Re: mms_soap Selling Soap Bars

Now that's about the best idea I've ever heard. I'm ordering these tonight. Thanks Claire for posting this website url. I've been using boxes with the cut outs in the front and a label on the back for cp soap and for M&P I wrap the soap with a cigar band and use a light gauge shrink wrap over that.

Just to butt in here to this conversation, I also charge about $1.00 per ounce, depending on the recipe. The specialty type soaps I charge more for.
