Alajane Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 This might should be in the gallery, but I need help packaging this soap!! Normally I wrap my plain bars of MP soap in Sam's clear wrap, put the ingredients label over the ugly back, then put a band of pretty paper around it, seal it with my scent label, and tie it with a ribbon. But this soap is such a pretty design that I don't want to cover it with a paper band. The only thing I can think of is to make a round label with my logo, the scent, and the ingredients and put all that over the ugly back of the wrap. My problem with that is that I don't have any large round labels (the only size I have is 2-inches and I don't think that will be large enough for all that) and I want to use these in an open house this weekend. Any suggestions?Edited to say: Omigosh!!! Somebody please tell me how to make my pictures smaller!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 they make full label sheets that you can print any size you wantbut you would have to cut them out.HTHBTW - you soap looks beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What about putting it in a cello bag & the label could be a bag topper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have what I think might be the perfect solution for you. If you use a cello bag, tie it closed with a satin ribbon and lace a cardstock tag through it. You can place your label on the tag, which will flop to the side hopefully, and not hide the lovely soap. Or, you might make it even more glamorous and make the cardstock fold in half so that it looks like a miniature card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Since you already tie ribbon on your other bars, I think sockmonkey's idea sounds like a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I didn't think about putting them in a bag because I learned the hard way that the soap has to be wrapped tightly!! (I tried putting some MP soaps directly into a cello bag and they got yucky!) So do you think it will look okay wrapped in stretchy wrap and then inside a bag? I could still put my scent label on back to cover the wrap closure.Thanks for the ideas--I have the bags and ribbon on hand, and may even have some hang tags already made for MP soap--not sure about that one, but if not, I can whip those out quickly!Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I personally don't think they would look bad wrapped first and then placed in the bag. Oftentimes many products are double-packaged like that. Give it a try and see what it looks like. You may be surprised! Post pics when you get it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'll try it tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
