With a Twist on Handmade Soap Packaging
Soap makers who wish to give their creations as gifts or start a business can choose from a number of creative packaging alternatives.
Unique Handmade Soap Packaging Has a High
Value
If you're new to soapmaking, you might be more concerned
with creating the perfect bar of soap than with coming up with attractive
packaging ideas. There are, however, some strong reasons to think carefully about
the packaging you choose. Think about this scenario:
Handmade Soap Packaging makes it obvious that your soap is a
one-of-a-kind handcrafted creation rather than something purchased in a store.
If your soap has a unique aroma or contains specific
ingredients, the container can be used to convey that information.
If you Plan to Sell Your Soap, the Container
Could Act as a Brand Extension.
When soap is included in a gift basket with other related
items like body lotions, bath bombs, or other cosmetics, the packaging can
serve to emphasize the concept of the present.
Ideas for Simple Handmade Soap Packaging
Handmade soap packaging does not have to be complex or
expensive. If you're looking for simple packing solutions, consider using
cellophane or polypropylene, gift wrap, fabric, handmade washcloths, or
scrapbook supplies left over from previous paper-making projects.
Cellophane or Polypropylene
Cellophane or polypropylene can simply be used to package
handmade soaps. These clear polymers are available in sheets or bags. Whether
you make curved soaps or soaps with beautiful designs within the bars, this
translucent packaging allows buyers to see your work.
Gift-Wrapping
Gift wrap, which may be obtained in stationary or office
supply stores, is another great packaging choice for soap makers. Individual
bars can be wrapped in fun gift wrap and tied with a pretty ribbon. If you
prefer clear packaging, wrapping the soap in cellophane or polypropylene sheets
and utilizing the gift wrap to make decorative tags is an option.
Fabric is a unique option for soap packaging, and it can be
obtained for a minimal cost by recycling garments from garage shops or thrift
stores. For a western look, wrap strips of denim around the soap and fasten
with a leather chain. A feminine packaging alternative for floral scented soap
is silk fabric wrapped with a sheer ribbon.
If you know how to sew, you might design reusable fabric
bags for your handcrafted soap to use as distinctive packaging. Craft and
Fabric Links has a gift bag template that might be used to manufacture soap
packaging.
Handmade Washcloths are Available in a variety
of Colours and Patterns.
Consider packaging that serves two purposes to turn your
soap into a multipurpose gift. If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, you can
make lovely washcloths that double as basic soap packaging. Crochet Pattern
Central features a plethora of crocheted bath item patterns, while SirePrinting
has a basic knitted washcloth pattern.
Scrapbooking Supplies
If you enjoy scrapbooking as well as making soap, use your
scrapbooking supplies to create unique soap packaging. Wrap the soap in pretty
patterned scrapbook paper, then add stickers or other embellishments to add a
little pizazz to the presentation. If you like rubber stamping, you might make
your own beautiful paper out of plain cardstock.
Covers for Soap Boxes and Other Items in
Their Entirety
It's simple to package your soap by dropping it into a
suitable-sized box. Soapboxes come in a number of sizes and shapes, and you may
personalize them with your own label and/or images.
You may alternatively use a custom box with a die-cut
cutout. It has a professional appearance and a little window that allows you to
inspect the color of the soap. A soapbox, on the other hand, looks clean and
polished even without a glass, and it can be used for writing and information
on all four sides.
Another option in the "box" category is the soap
on the bottom. Although it isn't in a box, it is completely wrapped in paper
and labeled as a Christmas gift.
SirePrinting can make custom boxes in whatever size, shape,
or design you choose. You'll get a one-of-a-kind box designed specifically for
your soap. Any style, whether vintage, minimalist, flowery, or
cartoon-inspired, can be brought to life by us. Handmade Soap Boxes are an
excellent way to distinguish your goods.
We strongly suggest you create a branding guideline for
your project so that every piece of packaging you create reflects your brand's
vision and values. In the gallery below, you'll find some unique soap packaging
options.
