thermal transfer

Hi there, I have a new small business and just getting into shipping my products and have a couple questions: 1. Is a thermal label printer worth it? If so, what kind? If not, what else do you do? 2. How do you package your soap to ship safely? Especially wholesale - do you still wrap each one...

I started a thread asking about temperatures that everyone uses and Genny mentioned she uses the Thermal Transfer Method. I thought it would be a good idea to keep this in a separate thread. Does anyone use this method? And what are the no no's with this method? Really excited to learn...
