momtohaley2004 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm wondering how everyone packages their soaps for retail sale for those of you who sell soaps. Particularly interested in the packaging on goat's milk soap and shea butter soaps. Wanting to get ideas on how to package other than say shrink wrap or serran (spelling??) wrap. Anyone willing to offer ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I do use the DANS bands from MMS for my Soaps (all are GM). They have open ends for breathing (and sniffing!)and I put a label under the wrap on one side so they can still see my swirls on the other. I find the soaps get less dinged up this way.When I first started I did paper bands with kraft paper.I also have sold my bars naked at markets and put them in a labelled glassine bag upon purchase, but at farmer's market they were getting too dirty.I also tried just selling in a labelled glassine bag with a bar of each out for everyone to look at and sniff.hands down the Dans bands have been the best shoice in time spent and in sales.

elfcat Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 OK, what are Dan's bands? And where do you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dans bands are soap shrink wraps from MMS. the are open on each side. They fit my bars which are 2.5 inches high, 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch thick. They are perforated so you can easily get the bar out too!http://www.thesage.com/catalog/ShrinkWrap.html scroll down to bar soap shrink bands and you will see them.

eugenia Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I box mine in these. http://www.sunshinecontainer.com/soap_boxes.htmI live close by and they made the boxes using my soap, so I know they fit 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.25 perfectly. These are much heavier than the boxes sold by KB, Scent-Works, etc.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
