I would order small because some of them smell of petrol. I have purchased high end soaps in a pvc wrap that stunk literally. So buy small and try it out first. PVC can stink.

I've tried shrink wrap, but I find that unless I double wrap the soaps (which looks revolting) the soaps tend to dry out and curl, which looks just as horrible after a couple of months. Best thing I've found are 4" x 6" shrink wrap bags, which I buy off eBay. I'm in England, but I'm sure there's someone on eBay US who'll sell them. I've got some soap I shrink-wrapped last June, and they're still perfect. Only snag is that you can't smell the soap through the wrap, so for markets and the like you have to have a sample for people to sniff at.

Speaking of markets, silliest question I remember was the other day, "How long will this soap last?" Duhh ... ?!

Hi. I was wondering which bag size you used? 4 x 6 or the 6 x 6? If the 4 x 6 is too small, did you have to cut some of the 6 x 6 down to fit the soap?
Thanks.

When I buy shrink bags, I buy 6 x 6 and trim them to size if need be.

I started out using Shrinkwrap but l can't stomach the smell you get even from the small bags.
