soap packaging

[iammsq]

Although I do not sell my soaps, I give a lot as gifts. I have been wrapping in tissue paper which is a pain and you can barely smell the soap through the tissue paper. I have used small plastic sandwich bags but if my soap sits for a while in the plastic it gets DOS quickly. There is a seller on Etsy who sells small glassine bags and says that they are great for soap, but would that be the same as plastic? Can the soap breathe through the glassine bag? I guess I'm not sure exactly what glassine is? I have looked for small kraft bags, but cannot find any small enough for soap bars. Any thoughts? Suppliers you might recommend?Thanks for the help!

I've been wrapping mine in tulle ovals (that I have to cut out) and then gathering at the top with a ribbon from which I string a little folded tag. The tags have been a pain to print evenly (front and back lining up properly) so I'm looking for a better way. I do like the way it looks in the tulle but wish it were a little simpler. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

This is a thread started in 2010, and the original poster hasn't been on SMF since 2013. We discourage "necroposting" which means to post new comments on inactive and often out-of-date threads. I want to make it clear that there is absolutely nothing wrong with discussing soap packaging ideas -- just do this by starting a new thread or posting in an active thread covering this particular topic. If you like, you can provide a link to this old thread in the new one -- that lets people get more background if they want.
