kitchenfairy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry if this is answered in another post, but I couldn't find it.I just got started and made a few sachet bags of aroma beads which I sent to my hubby who is deployed. Now everyone where he is seems to want some. My problem is how to I package these so that the scents don't mingle in the box on the way there? (His were all vanilla so I didn't have this problem)Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I am starting the corn cob sachets again. Havent shipped any yet but if I would I might use the cello bags that I use to pack tarts. That is if they fit.They are kinda bulky with the corn cob.I have at time with tarts (packaged in the cello bags) used paper towels between them when shipping.My one customer who buys them has never complained but they are in the cello bags and then covered again with the paper towel. Could use old newspaper or tissue paper(this is kinda expensive) LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks, do the cello bags keep the scent in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yes the ones I use hold the scent.You can get them at just about any candle supplier.Make sure they are the right ones.Maybe someone can help you with that.I get mine at Candles and Supplies or At Wix End. If you have a local supplier be sure to ask them if they do hold the scent and not suck it out of the fresheners or tarts(like I do)There have been many posts about the ones you want and ones not to use. lynns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craftyone Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The type of cello bag that you do want to use are the polypropylene. The ones you don't want to get are the polyethylene, which suck the fragrance out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was so thrown and confused because I really only was making them for hubby and then he calls tonight and says he has 2 people who definitly want some and more who are trying to decide! You may hear my head explode wherever you are as I really wasn't prepared to have things move so fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 You can pick up cello bags made for candy at a hobby store near you. Or pick up some disposable Glad containers (with #5 on the bottom) if you want to pack several of one scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I sell my sachets with the scented material sealed in ziplock cello bag. Then I package that small zippered bag inside another larger cello zip bag with the instructions and sachet bag - they place the scented materials in once they are ready to use it. I found the double bagging is the only way to keep the scent from migrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks everyone. I just ordered some polypro bags from uline and will see how they do... may do the double bag if I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ok, now I need more help. I got my bags, everything is getting made in regard to the sachets, but I'm having a really tough time with my labels. I am trying to create a card that tents with my logo, name and website on one side and my warning info on the other. But every template I've tried messes up and doesn't print everything or turns my typing over so my warning is upside down when it prints. Does anyone have a trusted template or a resource for someone who can print these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You can use any template that is 4x2 (or whatever size you need-just taller than wide). Put 2 text boxes in with your information. Back of the tag (instructions, etc) is the bottom box, front (logo, scent, etc) is in the top box. Then turn the top text box 180*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks.. I'll try again as this is what I did the first time... maybe it's my printer that doesn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Finally! I got these done. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
