So mean while I am trying to get ahead of things and design the package.. I plan on giving soaps for Christmas...and get "family feedback" lol Anyway....I was wondering if the bars have to be wrapped? or can they just be out in the open air? will the scent fade? I really like the look of the cigar bands and wonder if there is a template some where to print your own? Any help would be great.
