Re: Re: Bath and body product tags

[Guest guest]

I've been thinking about this subject for awhile and I've also been looking at

what commerical companies are doing. When we have small areas to cover, I'd much

rather use the important stuff on the product itself.... what it is, what it

does, weight, how it works and/or directions. I also want high quality labels

and of course the larger the more expensive they are. So, I've about decided to

do what I've seen the commerical companies do and that is to put the ingredients

on the packaging. I think it may can even be in the form of an insert. If we use

bags, then why not an inexpensive white sticker on the bag? or a small piece of

paper folded that is inserted into the bag.

I do not like the " hanging tags " look at all for myself personally. I'd rather

have it look more professional. Boxes for bars of soap is quite expensive. But I

think I'm going with shrink wrap--saran on the bars myself. I may place a

sticker on the back of it, else I don't know what else I may choose to do.

I'd like to hear from, (other than the hanging tag folks) what other ideas you

are doing.

But yes, I think business cards are a must. A small re-order form, catalog of

sorts would be good to also include with every order... a minimum to have our

website URL and contact info on something.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you guys! this topic I'm really excited

to hear about.

I use Avery templates for many of my soap and B & B labels... Available at

www.avery.com

It's free, simple to use, and very flexible.

neat - glad you found something that will work for

you!

On my wish list I have a cricut [sp?] those things

look cool! They laser cut whatever shape you want. If

I really stay with tags I am thinking about using that

- looks like a lot of fun in any case! lo lWhat I am

not sure about is if you can print first and then line

up the cuts. I don't know that much about them. But if

you can, ooh what fun! lol
