As the holiday season approaches, soap makers often prepare products for winter markets and Christmas shoppers. Festive soap making supplies include seasonal scents, such as cinnamon and cranberry, and colors, like red and green, to catch customers’ attention. Bulk Apothecary offers soap molds with winter images that may appeal to holiday shoppers. Here are some molds to use for festive holiday soap:
Plastic Molds
Our plastic molds are available in various shapes and sizes, making it easy for you to find patterns suitable for upcoming holidays or events. They are also cost-effective, which allows you to replace broken molds or produce a variety of designs while staying within your budget. It may take more time to remove soap from hard plastic molds, but the final products will have a professional finish.
Winter Shapes
Seasonal soap molds may be useful if you create soap for a broad customer base. Customers might connect more with winter images like snowflakes and mittens than Christmas-specific designs. A tray mold patterned with stars may subtly capture the season’s spirit, and the remaining soaps could be marketable after winter has passed. Our plastic fir tree soap mold is versatile for layering colored soaps that result in flocked winter pine or decorated Christmas trees.
Christmas Images
Capture the spirit of Christmas with soap molds that depict classic holiday images. Bulk Apothecary offers plastic molds of ornaments, Christmas trees, St. Nicholas, gingerbread characters, and Santa’s sleigh. We also carry breakaway molds with imagery of doves, holly, and reindeer.
Many Christmas molds produce one patterned soap bar at a time. Though this extends production timelines, the molds can be used to create custom orders or limited edition products. They are also ideal for preparing small-batch soaps and homemade gifts for family and friends.
Silicone Molds
Silicone molds are flexible, making soap bars easy to remove once they have cured. These molds are also long-lasting and easy to clean. This makes them suitable for small businesses or dedicated hobbyists. Soaps made in silicone molds may take longer to cure, but adding sodium lactate to your soap making supplies can help harden your soap faster.
Most silicone soap molds are available in basic shapes, including squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals. These molds make between six and twelve individual soaps, enabling you to prepare quickly for a busy sales season. Our silicone molds are not patterned, which allows you to be more creative with your festive add-ins. Swirl together red, green, and white soaps to evoke Christmas themes in standard molds. Blend fragrance oils, like authentic cocoa or snowy evergreen, into melt and pour soap bases for a more seasonal scent.
Wood Molds
Wooden loaf soap molds are long-lasting and designed to produce large batches of soap. These locally made molds are designed for cold-process soaps and are available for two or five pounds of soap. Lining wooden molds with freezer paper helps prevent sticking so your soaps release with a professional finish. Each loaf can be cut into multiple bars, simplifying the soap making process while giving you flexibility in product size. Combining fragrances, colors, and other additives in wood-molded soaps allows you to create customized holiday products.
