Custom Packaging

There is a famous saying that “cleanliness is next to godliness” and the most commonly used cleansing item is soap. It is an essential commodity needed by everyone, men and women, young and old. On average, a person uses 100 grams of this cleansing item per week. There are hundreds of types of soaps available in the market ranging from beauty, whitening, bathing, washing plates, laundry, automobile, pets, anti-bacterial, anti-acne, and so much more. The only thing that remains common in all these types is the soap packaging.

The consumers of this commodity can be categorized into three types. Majority of the people purchase these cleansing bars from the store around the corner. But there are some who like to prepare it at home for them as well as send them to their loved ones. Then there is the third type of consumers who prefer homemade products but cannot make them due to certain reasons. The third type of consumers then look up to the second category users and want them to sell their products to them.

The demand for homemade items has increased many folds during the past few years and today it has become an industry. According to a study conducted in 2017, the homemade soap industry was worth around US$150 million. It is estimated that the value will rise to US$220 million by the year 2024. This trend has also increased the demand for the soap boxes at the domestic level. The domestic manufacturers use these casings to keep their product protected and send it to the local store or the buyers directly. But there are some manufacturers who want to make the soap packaging at home in order to give it 100 percent organic and homemade look. Those who are working in the business for some time know how to do the wrapping of the bars. But for those who are new to the race, the following guide will help them to learn how they can wrap up their domestic product in a stylish way.

Corrugate a trusted substance

Corrugate stock is a trusted material used to keep the items protected not only during the shipping but also while they are displayed on the shelf of a store. As a manufacturer, you can handle the stock easily and wrap it around the bar. Tie the corrugated board with a fancy ribbon and your package is ready to sail.

Painted papers

If you have no idea how to cover your detergent bar yet you want to make an impressive packaging then you should try personalized painted papers. Use watercolors and paint the papers to make interesting packages for your homemade items. You can reduce the cost to a minimum level by using the recycled papers. In this way, you can not only minimize the cost but also contribute to saving the natural environment. You can also use the colors to make them recognizable according to the ingredients that you have used to prepare the product.

Cloth wrapping

Using fabric for the packaging of this homemade item is another ideal solution. The scrap fabric that you might have thought to be useless can be useful for this purpose. Since you cannot cut all the clothes in the house for this purpose alone, you can contact local garments shops, tailors, superstores, and boutiques. Cut the fabric in the size that is suitable for your detergent. Put the bar in the middle of the cut piece and tie it gently. You can also attach a handmade tag of the type of the cleanser such as lavender, Shea butter, and peppermint. It will help the consumers to identify what type of material is used for the manufacturing of the soap.

Kraft stock

Kraft stock is a well-known packaging material due to its strength and resistant to environmental hazards. Usually, it comes in a brown colour but it is available in the market in different shades as well. It is a customization friendly material and you can mold it to the shape you want for the package to be. Since it is a strong and heavy-duty material, it is perfectly suitable for the packaging of more than one bar in a single package.

Another creative way to use this material is to pack the detergent in it and put a handmade tag on it. This tag can either be of the same colour as the Kraft you use for the wrapping or it can also be a contrast. Cut the tags in the same shape and size and make a hole at their top using the hole puncher. Tie the tag over the soap box using a fancy ribbon or simple thread only. Your safe and stylish package is ready to rock the shelf of the store.
