DIY Wrapping Soap

[@whitelacey333]

I like this method of wrapping and labeling. It doesn't hide the artistry of the bar plus it's fast and easy to do. Thanks, Dean!

[@DeanWilson]

Its the most cost effective way to wrap m&p soap. :)

[@priyaprasad9872]

Nice clean results. ~ A clever trick with the card stock.

Really nice idea thank you sir for this types of idea good idea sir this idea really help for me 👍👍👍

[@lozlovestravel]

Hi Dean, is this still how you wrap your soaps? Do you need to wrap the actual soap before putting in the bag to prevent sweating as it’s melt and pour soap? Thanks for showingnuo

[@DeanWilson]

If you jump to 7:35 on this video --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXvRdGt6qcmAjNk You will see how I wrap Cold Process and Melt and Pour soaps.

[@jubishefeer21]

Thankyou so much sir, cover packing supper ideas 😘😘😘

[@deviless87]

Is it better to shrink wrap or put the soap in the plastic bag like you do?

[@DeanWilson]

I put them into a plastic bag these days. I found that customers had to cut the shrink wrap with a knife just to get the soap out.

[@gaildodd1112]

hi dean just wondering have you done a tutorial on what has to be written on the labels for the customers information

[@DeanWilson]

Each country has different rules. But I had the fragrance, all the ingredients from the soap supplier and any other ingredients I have added, like glitter, mica etc. Also a link to website/email and how much the bar is in grams/oz

[@ohmyfoodsumathi]

Have you ever thought about doing a tuitorial on ho you make those labels? I love them.

Yes, You can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ-Qe6h9ntatfJo

[@kayb6009]

Thanks I watched that one. I was wondering about how you actually made your labels step by step lol.

[@DeanWilson]

That is how I made them. The only part I left out was when I hit the print button.. lol

[@kayb6009]

Duh me lol. I am embarrassed, going to watch again. Thanks so much.

[@kayb6009]

I meant you shpwing us how to make the actual label and what program you used. I love these labels.

[@nisigate]

Beautiful

[@louiealbrecht1088]

Thanks, you are SO helpful (as always)! Would this be OK for packaging melt-and-pour soaps? I've been scrupulous about completely sealing mine (sealing the celloohane bag closed with a heat gun) but when I gift my soaps the recipients can't really smell the fragrance until they rip off the packaging. I'd like to try this presentation but don't know if that tiny opening will allow enough moisture in to make the M&P sweat. Also, just as a little tip: if you tie the bow with the first side going UNDER instead of OVER, the finished bow will lay perfectly horizontally instead of canting a little diagonally (I know I'm not explaining it very well; it's a trick I saw a long time ago on "how to tie your shoes RIGHT.)

[@DeanWilson]

I use this same method now for my melt and pour soaps, except I use a small white rubber band to seal the top. This makes it really easy to seal the soaps and quick for the customer to get the soap out. It also allows them to stretch the rubber band apart to smell before buying. Does not effect the soap sweating at all.

[@tcooper802]

I am struggling with creating labels. I am not a computer person so I can't figure out the placement etc of making the labels. I don't have Any idea on printers etc. Is there a way I can just order from a company and pick a style ? Thank you

[@DeanWilson]

You can try etsy or fiverr to get someone to make and print them for you.

[@missaquart1841]

Love your work can you tell what site you use to create your labels thanks in advance

[@DeanWilson]

I didn't use a site. Just photoshop from Adobe.

[@missaquart1841]

[@gracehorton3315]

What needs to be included on labels etc if you sell your soap ? Can anyone sell soap or do they need any insurances or certificates if it’s just at craft fairs small online shops etc

[@DeanWilson]

Depends the country your in, each country have different rules. Insurance is most likely required for all types of selling.

[@reenarai9208]

Which size of plastic bag are you using and how much of gram is soap..?

[@DeanWilson]

100mm x 150mm soaps are 7cm, 5.5cm, 1 inch thick

[@gv3837]

Hi, Can you make a video for preventing m&p from sweating...i observe a lot of sweating on my m&p even after shrink wrapping

[@DeanWilson]

There is no way to stop it. All glycerine based soap will sweat. But there is a few that sweat less then others.

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

[@aboutall8897]

@@DeanWilson thank you Wilson...

[@Nadiagjq]

Hi Dean! I have a question...I've seen in the comments that your bars do not sweat and that you do not shrink wrap them....is it because of the type of base you use or is it simply that the packaging it is good enough to keep humidity away?

[@DeanWilson]

The bags I use are 100mm x 150mm plastic bags. I put a rubber band at the top to seal it and I wrap it around about 4-5 times. This protects it from the air so they dont sweat. If I leave them out they will. I found wrapping it shrink wrap made it hard for the customer to open then. Some even said they need to cut the package with a knife to get them out. So these bags make it easier.

[@maryjoyala6336]

Thanks for this video

[@sapphireblue222]

So you don't shrink wrap? Do your bars sweat?

[@DeanWilson]

sapphireblue222 My bars don't sweat at all. They are perfectly sealed in this plastic bags. I don't shrink wrap either.

[@nataku8006]

Deandeandeandeandean!!!!!!! Hi :) No but seriously you inspired me to make labels like this instead of buying die cut labels, since my stupid printer never lines up with the labels and they always look off to the side. But the only thing I changed is that I bought a 2 inch circle punch and I punch out labels faster! I can't freehand cut to save my life :(

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks Nataku, I have changed from the round labels to square labels and they seem to be much faster to make. Hope you find the nice balance for your labels.

@@DeanWilson Thank you very much

[@Whichofthefavors]

+Dean Wilson, I have noticed that you do not mention fragrance or color in your ingredients. Is that not necessary?

[@DeanWilson]

The fragrance is listed on the front. But I should add it to the ingredients too. Your right.

[@Whichofthefavors]

I only mentioned this because over in the US, if the fragrance and color is not listed in the ingredients, a lot of people will get into trouble. I am sure you can just list 'Fragrance' and 'Mica' in the ingredients perhaps. If you think about it, many products we use have 'Fragrance' listed in their ingredients and not the actual scent they use as these are business secrets and everyone has the right to keep their recipes a secret. As for colorant, you could probably write 'Mica' or the color code. What do you think? I could be wrong lol

[@DeanWilson]

Your right. I have now changed this for all my M&P pour labels. I also checked my CP labels and they have those details.

[@signqueen9408]

I'm starting to make me own soaps did you print those out yourself ?

Hi Dean, when using M&P do we need to wait before placing in bags? or is it ok to put straight in away.

[@DeanWilson]

+Cathrine Cowley I suggest waiting until it's firm before placing it into a bag. I wrap all my bars in clear wrap for at least 24 hours. Seal it completely without any air - this will reduce it sweating. After that I bag them.

What is the circle size

[@DeanWilson]

5.5cm Round labels.
