I package mine in shrink wrap. I don't want moisture to get to them. I've also put them in little novelty boxes (wrapped).

It depends on the size of the bath bombs and if you use 1 bag per bomb. Wholesale Supplies Plus has three sizes. They shrink to 40% of the original size.

I watched a YouTube video where that lady (sorry, I cannot remember who it was) used Saran Wrap and cut it in a square, placed the bath bomb in the middle, then wrapped it tightly. After wrapping, she used her blow dryer to shrink the Saran Wrap on the bath bomb and seal it from air and moisture getting into it.
Thank you, I saw your post after I posted mine. I'll try it, I need to gift someone some bath bombs and I don't have any idea about how to wrap them. I haven't done that before.
I have not used this technique since I use shrink wrap bags, but I wanted to pass it along. Let us know how it works if you try it.

I started by using srink wrap bags but i find them a pain to pick open when i want to get in a bomb. I now just use clingfilm (the stuff you wrap food up with. Plastic wrap?)
I watched bath bomb reviews on you tube and many mentioned how anoying shrink wrap is.

Thank you for letting us know, that's what MKLonestar has mentioned. I don't have shrink wrap, I was thinking to order some for my soap as I just wrap them with customized papers that I make.
I have wrapped them in plain sandwich baggies with a twist tie when I didn't have my shrink wrap stuff with me (making them while visiting granddaughter) and that worked just fine to keep them dry and secure. I traveled with one wrapped like that for several months before I realized I still had it and used it at last. It survived just as well as ones I have shrink wrapped at home.
Did the scent survive as well? Thank you for sharing your experience.
I bought a glass apothecary jar that has a lid with a rubber seal so pretty air tight, from Amazon. They come in all sizes. Bombs look so pretty in the glass jar witb a red lid.
I saw them somewhere last night, they are neat, I love them, I am sure they keep the bath bombs fresh. They will be great if I had a craft show. Thank you for sharing.
Edit to add that I just checked amazon, I see their sizes kind of small, what size you order. I think I fell in love with them, I'd like to buy few.

I tried this over the weekend on my bubble scoops. It worked like a charm! A little tedious when you have 120ish scoops, but still better than letting them sit in buckets at shows getting dirty. Plus, I can still smell them through the saran wrap! Thanks for sharing
Yes, as a matter of fact, which actually surprised me because it resided in my suitcase for those months. What with the heat of the car trunk while traveling, etc. I would not have been surprised to lose the scent.
