anyone want to share ideas on packaging soap?


Recommended Posts

I make wool wash for washing woolens, and the customer base for that is primarly people who use cloth diapers. So, I've wrapped all of those bars in a cloth wipe - better for the Earth and actually useful :) I like the way it looks too....I'll post a pic if I can ever get Photoshop to open on my terrible computer lol

What I'm lost with is the body soap. I just can't come up with any ideas. I've got Dans Bands from MMS, cardstock, corrugated paper (a LOT), twine, etc. I can do laser printing on clear labels (what most of my labels are), but that won't work on dark soaps. I think the look I'm going for is natural, but elegant...not rustic/quirky/trendy (if that makes any sense lol). The bars are typically 1" thick, 3.5" wide x 2.5" tall.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not terribly fond of soap boxes, but I'll look into them :)

I like the look of standing up your bars the tall way and putting a wrap just on the bottom using a cigar band & seal the two ends with a round sticker. What if your sticker was your wooly seal & the label wrapped around it just kept repeating the fragrance in larger spaced letters.

Does that make any sense?

The link I posted above is not my site, just a site for ideas.

those are very creative ideas, does anyone know where I can get those soap holding sponges on # 14? I don't see them on their website.

These sites do not have exact but close http://www.lilygulchsoaps.com/index.php?id=accessories

I prefer no wrap at all. I do put a small address label on the BACK of my soaps, with website, ingredients and scent. I love the look of unwrapped, unlabeled soap. I have displays that have an area by each scent that is labeled, so customers know what's what.

HTH,
