Hi

I've shipped some large orders but instead of using bubble wrap I use

corrugated brown card. I find that much better than the bubble wrap

on two counts - one its stronger and two it won't make the soap

sweat. I used this last year on a large consignment going out from

Ireland to the US and had no problems. The butcher paper underneath

will be fine. The main thing is to ensure the boxes are packed tighly

with no room for the soap to move around in. The most I put in any

one box was 20kg about 50lb roughly which we then took to the

shipping warehouse and they paletised it for us to go into a

container.

logs per box and stand them on their end. You can see what our logs

look like on the front page of our website.
