Belinda Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Somehow, not quite sure how, I ordered 200 one cavity clamshells from ICS instead of the 6 cavity. I have no idea what people use them for and they have a no return policy. Any ideas as to what I can do with them?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pita4294 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Umm, maybe not fill them all the way stick some different scented little embed hearts or something in there and call them sliceable melts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You can use them for soap. I package some of my MP soaps that way. Customers can see it, open the clamshell to smell the soap, without actually handling it.Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thanks to both of you! I like both ideas.This is probably a dumb question but, do you pour the soap in the clamshell or pour it into a mold and then use the clamshell as the package? I haven't made soap yet but hopefully one day I'll be able to do that.Thanks again to both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prevent warping.Easy PeasyDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yes-- I've used them before with M&P. You just have to remember to pour a little cool. They make great soap packaging. Just slap a label on the top and they are ready to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks everyone!The vendor is going to let me return them but now I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should keep them and try my hand at soap! Not another addiction! LOL!I'm just curious, is homemade soap a good seller and what is a fair price for soap you would get in these shells? Not trying to be nosey, I've just never bought soap from a vendor.Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
