bath bomb packaging

[lindsay]

Hey, i'm wondering if anyone could advise on what u's use for packaging bathbombs?? I sent my first products last week, and customer emailed to say that is had arrived broken I used a jiffy bag (one of those enveloped lined in bubble wrap)



Any help would be grand,

Hi I have been trying to solve same problem, was going to try putting bath bomb into clear bag and then packing into a box with shredded paper, will send one to myself to see if it works.

Will taht not workout really expensive though? My packaging is lovely bags tied withn ribbon.....

Don't think it would be too expensive and mine are packaged with ribbon on as well, check out the post office website for postage costs, think two of my bombs I weighed in box were about 400 grams and it was only just over £2 postage.

If I am sending just 1 bathbomb on its own I will either wrap it all around in bubble wrap a few times then pop it into a jiffy bag, or bubble wrap it and pop it into a box, depends what I have to hand really..

The weight of both ways is the same so the postage cost is the same, there is no difference in posting costs between a box and a jiffy bag

so far I have been luck and thay ave all arrived in 1 piece

Search on ebay, you can get some good deals and most I have seen are free postage and packing

In all honesty some boxes can work out only a touch pricier than the correct sized jiffy bags. There are lots of places to get them from for really reasonable prices

or tubes can be good if you are sending a few bath bombs (you have to make certain sure the tube is wider than your bomb though (I learnt that the hard way hee hee)

Better to pay a little extra for the box (which you could always add onto your p&p charge if you wanted) than have to keep replacing broken items

Try postal tubes cut down to size. this was advised to me by a packaging company. it does cost a bit. i found my local 'Mailbox etc' very helpful.
