A sweet gift, beautifully presented

Decorative jars with custom labels for a sweet treat

Give a small gift a personal touch with inspirational ideas from edding. With a snazzy band or label, a simple jar is easily transformed into a pretty sweet container that makes a great gift for any occasion. All you need to make your own labels is the help of the highly flexible edding brushpen 1340. From an almost pinpoint thin line to a broad brushstroke, the edding 1340 brushpen is as versatile as it is durable. The nib is soft yet rigid which prevents it from fraying, while the flexible brush nib pen makes labelling light-coloured paper and cardboard a pleasure.

Use hand lettered labels – either square or round – to decorate bottles, tea tins or glass jars in one of 10 fresh colours. With practice you can even experiment with different font effects. The combination of wide and narrow brushstrokes makes for ornate lettering, regardless of whether you're making wine labels or decorative gift tags.
