Shrink wrapper for soap
by Rebecca

I am looking for a good shrink wrap for my soaps. I want something that give a bit of protection but allows the smell to come through - can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.
Answer:Hi Rebecca,
Do a search for 'packaging suppliers'....lots of hits come up. I found quite a few places that sell the equipment and film for shrink wrapping.
One note on packaging handmade soaps....while melt and pour soap is best wrapped in shrink film, cold process soaps are not.
Cold process soap benefits by being wrapped in paper. It allows the soap to still breathe and lose excess moisture. Moisture that would otherwise be trapped in the shrink film and can cause the soap to deteriorate faster.
Good luck,
Cathy
