Packing soap: Finding the optimal material

Soap today is an extremely diverse product. In addition to the "classic" solid soaps for regular hand washing, liquid soaps for the soap dispenser are very popular. In addition, there is a growing number of shampoos and shower gels that are sold in solid form. For these reasons alone, diversity is also required when it comes to packaging for soap: At packaging warehouse you can find different packaging products made of different materials - so you have numerous options to pack your soap - safe, hygienic and stylish.
DIFFERENT SOAPS, DIFFERENT MATERIALS
Depending on the type of soap, different packaging materials are needed to ensure the necessary protective properties. In this respect, for example, it is more demanding to package liquid soap. But even solid soaps have their own packaging requirements. However, there are adequate solutions for both cases.
PLASTIC FOR LIQUID SOAP: The fact that any packaging and packaging material has certain barrier properties is a basic prerequisite for its use. However, these barriers can work in both directions: For the flawless quality of the soap, it is essential to protect it from the penetration of liquids. Conversely, packaging for liquid products must prevent them from leaking.
That is why only plastic comes into question for liquid soaps. This has the necessary liquid barrier - and also reliably stops many other external influences that can have an undesirable effect on the soap.
PAPER AND CARDBOARD FOR SOLID SOAPS: With a solid soap, there is no fear of it leaking. Nevertheless, it is important to protect it as well as possible from external influences. Under certain circumstances, however, the soap packaging "only" plays the role of outer packaging. In this case, it is above all the visual benefits that count.
However, our packaging solutions made of paper, cardboard or carton always meet the requirements placed on them in principle when it comes to the protective function. All our boxes and cartons are made of robust materials and therefore provide sufficient security even in case of classical consequences of transportation and storage (such as damage due to impact, pressure, etc.).
SOAP PACKAGING - BUT NATURAL
The range of soaps extends from products for everyday use to exclusive variants. Natural ingredients are playing an increasingly important role in providing customers with an experience for all the senses when washing, showering or bathing. The soaps should feel good in the hand and on the skin, spread a pleasant odor and also stand out visually from "conventional" products.
You can convey the associations of naturalness and well-being to your customers already with the soap packaging - through the appropriate selection of the material. You can get our various folding boxes as light brown natural cardboard or grass cardboard, which have the right look. In addition, they have a rougher surface texture compared to other soap packaging solutions. As a result, these two materials also give your soap packaging a more interesting feel, which you can use to further enhance the visual impressions.
So not only your soap offers something for the senses, but also the packaging. Of course, the excellent printability remains unchanged. This gives you the opportunity to pack your soap attractively and make the very first encounter at the store shelf an experience - a real pre-taste of the pleasure that will follow later on.

The different forms of soap and the materials that go with them result in different approaches to packaging the respective soap in the best possible way. The packaging warehouse product range offers a wide range of solutions for packaging liquid and solid soaps safely and attractively. We will introduce you to some of the possibilities.
