Packaging for 4.5 ounce bars
When considering packaging, I did much research to consider what would work best for me. I knew I wanted to utilize recycled products that could then complete the circle of recycling once again. I also considered packaging cost and the image or feel I wanted for my product. I wanted a look that was not too fussy, unique, feasible( in terms of how much time each soap would take to wrap), cost effective, recycled and recyclable, easily sourced,packaging that would allow the soap to breathe(you can smell the soap /although obviously I had to sacrifice visibility) and for now this packaging meets all the aforementioned criteria. I am very happy with it, I have had to "practice" some-as it is not fully cooperative on occasion, but overall- I love it -it feels like me. The paper and labels are 100% recycled post consumer waste (a very important criteria for me) that is then able to be recycled yet again.Yay!
Packaging for rounds
Packaging for shaving rounds and pumice buffing rounds will consist of unbleached coffee filter packaging with the same 100% post consumer waste labels for a completely recyclable package we love!

The packaging looks great!
Thank you! They are a little bit of work, but they are a labor of love. I guess I am just such a nerd I enjoy wrapping soap.
Sensational new packaging! I am in LOVE with it. Love the branding, the natural look, the Verde... all in all I LOVE IT! Is it a lot of work? I am finding with my packaging lately that I just can't keep up as I have to individually gift wrap each bar... dare I start to look again for some sort of simple box or bag? Congrats. You products look wonderful as well as you packaging. xo Jen
Love your packaging! For markets, I like to do naked soaps, but when someone orders online I am stuck because I cannot just send them a naked bar of soap...hm. Thanks for posting - beautiful packaging!

Hi Caitlin,I am thinking I will offer some of both wrapped and unwrapped at market - there is just something about being able to see the soap - it sells itself.
I have been checking out your blog - beautiful soap you have there. The colors just pop.
Hi Jen,Thanks so much! I have been looking long and hard for just the right packaging.
Not being able to keep up with packaging sounds like a good thing Jen.You must be selling lots of soap. Good for you! I love the natural look of your soap and Spain must be full of inspiration.
I think it looks fabulous! Very simple, yet professional. You've done a great job with it!
Oh Michele, your new packaging is the bee's knees! I'm so happy for you -what a lovely look, clean, earthy, and VERY natural... I think it is PERFECT and I bet you're gonna sell TONS -Great Job!:D
