cigar band

Could someone tell me how to do a cigar band label? Thanks

For the shrink wrap type (is this what you mean)?

Place the soap in the band.

Shrink wrap the ends first, a little at at a time.

Then shrink wrap the middle part, being careful not to get it too tight around the area where the perforation is.

Light touch up the whole soap.

Just a few of them and you will get the hang of it no problem.

If wanting to make a paper one, I used the template for a lable I found that would be the right size for my soap. I inserted 3 different text boxes - 2 for each side and the front and played with the words and spacing until I got it right. I'm sure there is an easier way but that is how I did it.

Here is a link that somebody has posted before for soap bands, hope it's of some help.

Thanks you guys...Meridith, I guess I will try the shrink later.

The shrink wrap is a quick and easy way to wrap your soap while leaving the ends exposed so customes can smell the soap. then you can just put a sticker on the cigar band. You can get these shrink wrap bands at MMS.

The label template from geocities does not work b/c I do not have Publisher. I will continue to google for one. Thanks
