Round Soap Packaging....

[DebbieTX]

Anyone have any ingenious ideas on how to package the round soaps? I've made a couple of batches in my Upland round mold and now thinking about packing them. I package my rectangle ones in Dan's Bands but I dont think that these will fit. I see that SW has boxes but you cant see the soap and you would have to take it out of the package to sniff.

The only thing I know of and have seen are people using coffee filters.

Coffee filters with a nice round label in the middle is how we did it when we made round soaps.

B&BW sells round soap and has a unique paper wrap.

I can fit my round bars from my Uplands mold in a Dan's band with no problem. But it has to be the Dan's bands and not the smaller ones. I stick my lable on the outside.

I use the coffee filter thing, tissue paper too, but that is more labor intensive. The only deal is that you can't see the pretty swirls so you have to have a bar out naked at markets.

The BBW soap looks similar to the coffee filters.

Somebody awhile back was using French fry bags that worked out really cute, but I never could find them.

How do you make a coffee filter be an attractive wrapping?

Darbla, you can make the coffee filter look attractive but pasting a round label on it, just like in the BBW example Bugtussle mentioned.

that's pretty much what the coffee-filter wrapped soaps look like. I can't handle tissue paper - I've no patience and it tears too easily.

for those who don't know - you need a round fluted coffee filter and a roll of duct tape. lay the filter flat (open) on top of the roll of tape and put your soap in the center. Push it down and through the roll of tape and when it comes out the back it'll be gathered nicely! slap on a round label and you are good to go.

For glassine (like french fry bags) bags got to Uline.

Awesome tip, thanks!! I was wondering how I was going to keep that coffee filter from getting all lopsided. I can't wait to try out my round Upland!

I saw these the other day and wondered how they would do for packaging round soaps. If these were used, you could still see the soaps if you swirl.
