Introducing the Genesis Collection

Its teams went back to the drawing board to design a new collection that was sustainable from the roots to the tips. And the result from this multi-disciplinary team is nothing short of spectacular.

What makes Genesis eco-friendly?

Quality is in its DNA, which is why Bufkor has searched for high-quality sustainable materials that will not only meet the changing needs of your customers, but also capture your brand’s true essence.

For this collection it starts by building its boxes out of FSC certified chipboard. The interior pads are covered with a fabric made out of recycled plastic bottles that are fished out of the sea, and then upcycled to a luxurious velvet with a soft touch! This fabric contains 100% post-consumer waste PET- Bottles. The recycling of post-consumer waste into a long-lasting product is an enormous contribution to help reduce waste that goes into landfills or into our oceans and end up hurting the marine world.

Its box’s exterior is wrapped in a 100% Organic, plastic-free, colored coating on an FSC certified kraft base. This coating contains zero petroleum-based compounds, hazardous chemicals, and solvents and only uses natural, organic compounds. FSC Certified – Meets EU Reach, RoHS, CPSIA, EN71, and TSCA Requirements Recyclable – Repulpable – Plastic Free.

At Bufkor, its here to help your brand make the shift into sustainable packaging with its new Genesis Collection.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
