Generally when you’re selling the product you want to balance between keeping costs down and achieving a look that works with your branding.
There’s lots of good ideas here. I have tried most everything that people have mentioned and I’m heading towards more professional options because I’ll be selling product as soon as I’ve registered my recipies with health Canada.
For me I want packaging that stands up to humidity in the bathroom and wet hands.
I’ve yet to find a home-made option that does that well.
For things like soap labels and wraps you can do this for pennies per unit and go up from there.
I currently use card stock soap wrap labels from creative labels and laser print them myself.
Cost is $0.35 / label
This is ok because soap labels and wraps are discarded but for my lotions and deodorants I pay up to 3 dollars per unit. It’s expensive but I see no way around it
