StacysScentsations(DH) Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hi all I just made the first of our waxmelts. What I was wondering is if anyone packaged them like I did. I used aluminum foil cupcake wrappers and poured 1 oz of wax in each (about halfway full) Then I placed in freezer for about 10 minutes. This caused the wax to shrink up a little and pull away from the cupcake wrapper. I think to long and they will become brittle and crack. Then after they were at room tempature I sliced downward several times around the cup (this helped fragrance escape) now for the labeling I used hi gloss photo paper for the labels I made and cut the circles out. This worked out better for me then a sticker because when you fold the top of the wrapper over it doesnt cover the entire cup. I then put a very thin line of hotglue around the label and stuck it on top of the cup pressing around the edges. it doesnt matter to me if it stuck all the was because it will let a little of the smell out. The other thing I like about packaging like this is when you pull the label off the top it rips the foil cup so nobody will try to leave it in there. Overall I kind of like them for my first try and wanted to thank you all for all the info here. Please let me know what you think and if you think this method of packaging would be ok. I was thinking I could shrink wrap 3 together and just put a drop of scent on the wrap or some smell holes in it.And the labels do look etter than what I had to downsize them to for this websites requirements. look here http://www.stacysscentsations.com/images/closeup.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StacysScentsations(DH) Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 whatever a cupcake pan is if you do one ounce it is halfway and fits in my warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I was asking because the shape and ruffled edges reminds me of a chocolate mold. In one of those it would come out similar but perfect, and then there's the very thin metal foil they use for wrapping chocolates. It would be beautiful with that awesome label but I don't suppose you'd want to complicate the production. This seems very efficient.

StacysScentsations(DH) Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 these are made in a foil cupcake wrapper filled about half way then folded over. They look like silver peanut butter cups. My wife just bought some new scents in the classifieds section so I will make more labels.Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberlei Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 They look great and I really love the idea. Just have to point out that medley isn't spelled properly on them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 that is a great idea. I have been toying on how to package them. I am not good at shrink wrapping yet. This really sounds good and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 ...it sounds like a lot of trouble, but ends up great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Love the labels (yep, Medley )!! I'm curious though, what you meant by this: after they were at room tempature I sliced downward several times around the cup (this helped fragrance escape) I'm having a hard time "visualizing" what you did here?? Otherwise, I have made wax tarts in the smaller paper cups, and I think they are sooo cute, so I'm sure the bigger ones are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
