The little soap boxes with cutouts on them seem to be pretty much the same size, 3.5" x 2.5" x 1".
I've also noticed that most cutting rigs are set to cut bars from log molds 1" thick. If you cut a bar 1" thick when it is fresh, it is going to shrink. So, if you want to use the little boxes, how thick do you cut the bars?
And what do you do for larger bars?
I have tried cigar bands, but as the bar ages, it shrinks and the bands end up being loose.
I'm wondering about shrink-wrapping. If the bars are fully aged, do they continue to lose water and condense within the wrapping? or do loose cellophane wraps work?
I like the idea of boxes, but feel constrained by the available sizes.
Any suggestions?
