CountryGal Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 How did you decide what to use to package your B&B stuff? I am having the hardest time with this. I mean the butters and the lotions are pretty easy, but the salts and the soaps and the melts. How do you package those???? I would really appreciate some suggestions.

CareBear Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 My salts right now are in canning jars. The melts I'm challenged on too. Soaps are not up my alley, but I've seen some beautiful craft-paper wrapped ones with the cigar-band that I just love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith_D Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Have you looked around the B & B gallery? I don't do B & B myself, but I enjoy checking out other people's creations. You could get some great ideas or inspiration there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I use the little candy bags for suckers you get at the craft store..like Joanns or Pat Catans..they are small and hold 6oz of salts or milk bath very nicely..you can see them on my website if you want to look..They are also sturdy enough to put bath bombs or melts in and staple a header on the top.http://www.pampermecollections.net/page/page/1088860.htmplus they are dirt cheap I think I pay like $1.99 or something for 100 at Pat Catans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'm not surprised you had a hard time with this. I had to go round and round for a long time trying to get this figured out. Even butters and lotions weren't easy, because not only did I have to decide which container shape and color but also which size. You may end up going through more than one type of packaging before you are able to find out what works and what doesn't (I know I did), so don't buy too large a quantity to start with.

I would suggest buying 1 piece of a few types you like..and then print out your labels, apply them and see which one you like best BEFORE you buy in bulk.
