Print photos on bars of soap

4 years 7 months ago #656494 by MYoung
We’ll this has got to be the strangest request from a client.  They want their engagement photo printed or fused onto bars of handmade soap.  The bride to be makes soap by hand as a hobby, so she wants to work this into the party favors at each table.  Personally I can’t picture lathering up my privates on someone else’s face printed on a bar of soap.  But I’m not one to judge so I’m off to Google to find someone who can do this!

Thought I would share this with you as one of those strange request.  :)

My best suggestion-

Someone with a laser cutter/engraver might be able to burn a B/W photo image into a bar of soap. It would be best if that surface was as flat as possible to prevent image distortion. 

Another thought that might, or might not, work-

A thin soft paper like toilet paper might be able to be printed on via an inkjet printer, and then this photo placed in the center of a relatively clear bar of soap during molding. It would dissolve from the edges as the soap dissolved in use (if it ever did get used). Lots of experimenting would likely be needed for this.

Just my thoughts. I've never tried either. I hope you find a solution that is satisfactory.

I once printed a B/W photo on thin tracing paper to be the cover for a wedding invitation. Then, after approval, I printed 200 copies, the invitations, along with the addresses on the mailing envelopes. I lost money on the job, but it was for close friends.

Please report the end result and post a photo here.
