Melt & Pour: Packaging
Note: More pictures will be coming soon!

With Melt & Pour soap, its essential to keep it packaged well. If you don't, humidity will make the soap "sweat". Here are a few things to try:

Plastic Wrap:  This solution is great for the hobby-type soap crafter, or someone on a budget. It works great and really keeps the soap "fresh". This helps minimize sweating and helps hold in the scent. You can stretch it very tight over the surface, and with enough practice, get a nice appearance!

Cello Bags:  These do a pretty good job at keeping moisture out, but not as good as plastic wrap or shrink wrap. They do make for a beautiful display when tied with raffia or ribbon!

Shrink Wrap:  Though this packaging technique takes some practice to master, it creates a nice end product to display. It works great for keeping moisture out and sealing in the scent. This is a more costly way to go - although most of the expenses are inital start up expenses. It creates a nice, long-lasting presentation, though.
