I'd like to see :-) -----Original Message----- From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mandy Coleman Sent: Saturday, 13 March 2010 6:02 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Newbies Kia ora I like to see the saop so I chose cellophane bags that have a peel off seal that I bought off trade me,I got four different sizes` cos I make lots of different sized soaps. they don't hug the soap but I do quite like them (ho we will wait and see what the soap swap feedback says ...i think I am after loiuse and by the by, just so u all know, of course I want the full monty feedback lol)...plastic isnt my fav material but because my soaps are made to appeaal visually, u have to be able to see them. My honeycomb soap is juat cured today so I am goignto package it up and see how it looks it has vanilla and honey fragrance oils, cinamon for colour swirl, and my own recipe with cocoa butter, coconut, olive, palm, castor,soya and canola and bubble wrap to give the honeycomb feature and so me crayon to try to get gold not totally successfully but it does look fascinating..

Gosh, I must have missed that. Ross, could you resend that link? I'm much interested in other people's packaging solutions, as I've not done so well in that department and could use all the advice anyone may have. What sort of packaging does everyone use? I've seen some soap in vacuum plastic and others in cardboard boxes or sleeves, and others without packaging at all. What does everyone think about the packaging issue? Is totally "naked" best? Or do customers prefer boxes? As you can see, though I've been making soap a couple of years, I'm still very much a newbie in the business side of things.
