Report on lotion bar containers

[Guest guest]

Hey, everybody. I responded a few weeks ago to a lotion bar container

question by telling about a customized oval-shaped plastic package I've been

working on. I wanted to give you an update.

I received 100 of the plastic units 2 weeks ago; these were produced with

the prototype tooling, and it allowed me to test them during a craft show

last weekend. My first observation was that it was so easy to fill these

containers--big target area with less spill and virtually no mess to clean

up. The bars released beautifully from the package, and so far, after 2

weeks, the package I've been carrying in my purse shows no sign of

wear-and-tear! Folks who've been using my lotion bars immediately recognized

the convenience of the container and they loved the way it looked. (I even

had several requests from existing customers who wanted to buy empty

containers to use with lotion bars they already owned.)

By the way, I increased my price for the lotion bars in the plastic

containers by one dollar (as compared to my molded lotion bars packaged in

waxed bags), and I sold all 100 of the " container " lotion bars in one

weekend. I'm thrilled!

Labeling is the next challenge to solve; for the 100 I did for the craft

show, I had someone cut out labels with a laser cutter, but what I need to

do is have a special die made. I will eventually have customized labels on

letter-sized stock that I can run through my computer.

Can you see me grinning with delight?
