It is much easier and cheaper to get us to help you design inserts that fit into our soap moulds so that you can customise them for your customers or even just for your own use. These inserts lie loose inside the moulds allowing you to simply remove and insert a new one to make a completely different impression. This system make it much more cost effective to have different logos for different customers as you no longer need to make an entire new set of moulds from scratch .
