Today, his company is one of the major display and packaging suppliers in the jewelry industry.  Jim extensively discusses his revolutionary magnetic displays that can not only make life easier for your staff when entertaining customers but can also help lessen setup and tear-down times from 10 minutes each to about 40 seconds each time.   Jim also shows his innovative jewelry packaging which gives more value to jewelry while helping jewelry store owners make sure they never run out of packaging.
