well least FCS is cheaper than the other one i found.    goodie - no idea why i cannot bring those in, although shipping will be a bit on the heavy side here girls.  Weight factor will apply, and no way to airfreight this will have to be by seafreight due to weight.
only way to keep the costing down.

Righto - sending off an enquiry right now to them re bringing in some stock and seeing how far can twist their arms on discounts and wholesale pricing...

they do lots of other goodies too, but their HDPE Log Mold design isn't that good, it's the same as mine and makes it difficult to get soap out if it is a bit soft.

cool -  oh - are soapers looking for things like cinamon sticks, dried fruit slices, celophane wrap, jute twine and raffia twine, wood or bamboo soap holders etc as part of the packaging range - or is that stuff all easy to get anyways?

For some accessories it might be worth remembering that you will be in competition with some of the big guys - specialist packaging sounds good though

I just thought of something - PVC downpipes from the US...lol...sounds funny, but they seem to have all sorts of funky designs and shapes for them, not just plain old round....and they do them in several different sizes.

Goodness, what a whirlwind!

I was looking before for squeezy tubes, the sort you use for handcream - soft plastic.  

For something like a soap cutter, it might be better value to commission a local carpenter to make them to order - then you're supporting local business too.  

Welcome btw!

You'd need a hot crimper to seal the ends.

No - a hot crimper is hotter/tougher than the heat sealer you'd use for shrinkwrap, not sure what you mean by a GHD though.

That is a great idea, maybe have a chat with  Eire also about molds also.
