Soap Cigar Bands
The cigar band takes its name from the paper band on a cigar: a narrow strip around the middle of the product, carrying the maker and the variety. Soap makers have used the same idea for generations, because it leaves nearly all of the bar on show.
It is the lightest printed pack we make. The band carries the brand and the scent, the bar does the rest, and a new scent needs only a new band colour or name panel.

About this pack
What holds the band on?
The band is drawn slightly smaller than the bar and glued at the back, so the card spring grips the bar. It slides off cleanly when the buyer is ready to use the soap.
Is a cigar band enough labelling on its own?
For many face to face sales, sellers pair the band with the full details at the stall or on the listing. What must be shown is set by cosmetics rules and is your responsibility as the seller.
Can each scent have a different band colour?
Yes. One design with a colour change per scent is the standard way bands are run, and it keeps a stall display tidy and easy to read.
