Packaging to Suit Your Brand
As makers, we put in a great deal of time and effort to learn our craft. We want the best quality product so packaging often takes a back seat. After all, the product is the important thing, right?

Not exactly. Although a skillfully created product is important, packaging sells it.

The goal of this issue of Making Soap is to help you take another look at packaging, not only from the maker side, but also as the user. It can mean the difference between selling and not selling or a treasured gift over one tossed in a drawer and forgotten.

Read this issue and decide the best options for you.
