Save Money! Wrap Your Soap with Printer Paper! Pt.1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Due to overwhelming response about the packaging, this video is Part 1 of a 3 video series showing how to wrap soap using plain printer paper and creating templates to eliminate the need for separate adhesive labels.
The dimensions of the soap used in this demo are:
3.75 x 2.25 x 1 in
They're hand cut so the size fluctuates within a quarter of an inch. Part 2 of the series focuses on measuring the soap to prepare for creating the template. Thank you for watching!

This is what I was waiting for. Something I can use from items I already have. Thank you!
You're welcome! That was the intention of this video. I know what it's like starting out in soaping and not having lots of extra money for packaging materials or equipment -- or not wanting to spend extra money where it's unnecessary.
Hi Cristi and thank you lovely lady, so helpful and informative. Need to make my own soap labels and was really lucky to have found you , your practical advice has been invaluable .hopefully get this task done without pulling all my hair out....not as computer literate as you 😉😁 . Thanks again ,best wishes!
tysm for sharing your labels.. what a gem of a find here!
Super easy to follow instructions, Thank you!
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so helpful
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
This is very helpful. Can’t wait to see part two😁 Thank you!
You're welcome!
I think i just found my soap mentor.
Thanks for such a great tutorial! I will be watching for part 2.
You're welcome!
Excellent idea! 500 sheets for $6-ish is saving some pennies on packaging that's just gonna get thrown away
Thank you so much for this video. Have been trying to move away from shrink wrap and your video has helped me so much. Thank you ❤🙏
That's wonderful! I'm so glad it helped!
I really like this video waiting on pt2
Thank you!
Awesome! :)
which printer did you use to print that paper please
Hi! I I've used HP color laserjet printers exclusively for about 10 years now with no bleeding or smudging. The model I use is HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP m281fdw but I don't think they make it anymore. www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-m281fdw
Save your labels as PDF, open Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version). Go through print properties & set it for label paper. It heats the toner to a higher temp so it fuses with the paper better.
Are there any methods of speeding up the process. How long does it take to wrap the soap wo a demo? Would you average 1 bar a minute?
Hi! That's an excellent question! With paper wraps the process is slower. When I'm wrapping lots of soaps, I normally start off averaging between 1-2 minutes & gradually progress to about 30-45 seconds. A lot of it depends on the type of paper & adhesives being used. Cigar/belly bands & soap boxes are much faster than this method.
@@TheElementSoap Thankyou Cristi🙏❤✝️🕊💯😀
Thank you so much!! Very much appreciated! Thank you! ^-^
hi. where can I find a small heart or crown paper puncher? I see your paper label has a heart hole , right?
Hi! Yes it is a heart punch. I found it at Micahels. But it doesn't go up very far, so I fold the paper up from the bottom before I punch it. Here's the link:

Great idea! However, I'm sooo gonna try this, but I think using a dot runner would be more convenient.
Thank you & great idea!
Thank you for showing this. This is a great idea, but i think it is kind of hard to do it in word. Is there any chance you have a free template for the label in word?
Hi amarbros! Thank you for watching. I don't have a free template as of yet, but hopefully I'll get one done in the near future. If/when I do, I'll find a way to link you to it! Have an awesome weekend! ♥
Awesome, thanks a bunch!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing. Will the oils in the soap leach through the paper?
Hi! Thanks for watching. As long as the soap is properly cured, there shouldn't be any oil leakage. I usually allow my soaps to cure for at least 6-8 weeks before paper wrapping.
Thank you so much!!!! When will part two be up?
You're welcome. My goal is to have it completed by this weekend. It's finals and graduation prep time for me so my schedule is hectic.
What type of mold did you use please
I made a custom skinny mold using Coroplast. I need to film that one.
Thank you so much! ;)
You are very welcome!
I think this is great for not using sticky labels or shrink wrap... I guess I am wondering about the cost effectiveness of all the printer ink?
Hi, thank you! I had to find a solution because I'm allergic to the fumes that come off when using shrink wrap. It is pretty cost effective because I use a laser printer and relatively low or no color printing. It saves a lot of money in toner. I'm not sure that it's financially feasible when using inkjet printers though.
@@TheElementSoap That's what I was afraid of. I only have an Inkjet Printer, so buying Labels Online is cheaper for me than printing at home. But would have loved to have been able to do this!
ive been thingking doing this but im afraid there will be a mark of oil outside my packaging, ill try it ^_^
As long as your bars are fully cured there won't be oil stains
Thanks for sharing
