Trappeur Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Finally finished after futzing around for 2 days of how to make melts and what packaging to do. Here they are. A 16oz tin holds about 50 melts. The melts weigh 5 1/2oz. Cost for tin and 2 labels is $1.27 If you charge for the melts by weight what should be the WHOLESALE PRICE? So what would you think be a good RETAIL PRICE? An 8oz tin costs with 2 labels 1.00. The melts weigh 3 1/2oz. The tin holds about 35 melts. So what would be a good RETAIL PRICE On the labels I will have to add what these things are. What do you think I should name them? Wax melts? Now I could go back and change out the weight on the tins and make the 16oz hold 5 oz and the 8oz tin I could weigh out to 3oz. Trappeur.......................

Trappeur Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I redid my Mercier Orchards label and named them wax melts. Then I added the weight amount on the label. Do I need to add anything else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintguru Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That's a clever idea! I was wondering how to package my melts in the future, and this would allow me to use what I have on hand already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 What did you come up with for prices? These are so unique. Great for gifts, stocking stuffers. GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Ok my cost for an 8oz tin is 1.75 - so I am selling "wholesale" for 4.00 thus making the retail 9.99 Cost for a 16oz tin is 2.50 - so I am selling "wholesale" for 6.00 thus making the retail 11.99 I know my markup might be a lot for these you all are thinking, but I know my market at Merciers and they will sell.

Net weight in ounces AND grams according to US labeling laws I hear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
