I took Matt's suggestion and peeled the transfer tape off the top of the design. I also peeled the turtle "sticker" off the carrier and re-placed just to make sure the customer won't have any problems removing it. That stuff reminds me of fruit roll-ups.

I created the interior sheet with Corel, and just flipped the top so when it folds over, it's facing the correct way.

I purchased the bags from www.clearbags.com in just two sizes. I think I will buy some other sizes this week to accommodate other designs.

I purchased a slew of small 2ml plastic bottles with sprayers and a cap from 2ml Natural Spray Pump with Cap
and filled them about 3/4 full. When I tested out a package with a friend, he said he had enough to put the decal on and plenty left over.

And violia!

I don't think the resort will have ANY problem getting $25 a piece for those!

You are very correct, they would definately look better with the turtle head showing. I just bought two sizes of bags to begin with, but I'm going to purchase some other sizes this week so I have a variety. I was anxious to get some of these on the shelf this week because I don't want to lose the momentum (or the summer season), many have been asking for them since they've seen my two "test" ones out there. And I need to start making some moola!

I made an insert sheet in Corel longer than the bag. I "flipped" the text on the top so that when I folded it over in the bag it would look correct.

Very nice packaging and I love the turtle design. Obviously you did not purchase a zip top poly bag if the insert sticks out of the top of the packaging. What kind of bag did you purchase and how do you keep it closed? Also do you tape the decal to some sort of backer material to keep if from getting bent when the package gets handled?

Bags are bought at www.clearbags.com , they have an adhesvie strip to close them and a nice notch at the top for hanging. The decal is already stuck to the heavy paper that the decal material comes on, so no, I don't add any additional material.

Great links on the packaging and bottles! Thanks for posting.

18 cents each for the bottles but there is a 50 dollar minimum.so youd have to order to sets which would wind up giving you 480 bottles.I saw this site before I found my supplier.

Awesome Vida! Keep up the great work! Your rollin now!

RockRebel · July 25th, 2010

I put my rhinestone decal on without using the liquid. Does the liquid help with the adhesion to the window or is it just to make it easier to position?

CyberSultan · July 25th, 2010

It helps with the positioning.
