The invention claimed is: 1. A process for making a packaged soap bar product, comprising the steps of: providing a bar of soap having opposed longitudinal ends; wrapping the bar of soap with a stiffening member having a transparent portion, the stiffening member including a stiff sheet material made entirely of a plastics material; wrapping the bar of soap and stiffening member with a wrapper having edge portions so that the edge portions overlap with each other and wherein the edge portions are secured to one another; wherein the stiffening member is wrapped laterally of the bar around at least a longitudinal extent of the bar; and the longitudinal ends of the bar of soap are not surrounded by the stiffening member. 2. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of wrapping the wrapper having the edge portions in a manner to entirely surround the bar of soap and stiffening member, which the wrapper comprises a film material at least part of which is transparent. 3. The process of claim 2 wherein the transparent part of the wrapper overlies the transparent portion of the stiffening member. 4. The process of claim 2 wherein the entire wrapper is of a transparent material. 5. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of securing the overlapped edge portions by heat sealing or adhesive coating. 6. A packaged soap bar product produced by a process comprising the steps of: providing a bar of soap having opposed longitudinal ends; wrapping the bar of soap with a stiffening member having a transparent portion, the stiffening member including a stiff sheet material having edge portions, the sheet material made entirely of a plastics material; and wrapping the bar of soap and stiffening member with a wrapper having edge portions so that the edge portions overlap with each other along a length of the bar of soap and wherein the edge portions are secured to one another; wherein the stiffening member is wrapped laterally of the bar around at least a longitudinal extent of the bar; and the longitudinal ends of the bar of soap are not surrounded by the stiffening member. 7. The packaged soap bar product produced by the process of claim 6 further comprising the step of wrapping the wrapper in a manner to entirely surround each of the bar of soap and stiffening member, which the wrapper comprises a film material at least part of which is transparent. 8. The packaged soap bar product produced by the process of claim 7 wherein the transparent part of the wrapper overlies the transparent portion of the stiffening member. 9. The packaged soap bar product produced by the process of claim 7 wherein the entire wrapper is of a transparent material. 10. The packaged soap bar product produced by the process of claim 6 further comprising the steps of securing the overlapped edge portions by heat sealing or adhesive coating.
