We constantly advocate for the use of sustainable packaging at the Handmade Seller magazine, but there’s one industry in particular that has a bigger challenge than most when it comes to using stainable material: the bath and body industry.
Why? Plastic packaging keeps things fresh and it allows people to see the product without the product being exposed to the elements. If you shrink wrap your bath bombs, they’re less likely to break during the shipping process. If you’re shipping or storing soap, you want that wonderful scent to be maintained.
This is why biodegradable shrink-wrap from National Shrinkwrap is so awesome. The kits do cost a bit, but since they also allow you to wrap multiple products at a time, it’ll eventually pay itself off in labor costs.
