any feedback is welcome. thank you for looking!
 
oh, and these are just snapshots from my iphone. my wife is a photographer so hopefully at some point i'll convince her to help me get some better shots.
 
I think they look fantastic. They're easy to read, colorful to catch the eye and I like how the graphics match the scent. I think it all looks very professional. You did a great job on these labels. :D
 
Very nice, but a weights and measure suggestion here. Only put the lower amount (4 oz). I don't know if you wholesale but the dept. of weights and measures will not fine if you are over 4oz but will if you're under the 5 oz. They're kinda picky. Then again you may never see them, but we did at our convenient store and they checked all non commercially made items.

I think I missed something here. I don't understand about the DWM fining you if your over 4oz., but will if your under 5....

good suggestion! thanks for the input. whenever i decide to move forward to sale (still a ways off), i will definitely keep that in mind.

being a bit over the weight you list benefits the consumer in thier opinion, not having as much as you say is in it is looked at as fraudulent.
I am sure the OP is wanting to be as close as she can on her labels so people know what theyre getting. Hence the 4oz-5oz because each bar does not weigh exactly the same, but if a bar weighs a bit over 4oz no one will complain. Not even the government dudes :)
 
labeling...

Ok...I see what you mean now. I just thought that by putting 4 to 5 oz. (4-5) was clear enough to the consumer and the BWM's that the bar weight was in that range. Oh well, better to be safe than sorry....
By the way, you did a very nice job on those labels and I thought they were just fine. Good luck selling your soap....
