To launch one of our very first new ranges—Crayola Kraft—with Tesco, will be a hugely proud moment for the whole team,” said Ben Cornwell, sales director for stationery, arts, and craft at Hunter Price International.

“We’ve been all over the world in recent months laying the foundations for the vision we’re bringing to life for our Crayola ranges and I truly believe we’re offering something different in this market. We’re now off the mark with this first launch and it’s full steam ahead with some huge announcements to follow very soon.”
