One advantage of cigar band labels is that they are easy to make, and can be printed simply at home. However, a drawback of cigar bands is shrinkage: Even after you label it, the soap will continue to cure, and when water evaporates out, the soap shrinks a bit. The advantage of shrink wrap is that it’s a nice, clean, well-protected covering for your soap. The disadvantage is that unless you leave a part of the label open, you can’t smell it....
