soap labels

[Marilyna]

I've used the white ones extensively and they stick nicely and peel off nicely, but haven't used the clear ones.

My thoughts exactly, Im worried about them not sticking and staying "stuck" until they are meant to be peeled off. I think Im still gonna give it a try, although I love cigar bands...this time around
I just cant bring myself to hide all the pretty soap! I'll let you know how they work out. And thanks for the other links, I love having options :-D

Shawnee I expect that the soap is shrink wrapped. I've seen that done and it is wonderful. I prefer to use card stock for the soap label and then a sticky on the bottom edge of the soap.

I thought shrink wrap may work...but wouldn't it need to be perforated so the soap can breathe? Or just shrink wrap bands, maybe?
I've seen some sellers just stick the label directly on the soap. I just can't see that staying put...though I love the idea of minimal packaging! I've stuck with recycled kraft cardstock for my cigar bands and I like the look, but it also covers up most of the pretty soap...

These guys are a competitor to Avery. I've used their products before. Pretty easy to use their stuff.

I use Online Labels all of the time, they are great.

Has anyone used the Maestro Label Designer that is available on onlinelabels.com?

I saw some shrink wrap company that sells perforated wrap especially for soap. Now I need to find the link.......

EDIT:Found it!

I used fiverr.com to have my logo designed ($5.00 + another $5.00 to have it in a variety of formats).

I ordered some sample sheets from onlinelabels.com and can't get them to stick for more than a day. So disappointed because their design program is exceptionally easy to use.

If you're serious about branding your soap and making it more of a business than a hobby, I'd suggest getting a real graphic designer. I do graphic design full time and I've seen soooo many homemade logos etc that look dreadful, but put on great products. Invest the money and get it done right the first time. It will make your products look more professional, and in turn you'll see more customers.

The "l" at the end of your url. prevents access to your site....

For really good labels (they'll send you a free sheet for a sample) go to uline.com or .ca if you're in Canada. That is where I get mine and they are fantastic!

I use the perforated shrink from National Shrinkwrap (the link given above) and I love it!

Here is the legislation:

6. Name and Address of Manufacturer

Sometimes it is necessary for the public, associations, medical practitioners, government agencies, or other interest groups to know the identity of the party that is responsible for a product (e.g., in order to communicate with the responsible party). This party is often known as the manufacturer or dealer.
It is important that the name and address on the label appearing in section 2(a) of the Cosmetic Notification Form for the product that is submitted to the Cosmetics Program correspond to the name and address on the label.

So if you are using your home address with Health Canada to register your formulations then you will need to use that on your label. If you want to use a PO Box on your label then you will need to use it with Health Canada..... of course I still need to confirm this with Health Canada....
