This is some really good stuff. Good enough to print off in color and put in a binder. How do you find all this info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Some kind people on other forums, the years at B school, and pros in the industry at trade shows helped with the lingo and legal terms to search for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does a candle or melt have to show the weight? They aren't technically sold by weight, are they? It seems that they price is for the finished product regardless of the weight. Just wondering...............I'm sure someone has this answer all ready to go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 What other unit of measure would give the consumer the information needed to decide if the item were as described? By “the candle” could be a jar with 1 oz of wax or 100. we buy our wax by the lb. fragrances from the lab are by the lb, (later rebottled by retailers as fluid ounces with specific gravity info provided to calculate actual costs, etc. ) cereal is by the oz. meat by the lb. lip balm is by the oz/gram 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
