Neli1980 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi everyone! Newbie question: does anyone know if kraft paper sucks the scent out of wax melts? I'm new to wax melts and would like to offer melt samples. I was thinking of individually wrapping them in kraft paper. TIA! Neli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I would opt for small polypropylene zip top bags. In thinking of it, what do we sit greasy baked items or things like bacon on the absorb oil? Paper towels! I like my items to be air sealed. I order polypropylene bags by the thousands and in multiple sizes but intheclear on Etsy and others sell smaller quantities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neli1980 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hmmm.... now that you put it that way, makes sense! I've been giving melts and candles to some of my co-workers so they could test for me. One of them recently asked me to make her a sampler pack because she didn't want to commit to one whole clamshell. I was trying to come up with a way of separating each cube so then I could put them in a bag.... and be cute at the same time haha. I checked out intheclear on Etsy and wow she has a lot of different options! Thanks Karen, I really appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Why don't you just pour them in portion cups. They have a cap as well so after they cool well just put the cap on + label. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neli1980 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Moonstar, I have some of those too. I just ordered a small quantity from Maple Street Candle and haven't gotten around to pouring them yet! Do you offer those? Have you found that customers like those better versus clamshells, mold pieces, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Its hard to say . I use them for samples. Maybe you could pour in clamshells and portion cups + include a portion cup with a clamshell purchase as a gift sample ? Or maybe try selling 3 portion cups for x amount. Did you see the individual clamshell at Maple Street - I really like those, I might try out a small pack to see how I like them first.

kandlekrazy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I bought the tiny bags at Uline and stapled the top shut and put a tiny scent sticker on them or stapled my business card to the back, they worked well both at fairs and in the store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neli1980 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Moonstar, yes I saw those too...they're so cute. I keep forgetting to order some though. I have some bags coming in soon - I think I'm going to try using those as my samplers and add a sticker or business card like kandlekrazy mentioned above. Thanks guys!!!
