As you land on your own entrepreneurial journey in the bath bomb business, you might have been scratching your head as to how you can start to package these bath bombs.
You may have round bath bombs, imperfect-shaped bath bombs, and packs of bath bombs, but what do you do to package these for delivery, retail shop, and market use and also to make sure that they last as they should?
This blog post will look into some innovative packaging ideas, including those ideas that worked for different bath bomb businesses. We will also discuss the pros and cons of each idea based on experiences. Although that might not be a perfect analysis and may not work for you.
The naked packaging approach
The cheapest and most obvious way to package a bath bomb is to make it naked. Although it is the cheapest, fastest, and most sustainable type of packaging you could use. After the first few days, if you do not use them, they turn into this horrible dry, chalky blob of rock at the bottom.
The good:
- It is simple
- Eye-catching
- Inexpensive
- Quickly manufactured
- Eco-friendly
The not-so-good:
- It dries out easily
- It is very unsanitary
- Easily broken
- Dusts and crumbles
- Looks unfinished
- Absorbs moisture
- Hard to label
Shrink-wrapped approach
Shrink wrap packaging is simple, inexpensive, and helps with all the issues of naked packaging.
The good:
- Simple, eye-catching, and inexpensive
- Sanitary
- Helps preserve oils
- Helps to keep the structure
- Great for retail
- There are eco-friendly options
The not-so-good:
- It takes more time to package
- Not as professional-looking as it seems.
- Most importantly it is harder to label round bath bombs
Cellophane bag with tie
These are really easy to label with a simple little hang tag label. People use these mainly for their mini bath bombs when they have a little bit of extra powder.
The good:
- It is simple
- Easy to add a tag label
- Inexpensive
- Sanitary
- Helps preserve oils
- Helps keep the structure
- Great for retail
The not-so-good:
- It takes more time
- It is not as professional-looking
- Hard to use with uniquely shaped bath bombs.
Jewelry or organza bag design
You can use a muslin bag or any this kind of material you can use. I specifically chose to talk more about the organza bag because they are semi-transparent, simple, and inexpensive. Tags or labels are a breeze to add.
However, if it is not shrink-wrapped inside the bag, it will not help preserve the oils. It is more sanitary than naked packaging but not as sanitary as shrink-wrapped.
The good:
- It is simple
- Easy to add a tag label
- It comes in different colors
- Great for gift-giving
The not-so-good:
- It takes more time
- It is a little more expensive
- Dries out easily
- Not the best for retail
- Not as sanitary unless shrink-wrapped inside the bag
Craft bag
Customers talked mostly about this design because it was so unique. When they received their bath bomb packages, it felt like they got more than just a bath bomb.
The good:
- It is unique
- Easy to add a label
- Helps preserve oils
- Sanitary
- Great for gifts
- Helps prevent breaking
The not-so-good:
- It takes more time
- You have to package and label it
- It is more expensive
- Takes up more space
- Displaying them at markets wasn’t as eye-catching
Clear box with a little tie
This packaging solution is great for shipping and gifts, and it provides an upscale look.
The good:
- It creates an immaculate upscale look
- Easy to add a label
- Helps preserve oils
- Sanitary
- Great for gifts
- Helps prevent breaking
The not-so-good:
- It takes more time to assemble
- It requires more materials
- It is not eco-friendly
- Takes up more space
- Hard to use with uniquely shaped bath bombs
Bath bomb gift boxes
One of the entrepreneurs said in his personal blog about his bath bomb business launch. He ordered two different sizes of gift boxes for sets of bath bombs. Initially, he didn’t think about retail visibility, but now he uses clear bags for retail purposes so that people can see what’s inside.
You can use these boxes for friends and family or custom gift box orders.
The good:
- It has an upscale look
- It is easy to add a label
- Sanitary
- Great for gift bundles and multipacks.
The not-so-good:
- It is expensive
- Requires a filler
- Takes up more space
