Soap Belly Bands

What are soap belly bands and why do I need them?

Soap belly bands are custom printed paper wraps that go around the middle of your soap bars. They serve multiple purposes – they display your branding, logo, and product information while keeping your soaps protected and looking professional. If you’re selling handmade or commercial soaps, belly bands give you that retail-ready appearance customers expect. They’re also great for adding ingredients lists, usage instructions, or your company story without cluttering up the entire soap packaging.

What’s the minimum order quantity for custom soap belly bands?

Our minimum order is just 100 pieces, which makes it affordable for small businesses and startups to get professionally printed belly bands. We don’t have a maximum limit either, so whether you need 100 or 100,000, we’ve got you covered. Larger orders typically qualify for better pricing, so reach out to discuss bulk discounts if you’re planning a big production run.

What sizes do soap belly bands come in?

We offer completely custom sizing to fit any soap bar dimensions you’re working with. Our most popular standard sizes are 2″x8″, 2.5″x9″, and 3″x10″, but we can print belly bands in literally any size you need. Just measure your soap bar’s circumference and height, and we’ll create bands that wrap perfectly around your product. Custom sizes don’t cost extra – you get the same great wholesale pricing regardless of dimensions.

What coating options are available for belly bands?

We offer three main coating finishes to give your belly bands the perfect look. Gloss coating provides a shiny, reflective finish that makes colors pop and creates a premium feel. Matte coating gives you a smooth, non-reflective surface that’s elegant and sophisticated. Spot UV combines matte background with glossy highlights on specific areas like your logo, creating amazing visual contrast. We also have uncoated options if you prefer a more natural, earthy aesthetic for handmade soap brands.

Do you provide design services for the belly bands?

Yes, we offer completely free design support with every order. If you already have artwork ready, our team will review it and make sure it’s print-ready. If you’re starting from scratch, we can help create a custom design that matches your brand vision. We provide design templates in various formats to make the process easier, and our designers work with you through revisions until you’re completely happy with the final design before printing.

How long does it take to receive my soap belly bands?

Standard turnaround time is 6-8 business days from when you approve the final design proof. This includes printing, finishing, quality checks, and preparation for shipping. If you’re on a tight deadline, we do offer rush production options that can get your order completed faster – just let us know your timeframe and we’ll work with you. Keep in mind the turnaround clock starts after you’ve approved the design, so reviewing proofs quickly helps speed things along.

Is shipping really free, and where do you ship to?

Yes, shipping is completely free on all soap belly band orders, and we ship worldwide. Whether you’re in North America, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else, there’s no extra charge for delivery. We provide tracking information once your order ships so you can monitor its progress. International orders typically take a bit longer to arrive than domestic ones, but we work with reliable carriers to ensure your belly bands arrive safely and in perfect condition.

What file formats do you accept for custom designs?

We accept all standard design file formats including PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), PSD (Photoshop), and EPS. High-resolution files work best – we recommend at least 300 DPI to ensure crisp, clear printing. If you’re not a designer and only have JPG or PNG files, that’s okay too – we can often work with those. Our team reviews every file before printing and will reach out if there are any issues with resolution or formatting that might affect print quality.

Can I order different designs in one order?

Absolutely! Many of our customers have multiple soap varieties and want different belly bands for each scent or product line. You can split your order across multiple designs as long as you meet the 100-piece minimum per design. This gives you flexibility to brand different products uniquely while still getting wholesale pricing. Just let us know how you’d like to divide the quantities when placing your order.

What makes your belly bands high-quality compared to printing them myself?

Our belly bands use commercial-grade cardstock and professional printing equipment that delivers significantly better results than home printing. The colors are more vibrant and accurate, the cuts are precise and consistent, and the coating options add durability that protects against moisture and handling. Home printers often produce uneven colors, paper that feels flimsy, and edges that look rough or misaligned. Professional printing also saves you massive amounts of time – instead of spending hours printing and cutting, you receive perfectly finished bands ready to wrap around your soaps immediately.
