I don’t like the soap labeled that way! It looks cheap, unprofessional and if the labels get warm on the soap they will either slip or get really sticky and become harder to remove from the soap! The bags are probably ok to send to your golden bubbles , but not for professional sales! I loved the boxes you used to put the soap in before with the shrink wrap! Just giving my opinion. P.S. A lot of people are drawn to a product because of the cute or elegant wrapping it’s in! People continue to buy because of the quality and price point!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yeah for sure! There’s so many ways to label soap! I you bring up tons of great points. There are a ton of ways to sell a product and packaging can definitely make that sale. When my business was open, my online soap product listings were just pictures of the naked bar of soap. Any packaging I did would’ve been after the product is sold. But I totally understand how packaging can sell a bar! 😊

[@moiraesfate1]

I think my labels would fall off from the humidity. Jerika, be careful of copyright in the US. It's completely maddening but it's very easy to make that mistake. I started naming my bath and body products generically (strawberry for strawberry for example) because there's less of a chance of violating copyright and getting sued.

[@carolynpalano9284]

Hi Jerika , I actually tried labeling about 3 dozen soaps like this, nothing between the back of the label and the soap....a few weeks later I went to get some of the soaps for a a shop and I notice like a cloudy look behind the sticker label, The labels adhesive had for whatever reason( they were just in my dining room) maybe some humidity) well when I peeled off one of the labels it was a good mess under there and had left very thin but noticeable bits of label adhesive, I had to unwrap and scrape off all of that from my bars as I didn't want a customer seeing that on a new bar of soap! So my thought is , it's a guick see-through way of labeling but maybe if the soap is stored in a super climate controlled room it wouldn't leave a glue film on the beautiful soap❤

[@sarahgirlsoaps]

That is how I’ve labeled mine since day one. One label on the back with all information. I do markets a few times a week. I don’t use the clear label, but I’ve contemplated it. I only put a couple of each soap out at markets, so they are not all exposed to the elements all the time. I’ve never shrink wrapped outside of Covid or stores that request it

[@sharethesoap1327]

Yup! For our direct customers we stick our labels directly on, but all white labels so that they're easier to read. The only thing I've found though, is that I can't store them with the labels on or the ink disappears where it touches the other bars. So we just label them as we pack orders.

[@awilliams8302]

Hi Jerika! Great video as usual. Thanks for sharing your expertise with the rest of us. Have a blessed day!

Oh thank you! 😊

This soap look stunning 🤩

[@happytx2320]

Those are very pretty!😊

[@TotsnTwins]

Oh wow, I had always assumed it wouldn't stick to the soap. I've been looking for a new way to label mine, as I feel like my cigar bands have too much movement for me. I'm going to have to try this out!

[@user-ix2nl8nw8e]

what about using the thin plastic nylon wrap that used to cover the food .. it would cover the soap without hiding its colour since it is transparent also because it is will stick to the soap ..make sure to try it

[@ram1brn]

yes you still need to shrink wrap your soap keeps them from moisture , humidity ,dust

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes! Shrink wrap protects soap so well!

So much to comment on this great video filled with tips…..first of all the colors of the soap products just come through the lens so well…..loved finding out about PNW Suds…..so happy a connection could be made…..VISA Visa Visa……governments are so interesting in the decision process these days……is it Friday?….ummmm……two videos this week….love it

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you so much!

[@cherridaylehouse]

GREAT IDEA! However, print may not show as well on darker bars. I guess white gloss would work for these?

[@jessandmax2955]

Jerika, I have an idea for you. I had this vision of you using a stamp instead of stickers!

[@GiuliaBaldo-Duncan]

Would that leave a residue on the soaps? For people that have sensative skin would the sticker/label residue cause issues? Use that star mold to make another astral/sky/moon/cosmic bundle!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Nope! Peels off cleanly!

[@tamaraharmon720]

The bath bombs are so cute and the soap looks amazing 👏

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Aw thank you!

[@jenifermiller6944]

Great vlog - and funny you are mentioning the sticker directly on the soap as I recently bought a few bars of soap and it was labeled with a sticker too 🙂 I need to try your new bath bomb recipe for my granddaughter - she LOVED the scoop from the Golden gift last month ! 🥰

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It’s a great way that saves a lot of time! Glad to hear your granddaughter enjoyed the solid bubble bath! She’ll probably like the Barbie soap coming your way 😊

[@jenifermiller6944]

@@JerikaZimmerman I cannot wait to share it with her - thank you so much for ALL that you do.

[@Bellessentials]

Beautiful products! You could also just put labels on the bags if you wanted. Shrink wrapping does take more time for sure. I prefer them for markets, but I’ve thought about shipping in bags as well. Everyone has their own preferences. I like shrink wrapping because it keeps the soap intact better without getting damaged as bad, keeps dust off, and I think it makes the fragrance last longer. Soap I leave out and don’t shrink loses scent faster🤷🏼‍♀️ But always looking for a quicker/cheaper way. Love that you show us your process and trying different things❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You’re welcome! There’s so many ways to go about it! That’s why I love experimenting and trying new things!

[@karenMQSoapery]

I’ve seen so many people making barbe lotion and soaps tumbliers and bath bombs 😂

[@ashleyjones2034]

Would you say you prefer inventora over craftybase? I found craftybase incredibly difficult to use, and it was about double the price of inventora. I haven’t tried inventora yet.

[@paulalynrider4009]

I totally agree with you, beautiful but simple is the key in all the business things! Also in all the life things!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thank you!!! ❤

[@moonlathersoaps]

I did this... and it was difficult to take off 😔

[@moonlathersoaps]

Some customers complained since they wouldnt use all the soaps for months. So it got tackier after a while and left residue on them. I too use online labels.

[@user-pi5lq8rr1p]

JERIKA HELP! how do you know how much to cut to get the oz you need in the soap bars. Hope my message is not confusing 🫤

[@crazywowable]

Looks great. However it must be hard to take those labels off as a customer, getting soap wedged under your nails. Barbie lotion looks super in those jars!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

They are pretty easy to peel off, but I can see that for sure!

[@ShelleyCrawley]

I am in the market for a color laser printer that will accept cardstock, would love to know the printer you use!! Thanks!

[@karendenbok3206]

Love the labels like that. However, my friend tried labels on soap at markets....the heat and humidity made the labels curl up.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yea I wouldn’t do this method vending in person.

[@TracyD2020]

I don't like labeling the soaps like that

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Ya it’s definitely not for everyone!

[@trueseattleite6958]

Why? Does it cause an issue with the soap or is it an aesthetic preference? Does it cause the soap to be sticky when you remove it as a customer?

[@rainesonne1320]

@@trueseattleite6958 The glue on the label can get sticky from the water in the soap! If it’s hot when it’s mailed the label can move or curl up on the edges!

[@trueseattleite6958]

@@rainesonne1320 thanks for the response! That definitely would be annoying as a consumer.

[@cedarwings60]

I have been labelling my soaps in this way for many years. Simple straightforward, ingredient labels there, no cigar bands to shrink and fall off. Minimalist packaging which is in my wheelhouse

[@thefragranceapothecary7281]

What about your fingerprints and dirt getting on the soap?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I stopped worrying about that so much when I saw completely naked soap bars being sold everywhere.

[@agnieszkakrolik4534]

No, I will never buy cosmetics/soaps labeling like this. I don't know what is in glue. Probably it contains heavy chemicals.

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

FDA says labels need to have certain ingredients and information on the product. Contact information as well. You can add the label on the outside of the bags. Or use a single postcard about your products.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Great point! Yes, those are all on the labels I stuck on the soap 😊

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

@@JerikaZimmerman okay. I didn’t catch that on the video. Also are you still using Crafty base program with the inventory program. Basically are they running side by side?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Nope, I’m making the switch to Inventora!

[@MUSICLOVERGIGGLES]

@@JerikaZimmerman Thank you for the introduction of this program. Love the new haircut. You look younger yet.😍

[@rebafryer6113]

I would NOT want the label on the actual soap

[@carolforeman4952]

Where do you get the bags for the soap

[@tntina420]

No! Glue on the soap is a terrible idea! I’m allergic to adhesives and I wouldn’t be able to use soap with label adhesives on the soap and I would never put an adhesive label directly on my soap. Just no!

[@themossgarden9698]

If Barbie was a soap that soap would definitely be her! I love that labeling system! We can sell “naked” soap you don’t even need a label 😮 I bet you get can a stamp made and just stamp the bag? It’s something I want to do. I mean, if you sell a naked soap you can just print all the info on a piece of paper? Or a small card…. Idk it got my brain twirling 😆

[@JerikaZimmerman]

100%! There’s so many ways to label a soap and not adding a label at all is even easier LOL. 😊

[@Sweetescapessoapery]

I love naked soaps. I don’t think it’s unhygienic because soap is naturally antibacterial. I do shrink wrap (biodegradable) but I appreciate a naked soap ❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yeah! They’re sold everywhere too!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

@nikki8820 thank you for being kind. I appreciate you!

[@purplepentagram]

I bought a bar from a local soapmaker who used the same method to label. Their labels were the brown paper kind of labels. I thought it was cool as I'm trying to reduce the amount of packaging I use. Also I haven't used that bar yet and the label is still ok 1 year later

[@JerikaZimmerman]

That is awesome! I was wondering about the longevity of the sticker but it guess once it’s there, it’s there!
