If it is M&P it needs to packaged airtight in a nonporous substance.
The sweating is the glycerin pulling moisture out of the air & binding it to the surface of the bar.
I find it best to wrap it tightly in saran wrap first, then if you want to place it in a pretty box, wrap it in gift wrap, drop it into a clear bag to tie w/ a bow or etc, you can. The saran keeps it airtight to prevent shrinkage or sweating.

I agree, I use syran wrap as well. I tried using cellophane because I thought it made the presentation look nicer, but it wasn't air tight and my soaps started to sweat in the plastic. Plus I like how the smell comes through the syran wrap (although I'm sure over time this will cause the scent to fade faster)
