Alajane Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I've been struggling with how to package my M&P soap. I love the ease of clamshells but didn't really like the look. When I got a new wholesale account a few months ago, I decided I had to do something better, so this is what I came up with. It's funny how much trouble it is to make something look casual--I could have cut the cigar bands much more quickly but I wanted the edges to look torn! I put the ingredients label on the back.

Alajane Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks so much for the comments--I was (finally!) happy with it.AlwaysWondering, you asked what it was wrapped in--it's shrink wrapped (with the ends left open) underneath the band.

AnnieD Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good job! I bought a pair of scrapbooking scissors to get that "torn" look on the edges of some Christmas tags I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Alajane - I was wondering how you get that torn look if you don't mind sharing.Annie-- have you tried the scissors? do they work?At one time I wanted to use paper I found at Staples that mimics old parchment paper. If I could get a nice torn look it would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alajane Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Candybee, I got the torn look--by tearing!! It's a pain because inevitably I mess up a few and have to print extras. I put a ruler with a metal edge where I want the paper torn and "let 'er rip!" The sheets of paper are longer than I need, thank goodness, because quite often it's difficult to get it started and the end may not be right, but I have to cut the ends to size anyway, and then I put the ingredients label over the seam on the back. It's a bit of a pain--takes much longer than just making labels and putting in place, but I do love the look and since I don't sell a lot of soap it's worth it.On the other hand, if I sold hundreds of bars of soap at a time, I don't think I'd go with this method!
