MichelleOH Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't know if I want to package my soap or not. I'm afraid if I don't my soaps will get "beat up" at shows. I already know I don't want to use boxes. And I'm not crazy how my soap looks shrink wrapped. For those that sell their soap "naked" do the get beat up or damaged? I plan on having a sample bar out for people to smell. Tell me what I should do?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Have you tried or thought about the shrink wrap bands? The ends are still open so they can pick them up and smell them without any damaged to your soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I've never found they get beat up that much. Maybe go with a regular cigar band? This site always gave me good ideas for soap packaging.http://www.pvsoap.com/how_to_wrap_soap.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebcandles Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I use to sell them in a box with a clear lid and a gold stretch bow. That got tiring really really fast! I've tried the cigar bands, they got dirty easily. Then I tried all naked bars in baskets. Well it became really difficult to put the bars in packaging and label the packaging when the customer had their money in their hands - especially if they were buying 6 bars.So what i did was put them in the oval cut boxes and a label on the back. Then, I had one bar in front - naked. The customer can see/smell the naked bar and then can pull up to 4 of the same scent in the basket.HTH,Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am a naked bar girl. I did it just this way for our market. Eco-friendly, no waste in packaging, they use the soap and do not buy it because it has "pretty" wrapping on it.When I really started marketing my business a couple of years ago I would wrap in fabric and then make a cigar band. I spent more time wrapping then making soap. Too time consuming.I have a lot more repeat customers now because they are actually using the soap and not leaving it wrapped because it looks nice. I am having custom boxes made for Christmas to place a bar in if customers are purchasing for gifts. I needed something that will look nice but not take hours and hours out of my soap-making time.I think that it is personal perference for most and depending on the image that you want for your business.HTH.
