**Ebates
I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

**Airbnb
Whenever Caleb and I travel, we try our best to stay in Airbnbs. It's WAY cheaper than getting hotels and are often more personalized, comfy, and unique. We literally have stayed in absolutely amazing, private homes for $35 a night! You can use the link below to get $35 travel credit when you sign up. :)

It's 4:48AM, I've never made soap in my entire life and somehow I found myself here watching a video on how to package soaps...
Jen Talks Forever meee
Me too
Same
haha same here, getting good tips for packaging stuff neatly:)
sara mauritsson For all the soap I haven’t made... 😭😭😭
Me: hey, cool, there's a giveaway!
Also me: It was two years ago dammit
Lol same here🤦🏾♀️😂
Same 😢😂
ChronosKat same 😂😂😂😂
But like i ever win anyway....
Same here
I dont even make soap.
Or sell/ship anything.
Duder, I am addicted to your videos this much, lol.
Luigi me too lol
Dank Memes & Broken Dreams omg sameeeee
I don't know why, but "Duder"makes me smile.
You use soap though. So might as well treat yourself to one of hers!
Same here!! She’s got me so interested in learning though I’ve already talked to my husband about turning a corner of our garage into a soap shop and buying stuff to start making them myself.
This made me realise just how much work you put in, this isn’t a passing interest type of investment of time, you’ve put so much into this, you should really be so proud!
Quarantine has me watching soap videos. Anyone else watching in 2020?
Meeeeee!
Me
Yess😂
yes LMAO idk how she does all of that

From a consumer perspective id love to support more eco friendly packaging, given the use of natural ingredients and eco glitter additives.
Ricardo Trejo Do you really think straws are going to miraculously fix global warming? That was only the first step!
More recently she mentioned that she uses an eco friendly packaging now ☺️
This video is 2 years old. Shut up.
@@hsaito2002 climate change has nothing to do with plastic pollution. Its like saying making spaghetti twice in a week made the moon turn red
squishy booty squishy booty she is not talking about climate change though. Plastic usage and waste is a huge issue anyway, and I totally agree that I doesn’t make any sense to have an all natural eco soap with a plastic wrap. But I think she has changed her packages so good for her.
I don't know how I got here, but that is the most beautiful soap I've ever seen. That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd say.
Nasty Brattany right?! I am mesmerizedddd 😻
Eh, it has too much going on. Could be more simplistic
I HAVE LITTLE TO NO INTERESTS IN SOAP AND YET I CANT STOP WATCHING YOUR SOAP VIDEOS
ThatOneIntrovert 🤣
This is making me want to open up a soap shop. 😭😱😂
Grandeur Simplicity OMG same
Ditto!
Me to 😯
Where i can buy the ingredients for soap making??
Im from philippines please help..
Jhen Marcelo Gonzales my facebook
🙋🏼♀️ me too.
Why not go to an actual warehouse(not the post office- a factory- to buy the cardboard boxes, peanuts and tape you need?? A manufacturer would be so much cheaper than all the eBay shipping and cost fees. I get boxes 1000 for 2 cents a box and packing tape- 50 for 45 dollars....a printing company prints my labels1000 for 30 dollars-....Peanuts-to help the environment- I went to a shirt factory and asked them to sell me their left over shipping peanuts(they were trashing them)- so, I get a Toyota truck load for 10 dollars!(the cost of plastic bags to put them in!). ..online buying is killing your profit!!! I own a clothing store and I ship so much its crazy!!!!- search and find the manufacturers of your packaging needs and I bet you can cut your cost by 3/4. Oh, and be ready to deal, girl. Don’t ever accept the first quote!!!! Treat it like a garage sale item....a business always quotes the highest price in order to catch a person who doesn’t know how to deal. Rule of my thumb?? I go 25% lower than the quoted amount then, meet them in the middle of that. Example: the business offers me boxes for 1000 dollars...i say I will pay 750- they hassle and fuss then, eventually they will say they can’t go any lower than 870.....I say, we have a deal! Yes, I buy big orders of stuff but, you can buy what you need....If you live in a big city, someone has what you need!!! You just have to find them!!!! That’s the tough part. Don’t be afraid to ask.....what can they say? Yes or no- a 50/50 chance you will get what you wanted! Rejection just means you haven’t found your place yet...keep moving forward!!!! FYI: I priced buying all my shipping needs thru EBay, Amazon and a packaging store but, it was three times higher than what I was already paying. Hope this helps you- I’m not the best at explaining myself....LOL. Be blessed!!! Lovely soap!!!! And video!
jessica kiefer wow!!! Thanks for sharing all that!👍
Many times for home business is that storage is an issue. I know in my current situation I wouldnt be able to keep an entire truck load of peanuts in my space.
Can you link the links below?
jessica kiefer how much would you charge for a list of your suppliers for the labels boxes packing tape etc?
Can you share links
Did you find a way to replace all the plastic by something compostable? I know you found some things made out of corn. It could be great to update this video with the replacements. Thanks!
After buying one of her soaps the plastic seems to be the same! I still think her packaging is very minimalistic compared to her soaps as well as other companies! There are some alternatives but they are VERY expensive especially compared to what she’s using in the video!
Thank you Katie, I found this video very useful!!
Is your packaging still the same from 2 years ago ? If not I'd love an updated version of this !! 💕
Katie: You did a great job with your packaging. I think it is really awesome that you are teaching others how to package their products as well!
You're the reason I am making soap! Thanks for the inspiration! :D
The shrink wrapping is the most satisfying thing ever . I want to do one sooo bad lmao
you should make a crumb cake soap. cinnamon and vanilla...YUMMM
Sounds good
Rori July it’s hard to find a body safe cinnamon fragrance oil
This quarantine has made me want to start an Etsy where i sell soap, candles and oils😂
did you start?
@@ST-us7kq i did! My Etsy is LittleShopOfCraftsTM if you want to check it out
@@icarusnyxxx wow that's cool, i will definitely check it out
You have a very efficient set up. Thanks for sharing 😄
Wonderful video, and quite informative for all soap providers. I was trying to get soap packaging ideas to raise the efficiency of my products but due to less time I thought about hiring some agency and found BluebirdPackaging.com quite cheap and got free design support so all needs are taken care.
I never buy fancy soaps... probably won’t ever buy fancy soaps.. I am watching a video in its entirety on how to package fancy soaps.. this is my life now..
Would you please consider doing a video on marketing?
Bruh you're my age and successful af! Inspiration !
I love all your videos! I am a mom of three awesome boys and two of them have autism. I find your videos are uplifting and positive. My little one even watches with me. Keep spreading your positive attitude because it is much need in the world. Thanks for sharing you art with us.
Guerreira!
Wow... calm down people I think she is doing a beautiful job!!
My friend bought one of your soaps a while back and I used it on my body, and after I got out of the shower my skin was so soft I was shocked because it’s never been that soft, I loved it and I’m trying to convince my mom to buy some.
thank to royalty soap me and my wife have started making soap and we want to extend to africa to empower the women there to at least create a job for themself
have u started empowerment ?
@@benitheisingizwe That's great.
I was worried about the soup melting from the heat gun. eeep
u know u can edit your post to say soap .......
Well lucky for you soup doesn’t melt 😂
Haha soup! What a fun typo! But for point of reference... Soap doesn't melt that easy. In fact...you got to cook it to get it to melt...with a crock pot or on top of the stove.
Same
I thought the exact same thing, but then I realized I was thinking of wax, not soap, oop
Royalty soaps: I don’t use glitter because it’s bad for the environment
Also royalty soaps: *uses styrofoam packing peanuts and plastic shrink wrap*
Hello your video and info are very interested, I started making soap in 2015 but am now trying to start my home base business. What took me so long to get started? it’s a long story, I’m retired now so I prayed and thought about it, now I came across your video and it’s very good to know, I usually use shrink wrap,a and it’s always nice to see other options and ideas, so I must thank you for your information. The only thing I don’t see the description box to get the information.
She reused packing peanuts that were with orders she had received. And there are biodegradable packing peanuts

YES!!!
he's never met me but I'm sure he must love me for leading his wife astray lol

I really wish you would use recyclable or even biodegradable materials! They’re not pricier when bought in bulk!
Yana Churiy Same. Non-recyclable plastic makes me sad.
Do you know where I can get biodegradable wrap? I’m in the process of starting up my body care business but I really want to be eco friendly.
@@ieb1223 the national shrinkwrap system has some! It's like $300 to get the whole system and I wanna get that when I can -- for now I use tissue paper instead of any plastic
Iyanna Jenkins I also highly recommend the national shrink wrap system!! It’s pricier but 100% worth the investment & you can use their biodegradable shrink wrap that’s made to go along with it
thank you so much for sharing because I'm having such a hard time figuring out how much to charge for shipping.
It was one of the hardest things for me to figure out too, don't feel alone! haha
Royalty Soaps are you doing well your hands look like you are retaining water. please take care we all care and love you
Diana H I absolutely am retaining water. I have cut out much of my salt intake, drinking loads of water, and eating leafy greens but am still retaining a lot. haha
annoush pattoukian we should have a TH-cam babyshower
Who is watching this in 2019??
2020....because Quarantine and why not?
No. I don't make soap. 😂
2020...
2020 anyone?
2021 anyone?
I want to win the give away so bad! I'm your biggest fan in Nebraska! I am not even a soap maker I am just hooked on your videos! I'm also old as dirt, I'll be 60! You are so fun to watch! Thanks!
I hope you win
I sell on eBay and was doing the whole routine, and started selling so many items I couldn't take it anymore and needed to cut down some step and cost anyway I could. Watching you do your labels made me nostalgic like, I remember those days. But then I found out about Rollo printers and it was the best time and money saving thing I have ever done. It's just under $200 and in the first year of using it I saved $3,000 in ink and big size sticker labels not to mention a ton of time. It prints perfect small 4x6 labels, no cutting no trimming, no paper wastage, it spits them out super fast, WAY faster than a normal printer, no taping them on, you peel and slap it on, and it uses heat transfer so you don't have to buy ink...EVER. If I remember right it's about .05 cents a label which is more than printer paper, but you save on using tape and lot's of time cutting and trimming and taping! Hope this helps someone. I know it helped my dad, I bought him one for Christmas.
Hi Tiffany, did u sell soaps? Please share some experience. I'm thinking of doing soaps and sell. Is Ebay better than Amazon? Thank you very much. Regards :Ana
@@anachristopher2973 Hello Ana! No I don't sell soaps. I mostly sell Christmas ornaments and makeup. Every sight has it's upsides and downsides and with every site you have a new audience and potentially more sales. There are people that have Prime memberships and like to buy from Amazon, and there are people that like to go to eBay and earn "eBay bucks" by spending there. So it's really up to you if you want to do one or the other or both. At the moment I make more money on eBay, but you do need to give it awhile to pick up and get a track record, positive reviews etc. so you start getting bumped up on the search lists. Even now some items sit there 3 months and I'm about to donate them and then someone buys one and they take off and within a couple weeks I've sold all of them. Anyways, hope that helps a little!
Katie would you please teach us how to make perfume oils?? thank you so much for posting this video.. love you.. big hugs 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Amazing woman
Never made a bar if soap in my life and not intending to. but I love your videos and i admire how you share your work with others
Salam from the Middle East
I just love all your videos. You are such a happy person that it makes my day better.
OMG you called it a potato peeler! My hubs makes fun of me when I use a “carrot” peeler on a potato! He likes knives! Lol!
Actually, the more proper name is probably "vegetable peeler".
Never made soap, I don’t intend to sell soap either. But I love how helpful this is to anyone who does want to and is starting out. A lot of the time it’s hard for beginner businesses to know how to do the smaller bits that all add up to making something look professional. So, sending you lots of love on behalf of all beginners xxxxxxxxxx thank you
Cool process. Have you considered a thermal printer for printing your package labels? It’s a money saver in the long run!
Blows my mind how helpful you are!
Can "soap-edge-peeler" be a job? This is my application. Thank you for your consideration :)
I dont understand why so many people want to use plastic wrap on their
soaps. I mean doesn't soap need to breath? I am really torn about it. I
really dont want to use plastic on my products, I don't see why it is
necessary. I have looked into the biofilm that is biodegradable. Idk
cant decide. I don't want to use plastic wrap because I don't want to aid in the pollution.
Wouldn’t biodegradable wrapping for soaps degrade because it’s touching the soaps?
Brain: how many soaps will you like to buy?
Me: Yes
You're so creative! I wish I could find a niche for myself. I consider myself crafty and want to open an online store but I am unsure how to make a profit and what to make to sell . I'm your age. Any tips on how to get started? Some bigger items people make are expensive to ship. I love to make stuff. Thank you for expertise! Great video very informative :) how did you know soap was your niche ?
snakeu you GOT NO JAMS I am!!
@@3levatedvibes296 what I am learning is that you just need to START. I went from selling cupcakes, shirts, cups, meal prepping, and now I am doing jewelry. I am very creative but my time is limited so I just started making jewelry as a "chill time" and then decided to start selling. I have been to business school and let me tell you that you won't learn anything there lol I have learned everything I needed off TH-cam. Just find something that you like to do hair, nails, jewelry anything, then just get focused and learn everything you can about it until you are a pro! Sounds easy but anytime you go into business for yourself it is going to be hard because it all falls on you, but the goal is to do things that make you happy in life-good luck hope this helped.
I'm on this video because I am researching how to be more efficient in shipping and packaging etc.
I just went to buy some soap and literally everything is sold out! 😢😯
Her soaps sell out in a matter of hours after release each month.
@@rabbit__ Hm. Seems like a reason to increase the prices a bit - unless it is possible to produce a higher volume.
the way she said "what a lovely stain " made me bust out laughing
I wish I had gotten the sealer you have instead of spending a blue zillion bucks on the industrial one I bought. Yours seems far more cost effective! Thanks for sharing all this info!
Awesome video, these types of instructional videos are very rare to find. I've been trying to start up a baking business but do not have enough information and don't even know where to start. I love the idea of making soap and you have your process down. Thanks for sharing you have inspired me.
That's very professional. I like your shrink wrap method
I don't make soaps im a cake decorator by trade but i though your video was clear and informative and thought you did a great job.
Your products are the Ben & Jerry's of soaps lol
The soap looks amazing
Ummmm where have you been my entire life?!?!?! Thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommending me this video!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
New to soap making & am even considering selling in the future. This was an incredibly informative & helpful video. Thank you!
It's so helpful to see your packaging processes, even though I sell something totally different I'm not very organised so seeing how someone else does things, helps me think of how to. I definitely need designated spaces for the different stages. Thank you for sharing and now I must check out your products, they are beautiful
I love, love love how professional these look by some simple packaging steps!
Wow im blowned away on you doing all this good job, I mean like holy s&^t you do a great job packing sealing and shipping It feel overwheiliming the amount of work you do Great job!
Very helpful starting my soap business after having my baby March 1st TY TY
Congrats realizing it's after March 1st!
Do you find that people miss being able to smell the bars when they are shrink wrapped or does some of the scent come through? I love the clean look of it.
I have ordered from her a few times. You can still smell threw the plastic :)
cebmom4ever through
Love rewatching videos. On the hunt for the red mixing video and I came upon this gold lol. Never boring♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What kinda of permits and buisness licenses do you have to have for soap making or making bath products?? Im having a hard time finding info that is clear about this process.
I make soap and bath products, I have a state business license.
XoMermaidBe do you have insurance?
Hi how are you? Quick question how much money would I need to start up a diy soap business? Could be I dumb question but I’m asking so I can know my budget.
She's said before that she started her business on a $500 loan. (from her parents)
I love you already. Just know that you have earned yourself a loyal fan from Nigeria😍
Super helpful, Katie! Thank you! 💗
Thanks so much for sharing so much!!! I just started making bath/body products & was trying to figure out HOW to do EVERYTHING you cover in this video. Thanks again for sharing & may your business continue to thrive! I also just subscribed! I dont wanna miss a BEAT! THIS video by FAR is the MOST informative I've found. God bless!!
Please please please make an updated packaging videos, I remember watching this when it came out… I’m 20 now!! I remember loving the asmr vibe I had gotten and would love to see if anything’s changed! Thank you for making these amazing videos!
Being a 24 year old that just found out you’re 26 right now and were 21 or 22 while making this video, I’m so much more impressed. You clearly kicked ass to build this company up to what it is today at SUCH a young age. AND YOU HAVE CHILDREN. Confuckingrats, girl 💛
These are soo cute! I randomly found this channel n i definitely am ordering lol
Just want to thank you for this video. Most people who have been doing this for a while don't realize how many small questions noobies have and gloss over small but important details. So, just wanted to say thank you again!
We definitely need an updated version of this, now that you found a different way of shrink wrapping ☺️
Really appreciate all of the information you packed in the minutes of this video. No wasted time or “ free styling” in the 16 minutes. Very informative and exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks, really good.
Awesome video. Thank you so much. I am coaching and consulting couple of brands and it helped me to learn a bit more. Thank you.
It's 5 in the morning and I should be asleep but instead I'm watching a soap packaging tutorial xD
Gotta say though, love it! I've yet to get my stuff together for my introductory loaf, but this is awesome to know before diving in
Cheap but plastic ain't good for environment. 😬
TH-cam is listening to me again....
The difference now, I’m totally not mad about it. I want to start making soaps and such and I was just talking about how the heck I would package. You’ve made this easier for me and I love that you’re using your knowledge to help others! You absolutely have a new subscriber.
Welcome to the Royal court we're happy to have you! :)
BTW phones totally spy on people, like no joke. If you start talking about anything; we'll say pizza for instance. Your phone will start showing ads, recipes, and coupon codes to you. So be careful when talking about business plans around electronics.
Lady you are an absolute gem. I just started a business for nerdy candles and soaps and I love your videos. You are super conscious of ways to reduce costs in you equipment while not sacrificing quality and you're a hoot to listen to. Thank you for being there to teach us newbies
Thank you for sharing! I'm still so new and have yet to actually ship anything but I don't want to go in blindly lol
I just went and made an account at you website for your soaps. I can't wait to buy some and you have inspired me to try and start making soap. I will be buying your kit and lots of your soap
Everyone is like “I don’t even sell soap or package anything”. Well... I don’t either but guess what everyone is getting for Christmas 😂 all gifts shall be shrink wrapped from now on lol
I'm just a Slime Maker. But I cannot stop watching your highly addictive videos, very satisfying to watch my dear friend...😍
Welcome to the Royal Court!! We're happy to have you join us 😊
I dont know how i ended up in your channel but loving it! The soaps super cute!
I love watching your channel and learning from you. Cheers
Anyone here in 2019😂😂😂
You are super organized and have a good system in place.🙂🏆
Please use biodegradable packing peanuts if you do not already do :)
Or info the clients that they can recycle them to the Fedex of post store.
YukiSkullDoll yeah i was going to suggest that as well! I'd love to buy one of these soaps but i don't want to support the disposable and non biodegradable packaging :/
I was going to buy some as well but then saw that you used plastic wrap and peanuts. It’s a lot of unnecessary plastic. If you used environmental friendly packaging I would purchase.
Ridogg81 that’s so stupid. You won’t buy a wonderful product because it is wrapped in plastic and has packing peanuts?
Tavonya Edwards not really stupid. I too was going to purchase but also don't want to support wasteful resource use. Our world is already suffocating from too much plastic we really need to speak with our wallets.
Now she just uses a bit of tissue paper. No peanuts:) but for the plastic, I think its pretty reasonable since it shows the product off while keeping it safe and sanitary
this video is from 5 years ago, but have you changed your process to use less plastic? If so are you going to do a video on it?
Every lady gets forgetful when the stork is coming. 💝
I like your blog shout out from Filipino new small youtuber
Can you film like... everything lmfao thats why i clicked its soothing to watch
I just check out your shop and profiles and ur soap cost 12 dollars per piece?!
I am in Australia and have just purchased your piping kit I am so excited. You are so creative
I'm hooked so I subscribed! I'm a newbie (ie: supplies ordered, but haven't made anything yet!) This channel is looking like it will be so helpful! Thanks so much!
WAIT YOURE FROM DALLAS SO AM I OMG ID LOVE TO BUY SOME THINGS FROM YOU IN PERSON IS THAT POSSIBLE????
No reply 😂
I’ve been looking to get into selling home made soaps, because my mother and I love doing it as a hobby. This video (and all your other instructional videos) have helped a great deal!! Thank you for being awesome and spreading the knowledge!!!
I need to use that heat gun on my body
GIRL WHAT
Lol 🙋me first
To shrink your body or to wrap it in plastic?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you have a video on how to print labels?
I don't even use soap, why am I watching this....
Your Mom what do you use?
Can anyone let me know if using shrink wrap and store them for some time, would the soaps go bad or rancid? Do they need to breah until hipping? Thanks.
SunRise Arts & Crafts I have soap that has been shrink wrapped for 3 or more years and they are fine. The soap going bad would be more based on your recipe and the oils you use. Some, like hemp oil, have a very short (6 months) shelf life.
I really like you :) I hope you think of an more environment-friendly way as you do with your little corn cups ☺️ thank you for teaching us many things about soap for free :) I think I got a new hobby!
