    Shrinking soap and loose cigar bands

    We had this happen and decided to only attach labels when they were ready to sell. Not sure if this helps you but it saved us from having loose labels.

    Best Source for Deodorant Containers?

    The Canadian site only ships to Canada apparently ... Thanks though I ordered from the Elements site, I got the 2 oz Natural round tubes with a twist-up (propel/repel) base, some cool little sprayer bottles, and misc. other items lol. Shipping cost was very low compared to what I'm used too...
