Wick'n'Wax Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 to package 4 votives, side by side, rather than 2 with 2 on top?I think this is going to be the cheapest way of packaging them, rather than boxes. The acetate boxes seem a bit pricey in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candles by Lisa Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hi Yvette,Not too sure. I use small cello bags for tealights and I get 8 tealights in them side by side so you could probably get 4 votives side my side in them (I use the gusetted bags though). Just tape up any excess on the bottom and cover with a warning label. Hope this helps.Cheers.Lisa:grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishgirl Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 have seen them sold in 3'swill measure that bag for you but you could shrink wrap them unless your desperate to sell in 4's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anyone using the name "Yvette" for their user name within this thread anywhere. My user name is Cabin Creek Candles. I wouldn't want you to address me by my real name just because we may have conversed a few times via pm and you think by doing so we are now friends. That's absurd!

britishgirl Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 with regards to the above postmany of us within the uk actually chat to each other not only on here but via msn, email and some even by phone, so calling each other by our names isnt a problem to us and many of us are actually friends!i am sure that many of the other board members actually chat privately also and wouldnt have a problem with their given name being used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cabin Creek,Very sorry if I have offended you. I thought this was a public forum so as a member of the public I have the right to call a person by their name if I so choose as other people have the right to call me by my name if they choose. If the person is unhappy with me using their name they can tell me not someone with too much time on their hands to nit pick!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candles by Lisa Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks all,To tell you the truth I was totally gobsmacked.

Brenny Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Cabin Creek Candles,Wasn't there some other way of getting your point across than being rude on a public forum. Any one may use my name which is Brenda. I don't post that much but I consider everyone a friend here. Everyone is so willing to help and give advice whether you are a newbie (which I am) or an experienced candle maker. I just don't like rudeness.

chauntelle Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 there are places in the uk that specialise in packaging that do clear or translucent accessory sized bags perfect for candles not sure if it would suit you...just an idea Good luck i will keep thinking for you!!! Florist wholesalers might be an option you will need a record of your business but they do lots of bitsand pieces??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauntelle Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 My names Chauntelle (obviously) and wouldnt really want to be called anything else when im at home and chatting to you guys its a nice for me and candles not biz side of things so i dont think id really want to be called by my business name!!!I cant believe that that comment came out of nowhere its comments like that that started the bitching last summer dont know if anyone else remembers that! i think that it is nice that we can all help each other out maybe its because there isnt so much competition here and so nobody has to worry who they say wot to and can help each other!!! Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 thanks chauntelle. I've ordered some off ebay, will see how those are when they arrive.I've a floristry type warehouse local, I got a big role of cello from there, but they didn't have bags.They do have votive holders though and glass pillar plates really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
