What exactly is the name for the small ziploc baggies we use for our scent samples?
I am trying to search the Michaels site but I don't know the proper name for the bags. Or is that where we get the baggies??
I am looking for the 1 1/4 x 2" size. Where do you get these and what do they cost?
Plus, what label do you use on the bottom of your jars and votives?
Thank you all, ladies!

Hi Vickie,
I get mine from Michaels, in the beading section. They come in a little
box (which is handy- they pull out one at a time!) and are called
"Bagettes"- they are a little larger than you indicated though- 2" x 3". I
can't remember what they cost, but they are fairly comparable to Walmart,
about $0.01 per baggie.
I pack my votives in the snack size ziplock baggies, with a tissue square
wrapping each votive. I include burning instructions (a printout 1/4
sheet) and include a laser label with my contact info and the scent on the
outside of the baggie. I use the standard size address labels from office
depot- the ones that have 30 labels per sheet. LMK if you'd like a
template.
I have custom made re-order labels that are waterproof that I use on my
jars- I put one on the seam of the label and then use one of my laser
labels on the bottom of the jar.

Just did a quick search - this looks to be an ok source of baggies - no minimum orders, but they do have a minimum shipping price of $3 (for small packages). I'm sure there are other comparable companies out there like this. I like the large size selection they have though - but I did notice there's a huge price difference between the 2 mil standard and one called "redline" - the inexpensiveness of the "standard" speaks to me smileys/smiley36.gif

Do most of you put labels on the very bottom of jar meaning you have to look underneath jar on bottom & put another label on the jar so people can see it right away?
Do people look under the jar or do you have to tell them to look there?

I just put my labels on the bottom of the jars - I noticed that people will naturally look there for some reason or another anyway smileys/smiley36.gif
