I am going to try and make some lotion bars what is the best way to package them for sale? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks Kay

I package mine in the roll up clear tubes.

I use tins.

I like the .75 oz. twist up tubes from Elements

I do some twist up tubes, but I also pour them into molds (like silicone cupcake pan or like these http://www.spinningleaf.com/cookie-molds/standard-bite-size.php

then I put them into a tin

I use tins.

Why not try actually making some and getting a recipe you like, then you can see what packaging works for you. Different feeling bars may lend themselves to different packaging applications.

I use tins, but its all personal preference really.

I found my customers liked a smaller bar so I found some small square plastic containers at the dollar store. I can actually pour the bar right in there to harden then I pop it out put it back in.

Around Valentines day they had cute little plastic hearts to put candy in. A little heart lotion bar from the silicone mold fits perfect in there.

For sample sizes I use a mini ice cube mold (star or heart shaped) and then bought the little condiment containers from like a resturant or bulk food store. At one craft show I even sold those little ones really cheap. Seems people who were looking for something little so spend money on ended up buying them and then loving them. I also stick one in with my orders to win them over.
