Help from the experts! I am taking so much time weighing my soaps for labeling. It is rare that I can fill a 3 oz cavity with exactly 3 oz of soap and therefore I'm having to label each one differently after weighing each soap. This is very time consuming and I'm wondering if everyone weighs out each bar of soap in order to label them exactly what they weigh on their label.

I couldn't figure out how to join the soap swap because I don't know just how to make "4 oz. bars" exactly weighing 4 oz. when slicing them. (the requirement was that each soap weighs 4 oz.)

I've learned so much from reading everything on this forum and I thank all of you for your help and wisdom and ideas.

Warm regards,
boatygirl

When I cut mine, I weigh the first one to make sure it's over 4 oz. Then I continue to cut that same size. When I label, I don't put the exact weights, I put 4 oz even though the soaps are over 4 oz.

I do almost the same. I weigh each bar, because I just can't seem to cut consistent, or sometimes my design on the top of the loaf is higher and lower in spots making the weight different even if it is cut the same. I take the lowest weight and use that for all my bars. I figure if the bar is overweight the customer is getting the better end of the deal, but I never want to appear to be ripping someone off by selling a soap that is lower in weight than the packaging states.

boatygirl: I hope I can explain myself so you can understand. For Example if a soap weighs: 1lb 4 oz on a calculator you add 16 oz. + 4 oz = 20 oz , then you multiply that amount for how ever much you are charging for every ounce. Example: 20 oz x $ .50 an ounce = $10.00

2nd Example: soap weighs 2.5 oz. , 2.5 oz. x $ .50 an ounce =$1.25

I hope that helps you.
