Nice!  Love those little hearts.  Not sure on pkg, a clear bag would show it off the best but might get wax messy in no time.  Bakery bags I love but they may not show enough of the pretty.

I'd almost look for a clear box like you'd get a take out pie slice in.  Restaurant suppliers would have them.

Thank you! You know that thought crossed my mind! They even have cardboard ones with windows on top? I'm going to have to play around with them for sure!

Also If you go with the Cello bags make sure they are made of polypropylene so they don't suck the scent out of the melt.

Thank you  I have some on hand right now.

How about little cello bags that the candied apples come in? Throw a cardboard disc into the bottom and plunk-scrunch-put-a-bow-on-it DONE!

That would look cute! I have to look into that.Will it hold the scent in well? The packaging is for shipping only,no store displays but I still wanted them to be cute!:)

I LOVE those! Is it wax or soap? I'm with GoldieMN, it doesn't matter how you package them but I love bakery bags myself. I use them for my bakery shaped tarts.

Thank you so much! These are wax only! I do love bakery bags too!

Not sure how I missed this thread....

 

copyright and trademark are different. If someone is claiming copyright, it is generally geared toward literary works like videos, books, etc. trademark protects business assets that define the brand, such as logos, names, etc.

 

Companies like Lush trademark the fragrance names, and defend them vigorously. Some makers get around that using the word "Type" after the name and the TM. Why tempt fate and borrow trouble? When you can, definitely change names to protect yourself, and to help define your own brand .

 

It is not easy to trademark common names or terms, so if you do go that route really research anyone and everyone that might be using it in your business category before applying. The application process is not cheap, and if it is found to be untrademarkable that application money is down the drain. 

 

If you can afford to do so, I would trademark the company logo and name. 

 

As for logo design, I just went through this for the umpteenth time. It took a lot of thought to figure out who I am at this point in my venture, and to capture that in my new logo. I sketched about a thousand versions, then one jumped out at me. It was a mistake, actually, but it resonated with me and my business partners. It tells MY story. 

 

And finally labels... if you are skilled at desktop publishing, you will be ahead of the game. I use the Microsoft suite of office products to run my business. I combine access and PowerPoint to create the types of labels for all of my products. There's nothing wrong with any program you choose so long as you can make labels without tearing your hair out.

 

HTH, TT

It's okay:) Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with all your helpful info!:) 

I've been playing around with these...how would some of you package these? Bakery bag with a window so you can see the tops through the bag? Pictures aren't the best sorry didn't use my camera:) 

So I've noticed businesses claiming they have copyrighted the scent names of their products...is that a smart thing to do? How do you go about that and does that mean no one else is allowed to use that specific name?How do I look up this up to avoid causing issues with other local vendors? 

Also what do you guys suggest for designing your own logo?If it's made on a build your own site or app is it ok to use or should it be trademarked...and best label making process (a way to be able to edit different scent names). Sorry for the newbie questions:) 

I finally found my formula after months of testing but I am always open to suggestions! I use the illumination warmers! They are 25 watts and I feel they work the best.  Honestly I will never use another warmer,if I do not get a great hot throw with them then, i feel like the wax/FO  is not up to par...the electric hot plates have a good throw for about half a hour and get too hot and dissipate the frangrance too fast.With the 25 watt my smell with last for days and that is with turning it off at night. Illumination warmers are the best for my parasoy blend.

Thank you!

What are the top wax blends for melts? I know this question could have so many answers and it can be different results for each person but I'm kinda looking for a place to begin...I love soy and the look of it so I would rather use a parasoy blend...tried a all soy blend with terrible results unfortunately :/ Pretty bummed about it. Does anyone use vybar? Will that help my results with a all soy blend or parasoy blend..

So my glass thermometer shattered tonight:/ What type does everyone else use for wax?  Ordering one later tonight:!
