Lotion Bar Packaging & Tins

[TheWickedWick]

For those that make and sell lotion bars in tins, do you wrap the bar in decorative paper and saran type wrap first or just saran wrap by itself. I'm trying to figure out how to do an upscale presentation. I'll be using the silicon round guest mold and 4" shallow tins from WSP. Just tried the push up tubes..oh my...what a joke! Those suckers come flying out! Thought about the twist up tubes from Elements but they're out of stock and not sure when they will be back in.

any thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

I dont wrap the bar in anything before putting it in my tin.. just put a seal on my tin and call it good.

I don't wrap mine either.

So unwrapped in the tins they don't dry out? Not wrapping them would make things a lot easier. I tend to make my chores harder sometimes more than they need to be!

I just put a circle of wax paper in the bottom of my tin.

dry out? there is not any water to dry out.

I bought one and it was wrapped in a fancy waxed paper.

That would be nice in a fancy waxed paper, more work but pretty.

I've been wrapping mine in colored tissue paper, and that seems to work fine.

I had gone to wally world in the donut section to grab one of the papers you pick up the donuts with - I got it to test out a couple of ideas for wrapping different things.

It worked perfect to wrap around a massage bar and then put that into the tin!! Keeps the massage bar from bouncing around in the tin and getting all yuck-o.

The wax paper was folded into a point around the bar so the points are towards the middle. with a round gold embossed sticker. Opens up like a Kaleidoscope. Don't know how hard that would be but was a good impression and cost about $15.00 per 2 oz tin. So don't sell them cheap.

I think you can make wax paper by ironing freezer paper to tissue paper.
