DosGardenias23 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What is the safe/appropriate way to package fragrance oils for shipping? I'm sure this is archived somewhere, but I can't seem to find it...Thanks!Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 If they are plastic bottles, I usually use electrician tape to tape around the caps. This usually keeps the lids secure. If they are glass, I usually wrap the bottle in bubble wrap. Make sure to also add padding in any nooks and crannies in the box so that the bottles don’t roll around. Place them right side up and not on their side if possible. If I am shipping in a flat rate priority box, I place them in there at a 90 degree angle with padding holding them up, so that I can close the top but they don’t fall flat. This isn’t really professional type packaging, but I don’t sell fragrance oils retail, just to other members on this board through the classys.

CareBear Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 If I'm worried at all, I seal the bottles with electrical tape as above and then vacuum pack with my Food Saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have vacuum packed some and you have to be really careful because in the plastic bottles the vacuum tends to colapse the bottle too! Some came out ok and others not! Now I just tape up the caps on plastic bottles and put them in a zip lock. I've received some from suppliers that leaked a little, but not enough to worry...just makes the box smell good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
