Looking for packaging ideas for melt and pour soaps

[tjturner]

I am trying to find some packaging ideas for my melt and pour soaps that doesn't cost to much to buy or to make.

Use cheap plastic wrap from the grocery store and a hair dryer to shrink the plastic around the soap, then add a label.

Wrapping

I use Costco's PROFESSIONAL plastic wrap. It comes in a huge roll that will last a long time - and it has a great blade serrator on it. Then I put my label on the back of the soap and tie with Wraphia ribbon (100 yd spools available on Amazon and tie off. I bought several different colors of the Wraphia to compliment various soap colors. I am a hobbyist and wanted something that looked nice, showcased, the soap, but was economical.

I wrap mine up in cling wrap as well. I've used Glad brand which works well, now I am using the food service prep stuff from Sam's Club, comes in a big roll like mentioned above, with a nice cutter. I've never tried using a hair dryer, but I imagine it would work just fine. I use a heat gun ($20 from Michaels) but it takes a bit of practice to shrink the plastic without melting the soap. The end result looks very professional and prevents shrinkage and glycerin sweat. Then I use basic Avery printable labels on the back.
