Packaging

When choosing candle box packaging, consider factors like material thickness, interior cushioning, box dimensions, and compatibility with your candle jars. Packaging should be sturdy enough to withstand handling while enhancing the unboxing experience. For eco-conscious brands, recycled or recyclable materials can also reinforce your commitment to sustainability.

Not all boxes for candles are created equal. Start by measuring your candle container and selecting packaging that fits snugly without shifting. If you're selling candles with lids, be sure your box accommodates the full height of the vessel. For jar candles, especially glass ones, protective inserts or double-wall boxes can prevent damage during transport or retail handling.

The design of your candle packaging should complement your scent and aesthetic. Clean, white boxes offer a spa-like vibe, kraft boxes suit earthy, natural fragrances, and clear window boxes help showcase intricate or colorful candles. Coordinating packaging colors or textures with your container and lid selections is also helpful for a cohesive final look.

Do I need packaging for each candle?

Quality candle packaging helps protect your product during storage, shipping, and display. It also gives your candles a professional finish, ideal for retail or gifting.

What are the advantages of custom candle boxes?

Custom candle boxes offer a tailored fit for your jars or tins, prevent breakage, and allow for branded elements like logos, labels, or messaging. They help reinforce your identity and elevate the customer experience.

How do I choose the right box size?

Measure your complete candle, including the jar and lid, to ensure a snug fit inside your packaging. The ideal candle box packaging should hold your product securely without extra space that could allow shifting during transport.

Can I coordinate candle packaging with my scent collections?

Many makers use boxes for candles that reflect the scent profile, think kraft boxes for woodsy or herbal scents, white for spa-inspired collections, or clear windowed boxes for showcasing decorative jars or colored wax.
