I've been percolating on and experimenting with natural soap packaging for years...never hit on the "vintage look" that I really wanted. Until now, that is!
I'm thrilled to be thrilled, if you know what I mean. I just want packaging that I love enough to stick with! But also Easy. Quick. Recognizable. Vintage. ("Heirloom-ey"?)
I love that I can put lots of info on the "bag tag" since much of my business comes from shops and I am obviously not there to explain features & benefits of homemade soap. (Thanks to Paul at Celestial Gifts for the "folded tag" tip!)
The scent permeates the bag in a lovely way too, and I like that the bags can be re-used for holding small items, marbles, box tops, even potpourri for a drawer sachet.
It's fun to be re-vamping the operation a bit. New ideas for a new year. I'm sure all my soapin' buddies are working on new stuff of their own! Happy Soapin' to all. :D

Those look fab my friend- your best yet. So unique.
I just love these. I think your new packaging is perfect for Heirloom soapworks!! Way to go!!! xo Jen
Thanks ladies, I appreciate your kind words.....I also expect you to whack me up-side the head if I go messin' around and changing them anymore this year! LOL!
They look great Becky and the tag is a great idea! they must be nice and quick to pack as well, boy do I need that! it just seems to take me forever to print the labels and put them on.
One word: Perfect!
Thank you ladies! I feel really happy/content with these. (You all know that's HUGE for me! LOL!)
The only drawback I can see, is that you can't "see" the soap. When you get a nice-looking result you hate to cover it up, but I guess that it could be a happy surprise when they open the package. :) My soap is not very artsy, so I don't think I'm losing much with this presentation. The proof will be in how it does in the marketplace, I suppose. I'll keep you posted. :)
You've hit "heirloom" on the head! Great job! I'm a bit jealous at how easy they will be to package too. You know how time consuming that shrink wrap can be!
So antiquey looking! Love it.
Heh heh heh! I had "help" this weekend! Hired the young 'un to bag and tag the soaps -wheeee! :D
