. It’s a box (that becomes a display itself), which holds 12 glass vases, each one in a different colour mix. A cool presentation that gives the effect of jam jars, but instead is filled with colourful buttons. The Button Jam vase is made of real glass and the cap is iron; the buttons inside are nylon, polyester, acrylic and sometimes there are some natural buttons in coconut or corozo. The gross weight of the box is 3.2kg. There are 12 colours inside the box: white mix, black mix, pink mix, red mix, green mix, blue mix, light blue mix, orange mix, yellow mix, lilac mix, brown mix and beige mix. Made in Italy, the packaging is totally re-usable; and once the buttons are taken out, the vase can be repurposed to contain anything you. Also the outside box becomes the display taking wastage down to zero. This eco-friendly characteristic is a major selling point.

Her input showcases the value of using WTTB’s bespoke products, particularly at key times of the year such as Christmas. Gary Peeling, CEO of WTTB, echoed Jane’s words about the importance of the unboxing experience. “Bespoke wrapping paper really helps someone’s brand stay front of mind,” he said. “It enhances the customer experience and makes a product memorable, for a fairly low cost. A personal touch helps build brand loyalty and can take an item – even an inexpensive one – to the next level. We’re delighted to be working with Jane and to showcase her skills which we believe will be absolutely invaluable to our customers.” For further information visit www.wttb.co.uk HarperCollins acquires Pavilion Books Company Following HarperCollins announcement on 29th October, 2021 of its intention to acquire Pavilion Books Company Limited the company can now confirm that the acquisition is now complete.
