Suppliers of labels & jars

[Jake Louis]

Hi Everyone
I need your help. I have been practising aromatherapy for the last 2-3 years but have onlybeen treating clients individually. Now, I am planning to sell my own products, so I am going through the process of getting labels, jars etc. The only problems is that I do not know where to go to purchase affordable but good quality jars, labels, lids etc?

Myownlabels.com[/b] was recommended and it was an excellent site. I purchased some labels from them and was really pleased about the price. But UK Customs are now charging for packages coming into the country and I was slapped with £11 charge, so I won’t be using this company again. It is such a shame because the labels were fab and had NO MINIMUM ORDER.

With regards to jars, I would love a good supplier where there is not a minimum order and also ones who supply sample jars i.e. 5 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml and larger jars and lids. I have found a few sites but they are expensive because you have to buy a certain amount. ANY IDEAS?

So much appreciated, Adamis

(PS. I have not internet access at home so please be patient with me).

Hi Adamis,
I recently bought some bottles from Essential Oils Direct ([link=http://www.essentialoilsdirect.co.uk]www.essentialoilsdirect.co.uk[/link]) and their prices were very reasonable - and they are really helpful too!

Thereis also company called F W Richardson that sells a very wide range of bottles and jars, but you need to order from them in bulk! They don't have a web site, but are based in London - if you call them, they will send you a catalogue.

Hope this helps

Hi Adamis
I get my bottles and jars from newdirectionsuk.com
They have a great range and you can buy in single quantities if you want but obviously the price goes down the more you get. They've got a great range of colours, shapes and sizes.
Can't help with labels though sorry, Iended up getting mine through the printer who did my leaflets and business cards.
Hope this helps,

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for your replies and sorry for the delay in replying to your posts. I will look into the sites you suggested because I have not had much luck so far.

Very much, much appreciated, Adamis

how do folks here deal with labels so that as soon as some oil drips down the bottle the label isn't ruined? Is there some sort of waterproof labels you can get?

Hi there,

Yes, I love the making of lotions and potions too! I was advised on my IFA course, though that we have to be very careful about making creams etc to sell to anyone who is not a client as you do not have people's medical history. What are other people's views/ experience of this. I would love to do more of this but have been put off as there are lots of regulations.

I get my jars etc from phoenix products, they have some basic plastic as well as blue and green glass.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
