Benefits of Soap Box/Shrink Wrap/ Label----Youtube Included

[Guywithsoap?]

What are the different advantages to using one packaging method over another?

Here are some videos I was watching and noticed different methods.

The first method uses only a label.

Here is a video of a woman using shrink wrap but she does not use a heat gun.

I use a box but was am beginning to branch out to other shapes and sizes. I like the look of the shrink wrap but wonder about how my "all natural" crowd would feel about it ... but I LIKE how it's sealed!

I prefer soap boxes. When you have 600 bars of soap, shrink wrapping would take forever.

Oh ~ yeah .. 600 would be a nightmare. I could never convince my friends to help w/ that!

I only made it through about 30 seconds of the last woman, the one stamping her labels. What a waste of time. Why didn't she prin the name of the soap on the label? Just MHO.

I think the first one covers up all of the soap, you wouldn't know what you where buying under the paper.
I just put about a 1 inch band horizontally around the base of mine and tape it on, that way 3/4 of the bar is showing so it can be seen.
