What Can a Dog Soap Box Say That Human Soap Cannot?
A dog soap box can present the bar as a grooming product for dogs, because a bar sold only to clean a dog is not a human cosmetic. The FDA guide to what it regulates lists unmedicated dog shampoo as a grooming aid that FDA does not typically regulate.
A flea or tick claim changes that, because FDA treats some flea and tick products as drugs and EPA treats others as pesticides. The EPA page on flea and tick products explains how those products are assessed before registration.
Keep the panel to cleaning words and leave out any promise to kill, repel or treat pests. With the wording settled, the next question is the size of the bar inside.
What Size Box Does a Dog Shampoo Bar Need?
A 5 oz dog shampoo bar of 89 by 64 by 32 mm needs a box 92 by 67 by 34 mm inside.
| Bar | Bar size | Inside box size |
|---|---|---|
| 3 oz small breed bar | 76 x 51 x 25 mm | 79 x 54 x 27 mm |
| 4 oz bar | 89 x 64 x 25 mm | 92 x 67 x 27 mm |
| 4.5 oz loaf cut bar | 83 x 64 x 32 mm | 86 x 67 x 34 mm |
| 5 oz pet bar, 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.25 in | 89 x 64 x 32 mm | 92 x 67 x 34 mm |
Once the box fits the bar it also has to sell from a pet store wall.
Which Features Sell Custom Dog Soap Boxes in a Pet Store?
A hanging tab sells the box in a pet store, because most shops hang grooming products on pegs instead of shelving them. We extend the back panel into a 38 mm header with a punched hang hole and fold it double for strength.
The outside sells the bar but the inside has to protect it from damp.
How Do You Keep Dog Soap Dry in a Grooming Room?
An aqueous coat on the inside face keeps damp from a grooming room off the board and off the bar. Glycerin pulls water from humid air and that dew soaks an uncoated box with a soft stain.
Skip sealed shrink wrap on a fresh cold process bar, because it traps the water the bar is still losing. We mark the coating and any vent on the dieline before you place the order.
