Soap makers who want to give their creations as gifts or start a soap-making business can select from a variety of creative packaging options.
The Worth of Handmade Soap Packaging
If you're new to soap making, you might be more concerned with creating the perfect bar of soap than with coming up with appealing packaging ideas. There are, however, a number of compelling reasons why the packaging you select should be carefully considered. Consider the following example:
Handmade Soap Packaging makes it clear that your soap is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted creation rather than something purchased in a store.
If your soap contains specific ingredients or has a distinct scent, the packaging can convey this information.
If you plan to sell your soap, the container could serve as a brand extension.
When soap is combined with other complementary products such as body lotions, bath bombs, or other cosmetics in a gift basket, the packaging can help to emphasize the theme of the gift.
Ideas for Handmade Soap Packaging
Handmade soap packaging does not have to be difficult or expensive. If you're looking for simple packing ideas, consider using cellophane or polypropylene, gift wrap, fabric, handmade washcloths, or scrapbook supplies left over from previous paper crafting projects.
Cellophane or Polypropylene
Cellophane or polypropylene can be used to easily package handmade soap. These transparent polymers are available in sheets or bags. Customers can see your work through this clear packaging, whether you make shaped soaps or soaps with ornamental decorations within the bars.
Giftwrapping
Gift wrap, which can be found in stationary or office supply stores, is another excellent packaging option for soap makers. Individual bars can be wrapped in a themed gift wrap and tied with a beautiful ribbon. If you prefer clear packaging, you could wrap the soap in cellophane or polypropylene sheets and use the gift wrap to make decorative tags.
Fabric is an unusual choice for Soap Boxes For Homemade Soap, and it can be obtained at a low cost by recycling clothing from garage sales or thrift stores. Wrap strips of denim around the soap and tie with a lather cord, for example, to give it a western flair. A feminine packaging alternative for floral scented soap is silk cloth wrapped with a sheer ribbon.
You could sew reusable fabric bags to use as unique packaging for your handmade soap if you know how to sew. Soap packaging could be made using a gift bag template from Craft and Fabric Links.
Washcloths Handmade Produced
Consider dual-purpose packaging to turn your soap into a multifunctional gift. If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, you can make lovely washcloths that double as basic soap packaging. Crochet Pattern Central has a plethora of crocheted bath item patterns, whereas SirePrinting has a basic knitted washcloth pattern.
Scrapbooking Supplies
If you enjoy scrapbooking as well as making soap, put your scrapbooking supplies to good use by creating unique soap packaging. Wrap the soap in lovely patterned scrapbook paper, then add stickers or other embellishments to add a little pizazz to the presentation. If you prefer rubber stamping, you could make your own ornamental paper out of plain cardstock.
Complete Soap Box And Other Item Covers
Dropping your soap into an appropriately sized box is a simple way to package it. Soapboxes are widely available, and you can personalize them with your own label and/or graphics.
A custom box with a die-cut cutout is also an option. It has a professional appearance and a small window through which you can inspect the color of the soap. A soapbox, on the other hand, appears clean and polished even without a window, and all four sides can be used for writing and information.
Another option in the "box" category is the soap on the bottom. It isn't in a box, but it is completely wrapped in paper and labeled as if it were a Christmas present.
Custom means that you can order boxes from SirePrinting in any size, shape, or design. You will receive a one-of-a-kind package designed specifically for your soap. We can recreate any style, whether vintage, minimalist, flowery, or cartoon-inspired. Handmade Soap Boxes are an excellent way to distinguish your product.
We strongly advise you to create a branding guideline for your project so that every piece of packaging you design is consistent with the vision and values of your brand. Look through the gallery below for some unique soap packaging ideas.
