Great Soap Packaging Tip - Printed Tape!

Hi everybody!  I have been meaning to post about printed tape for weeks now, but you know how it is as the holidays approach - busy busy!  So today I stumbled upon TapeSwell, an amazing shop where you can find printed tape, labels, coordinating combo packs... all in gorgeous patterns. 

What is so great about this stuff is that they have the look of ribbon with the polish of a professionally printed label, so your soaps will look amazing in a snap!  Whether you wrap it around a shrink wrapped bar or around a soap box, you will be so impressed by how "jazzed up" your packaging looks.  TapeSwell even has a "Tacky Ideas" page for inspiration.

If you like super sweet designs like I do, check out KawaiiYa which has all Kawaii style printed tapes (called "deco tape" in the Japanese stationery world).

For a sophisticated look, try washi tape, which is a beautiful paper tape (like masking tape) that you can tear.  It has a matte look and feel instead of glossy like the above tapes.  Cute Tape has an awesome selection, and an incredible gallery of customer photos. 

Feel like going on a Google adventure?  Try these searches to discover the world of pretty tape:

Have fun!

Hi Soapylove fans - I have some great news!  Bramble Berry is now offering 8 oz sizes of the Soapylove fragrance oils.  So now you can get more of the Tutti Fruity you blew through from the Candy Jar Fragrance Set, or the mouthwatering Strawberry Jam from the Delectable Desserts Set!  8 oz is a nice size which will last you quite a while.  Don't forget to check out the great Soapylove molds, too.  (Dare I say that Valentine's Day will be here before we know it?  I can feel the tomatoes being hucked at me already!).
