What Kind of Wrapping?

[Luanne]

I hope this picture posted. I got into the Management Attachments area, but don't know if I did the right thing to get into this post.

My question is does anybody know what type of paper this soap is wrapped in? I really would like to get some.

Thanks.

almost looks like wax or freezer paper

I'm thinking butchers paper.

maybe parchment? I've never seen butchers.

Looks a little too transparent to be butchers paper. I'm thinking freezer paper? Freezer paper is only waxed on one side, so that would be how the label would stick. Hmm... It IS pretty, though.

It's also too translucent for freezer paper, at least what I have. You can't see through that at all. Looks more like my parchment paper.

Looks like glassine to me.

Thanks everybody. I was thinking maybe parchment. I'll have to look into Glassine and see if I can get a sample. I like the look of it too.

If you find out let us know. Thats a really pretty wrap for soap. My concern would be if its oil/grease proof-- like the kind of wrap you use for food, sandwiches, baked goods, deli's, etc. Glasine can be used for that.

Here's some sandwich/bakery wrap paper from Uline:

You have to click on the product code for either the Bakery or Deli paper. The larger size is Deli paper and that looks very much like the wrap thats being used on the soap.

I'm going to try getting to their shop to look around. Maybe they'll tell me if I ask innocently. I'll keep everybody posted.

It looks like the same stuff I use, which happens to be French-fry bags (which is made from glassine paper, I believe). I buy them in bulk at my local Smart & Final (can't go wrong with a box of 2,000 for $14.00). I used to use the bags 'as-is'- i.e., I'd just plop a bar in each bag, fold over the top, punch 2 holes though the fold and thread some ribbon through the holes to complete the seal, but nowadays I just like to slice the bags open and cut them into rectangles and wrap my soap up present-style.

ETA- it could also be white tissue paper- the kind used in gift-wrapping. I myself use white tissue paper to wrap my round saving soaps. Nothing works as well for me as tissue paper when it comes to wrapping round soaps. I bought a huge package of it at Costco last Christmas down the wrapping-paper aisle and I'm no where near running out of it yet.

The light bulb just went on over my head!! I remembered I had a couple bars of their soap I had hidden away. The paper feels slightly heavier than regular tissue paper. I'm leaning towards parchment. I will see what I can find out and report back.

I found out what kind of wrapping this is. It's deli paper from Bagcraft.

[Candybee]

Thats the same paper that Uline sells. So now you have another source.

[Luanne]

I'll have to check Uline out. I saw the box on the front counter of their shop and asked them. It's the red box now called Marketplace under interfolded on Bagcrafts site.
