Would anyone be willing to share where you have your soap boxes printed? I have somewhere in mind for labels, but no idea for boxes. If possible, I would like to be able to design the colors etc. on them, so that they are personalized. What companies have you had good experiences with...

We have tried FOs up till now in our soaps, but they're so unpredictable. I'm thinking I will like the creative freedom and definite characteristics of the different essential oils. What, if I may ask, have you found to be the most cost efficient source for EOs? As far as I can tell, it's worth...
