sisters3 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hey there MoonShine!! Ha ha...I know, right? Wait until you see them in your hand, you'll LOVE them!! You know the funny thing, I mentioned earlier that we started using them for our new mens line and now....the mens line looks the best!! The black jars just went with the color scheme, its just not right I did order the plastic lids because I was pretty certain that I would label the jars, but now I'm thinking a different lid and lable the lid. Guess I'll have to wait until the samples get here. Have fun testing! I'll get some photos up later in the week when the sample labels get here. Hope you'll let me know how your testing goes!

sisters3 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thank you Debbie! How perfect that black/white/silver is your color scheme, they will look so great!! Great shipping too, to "Joisey" from CA...not bad! Will be back soon with some more pics. Have fun with the new jars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisters3 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 OK, here's the first label, black semi-gloss. What do you think? Can you picture it on the these jars?I don't have the actual label sample in hand, so I won't post any pics with the label on the jar until the end of the week.

Stella1952 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 From the LOVELY, well-designed label (which, to comply with FTC labeling regulations, needs the net weight of the product on it in both common (ounces) and metric (grams)... "All Natural"REALLY? :undecided There's nothing "all natural" about soy wax or fragrance oils... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisters3 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks Stella, 100% agree on the FTC labeling regulations, the net weight is on a clear label with the scent, on the bottom of the jar, as with our other candles.As to the use of all natural, that was only in the layout and subsequently removed. We did have a professional look into the use of "natural" on our products and he gave a determination that at one point we were good with and now not, I will share that with you at some point if you are interested. Its quite interesting. I should add that IF an additional "opinion" that we are waiting on supports the first, we will again add it to our labeling..

classiccandle Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Nice! What fragrance is it? Is that on a different label?Whoops! Never mind. We were posting at the same time! Edited March 6, 2012 by classiccandle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I like it did they send you a proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisters3 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks Sandra, yes, they did email a proof BUT the actual label is not here yet. They were nice enough to allow a very small run for me to try, I did have to pay a small amount, but their normal minimum run was too large for me without having sample in hand, I'm sure you know what I mean. We've ordered several times from them so glad they stepped up to the plate for a current customer, so many will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Very nice label sisters... given the shape am I correct that you are going to put it on the jar itself? Is it pretty reasonable to have them printed for you? I am finding that as much time as I spend fighting with my printer- sending them out may be a wiser choice if its not super expensive, I have never looked in to yet...yet!Good job and that is going to make an amazing line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisters3 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Hi there MoonShine! Thank you! Yes, our plan is to label the jar, now that may change once the actual label gets here, and as promised I will post a pic of the jar with the label on it. If it does not work out then we'll need to go with label on the lid, we'll see. I can totally relate to the time spent on printing your own labels, getting them custom made will change your world! We've only starte doing custom labels and it really makes all the difference. We started by using "stickers" because they were most econmical, $77 for (250) of them. If you want some help with setting up the label, etc. feel free to PM me and I will be more than happy to get you to the site and help walk you through the process if you like. Believe me it took me so much time to FINALLY find the right company. Let me know how I can help you, I'll be happy to send you some photos of how the "sticker" looks on a candle, the term sticker does not do it justice. You will love them!Edited to say: The black label is a semi-gloss label and not as reasonable as the "sticker" that I refer to, but we wanted a specific look for the black jar, it was tough.

sisters3 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hello All!! As promised here is a photo of the lable affixed to the jar so you can get an idea of what it looks like. Hope this helps those of you wanting to start offering the black jar. I like the look, I think we'll stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Very Nice! Gent Scents - love it!! You guys did a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerWicks Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 That's great! Like it very much. The color combo is perfect! I've tried all 3 Monticiano's. The black is definitely the best. The chrome is absolutely gorgeous, as long as you're standing over it looking down into jar. When 1st lit, it's stunning, I could see the reflection from flame. Not so much as the wax burns deeper into jar. Frosted still debating as to whether I like it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Label looks great but I'm really torn because I loved the look with no label and that candlelight showing through. You know you are a troublemaker here...I'm going to be in deep doodoo when the order arrives and hubby sees multiple boxes! Or worse yet, when he goes South and I ask him to pick it all up for me.. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I really pondered on the entire label, no label thing as well and my decision my change again, who knows, its really tough. But for now we'll go with and see what kind of feedback we get.

debratant Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I really like the label on it. You can always turn it around to have the flame show thru LOL. I don't know...just love the labelon it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisters3 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Horsescents and Debbie, thank you both very much! You kind of remind me of what goes on inside my head with this new jar...."label....no label...label" Ha ha, one of my sisters and I made a deal and SOME will be labeled for the Gent Scents and others will be no label. So, the best of both worlds Edited March 12, 2012 by sisters3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
