Maybe a sign that says wiff the wrong soap and you will get a slapping  :mwaha:  Nah seriously I hear you............have thought about the heat wrapping as that will just form to the soap.

Vanilla - I did think of that but I put ribbon round the sides of the tin, so the sticky tape might ruin the look of the tins But I'll be changing packaging next year cos the ribbons are annoying me so I'll keep this idea in mind  :buttrf:

Soap like yours is so much better displayed unwrapped though Lynnz, & I'm sure it attracts more people to the stall that way.  I think people handling & sniffing things is inevitable.  You just have to do your best to try & discourage them handling your sale stock too much, with things like you are doing with putting samples at the front.  (I haven't had a stall but have worked in few shops so know how people maul things & open packaging ect- it is very annoying!)

Polly - I was thinking small round labels, thought it might look better than a strip of tape.  But yes if you have ribbons around it might not look right.

I quite like packaging where the sticker on the top has tabs that go over the top and stick to the sides of the jar - it can look quite nice and you can tell no-ones opened it. More ideas for next year  Cheesy

oh IKWYM- I like that too, but I guess you'd have to have them specially printed?  Could be expensive.  Does look good tho, worth investigating.

I thought that if you print the labels yourself, you could print the smaller strip, place over the lid and down the sides, then pop the round label over that. Should look ok if done well?

Good thinking polly!  That is a fab idea, come to think of it I think I may have seen it done like that, so yes it would work.

Love the angle of the boxes, and the different colours of the soap, but you do need more signage an hight as mentioned before...good luck on your next event... :buttrf:

Your soaps are soooooo pretty!  I love the boxes, but I think dimension would show off your beautiful soaps more.  Maybe stack one of them on another (turned upside down) and angle.  Add small tags describing the soaps and a banner (as mentioned).  You can make stairs (any size) with heavy cardboard and glue fabric or felt over them (they hold alot of soap too.  I can post the directions if you are interested).  You can also add a table top cover (over the table cloth you have), table runners (seasonal if you have them), doilies, etc. to cutesy it up Smiley.  This time of year, I add a letter from Santa on a coiled frame... anything to make people stop  :mwaha:
