Truly -sample bags the most cost-effective but versatile sample pack I've come up with.

Be sure to attach a biz card to your sample packs (or put it inside) - this is just one example. This one is printed front & back - you are welcome to use the template to print your own (but it is done in Publisher 2000 and there's just not another option - Word doesn't do layout the same as Publisher, although I'm sure you could design your own in Word in a similar style.) Vistaprint.com is a good, inexpensive source for some various styles of Biz cards, although they are imprinted on the back with the Vistaprint Logo. And of course the full-color cards you can order from Country Bunny are wonderful quality & cost-effective (I don't know if you have an option of printing anything on the back or not)

Salt Scrub -

Works just fine in 2" x 3" zip-locs. Don't fill them too full and be sure to let the excess air out when you seal them to help keep from leaking. Salt scrub is definately a single-use sample - so why bother putting it in a costly plastic container? Plastic zip-locs can be purchased from most craft & hobby stores, and from many of our Business Links very inexpensively.

Lotion Bar

This is a no-brainer :) Just buy the awesome ready-made samples from Country Bunny - cost-effective, professional-looking, DONE. Be sure to put your name sticker on the back of all your samples. By the way - I thought I was getting the best price on blank label sheets from Sam's Club - I was wrong. Roteck has MUCH better pricing even than Sam's!

OMH Soap Bar -

Use a clean, dry surface and utensils such as a Crinkle Cutter (call your favorite Pampered Chef consultant LOL - it's a great reason to have a PC show!) or a clean paring knife to cut your Soap Bar lengthwise into 3 pieces. Then cut each of those long pieces into smaller "mini-bars" - I generally get 30-33 mini-bars out of a soap bar. Again - 2 x 3 ziplocs are great!

Body Butter

Here's where the majority of the cost of samples goes. For Body Butter - it makes sense to me that I use the flat 1/4 ounce poly-cons (available from  Consultant Corner, Paron, and other suppliers). The lid is attached, it's very handy to pop into your purse or pocket to use throughout the day - and with a custom laminated sticker on top (Roteck.com) - your name is going to be in front of them EVERY TIME they use it or pass it to a friend! And it's easily re-fillable!

Voila!

You're ready for your next craft show or fair with a basket full of eye-catching sample packs!
