The tubes, discovered right here: http://www.bulkapothecary.com/containers/lip-balm-tubes-jars-and-tins/white-stick-standard-15-oz.lip-balm-tube/, are $0.14 every, does not embrace postage. So you can also make your personal for about $0.31 every. Since these are for me, a label is just not wanted, but when you’ll use them as items, you would possibly take into account making a label. Labels will give them a completed look. Not unhealthy. I can afford to maintain dropping these ;). Get pleasure from!
