Your shampoo bar needs somewhere to live.
Custom shampoo bar holders and shower shelves for solid hair care brands, designed to your bar, branded with your logo and made in Canada. It's the same process behind the 5,000+ shelves we've made for Rocky Mountain Soap Co.
The first objection to solid shampoo is where to put it.
A liquid shampoo comes in its own bottle. A bar ends up on a ledge, in a corner of the tub or in a soap dish built for something else, and most of those leave it sitting in water.
A wet shampoo bar goes soft and gets used up fast, and the customer decides bars don't work. You lose the reorder and the convert. A holder built for the bar answers the question before the customer asks it, keeps the bar working the way you formulated it, and puts your logo at eye level in the shower every morning.
How Rocky Mountain Soap Co. launched its shampoo bar.
Rocky Mountain Soap Co. was launching a solid shampoo and needed a place for the bar to sit in the shower. We designed a shelf around it: three bays, slatted floors so each bar drains and dries, and the Rocky name across the front.
They approved a branded sample before committing to anything. Then we made the first 1,000 units in Canada, and those sold through in a month.
The shelf has been reordered four times since and has passed 5,000 units, with no container order and no warehouse of stock. A new colourway is in production.
5,000+ madeFive things a shampoo bar holder has to get right.
Air under the bar
The bar sits on rails or an open lattice, not a floor, so the underside dries between showers instead of softening.
Water runs off, not in
Decks are slatted or crowned so water runs away from the bar. A flat floor holds a film of water, so we don't use one.
Drains you can rinse
Shampoo gel clogs enclosed channels. Every drain path is open, so a quick rinse keeps it clean.
Mounting that holds
Wall ledges have a flat back and mount with industrial adhesive tape, so there's no drilling and no suction cup to let go. Counter and tub-ledge shelves stand on their own.
A logo that lasts
The logo is recessed into the shelf rather than printed on, so shower spray can't wear it off.
Wall-mounted or freestanding.
Wall-mounted shower ledge
An open lattice deck on a flat back that mounts to tile with adhesive tape. Holds one bar or a shampoo and conditioner pair.

Freestanding bar shelf
A multi-bay shelf for the tub ledge or vanity, like the one we make for Rocky. Each bay is sized to the bar it holds.
