homecomfort Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by shooter type tart containers. Do you have a pic you can post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mptex Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I saw those on a website just this morning, but it was the first time I have seen them.I would guess they came from a website supply store...That was pretty clearly an original name and idea I saw on a website...not sure I would want to copy it...

thesoapbox Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have seen those too. They look like little oval condiment containers, like the to go type containers used by restaurants for dressings or dips. Probably something you can get from a paper/plastic supply company that specializes in the to go packaging for restaurants.As I would not use the name that the other site uses, I see no harm in using the containers as I am sure they are available to everyone to purchase and not that one person. And there is nothing wrong with using the same type container as someone else, if there was, then only one person would be able to use all those neat looking glass jars that are used by ALL candle makers.JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol M Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The trouble with the Colonial ones is that those have no lid; at least they didn't when I bought some a year or so ago. It's just the plastic shell and the label is the lid. So making a label/lid might be somewhat of a challenge; it would have to fit exactly and have some type of adhesive around the edges.

thesoapbox Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The ones I saw were more of a definite oval shape and had a clear lid and black bottom. Not so much as the round ones pictured. I can't for the life of me remember where I had seen them though but definitely more of an oval shape.Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Those aren't the ones I saw. Those are more round to me. These I am talking about are more oblong than rounded.Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mptex Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Here are the ones called "Shooters."http://whiffandsniff.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiffandsniff Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Haha! I went to my site and saw like a flood of traffic and was like oh gosh.. what'd I do!?!Glad to know it was just my shooter cups creating the traffic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiffandsniff Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yeah, I call them shooters and I'm in the process of trading marking the name as well. Actually I'm trade marking "Scent Shooter" not just shooter.I get mine at Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesoapbox Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I absolutely have fallen in love with Costco LOL! I had never heard of them until ours opened up here about 5 months ago Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 You could have wine scents and call em wine shooters ! Just brainstorming lol!Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiffandsniff Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I saw your site the other day when I was looking up portion cup tarts, and I thought the shooter idea was so cute. I dont blame you for trade marking it Thanks! It's strange how I even came up with the name. I started pouring them one day and I thought they looked like jello shots and just called them scent shooters. They've been a huge hit and I'm busy as ever selling them. It's amazing how catchy they are and they hold scent like you wouldn't believe!I have to include really exact burning instruction with this style of packaging as I don't want anyone burning the thing in the cup. You never know! Some people don't even know how to get them out of it so I actually have to include it all in the instructions. So far so good! I'm amazed at how people can spend hundreds of dollars on a 1st order and not have tried my stuff but keep coming back for more. It's ok with me!It's been almost 2 years now since I started Whiff and Sniff and I haven't been happier with my scent list or packaging. I walk into my shop and I'm actually happy with how things are going and I just look around and I'm like, wow.. this is all mine! It's a great feeling to have!

countrychunkie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 We use the round cups similar to the oval ones and we get ours at sams club. We and our customers love them. So easy to do.But whiff I am with you. At our monthly show, we have people that ask us if they just throw the cup in the melter???? We are just like duh.....no you take it out of the cup and then put the melt in. It is too funny to see people look at them. Most people think they are just samples of our candles, so they are not opening all the jars. We sell the heck out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok with me!I sell something similar but in the black portion cups and I have "remove from plastic cup" not only on the warning label (along with normal melt type warning) on bottom, but in red on the scent label as well. Like you said, you just never know. These sell better for me than the clamshells or mini muffin melts I was doing before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justrightcandles Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 don't they have to be #5? are the ones from costco and sams say #5 on the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I've seen them called souffle cups, so a search for those on the web might come up with more results. They do have some at Costco, Sam's and Smart & Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
