Candles are heavy, made of glass and bought as gifts, so the box has to protect the jar and look good on the shelf and doorstep. We design boxes around your exact vessel, add an insert so nothing rattles, and print them so customers know it's yours before they open it.
Problems we solve for candle brands
Glass jars break in the post
We size the box to your jar and add a card insert, so the candle can't move.
Generic boxes don't fit
Custom sizing is free from 500 units, so you stop paying for wasted space and void fill.
Tiny first orders
Start from 100 boxes while you test a new scent or launch a collection.
Gift buyers judge the box
Foil, spot UV and inside print make the box feel like part of the gift.

Candles packaging FAQ
What size box do I need for my candle?
Measure your jar's widest point and height, then add about 3 mm (1/8 in) to each side. Send us the sizes and we'll confirm in your mockup.
Do I need an insert?
For glass jars sent by post, yes. A simple card insert stops the jar moving and costs very little.
Can I print burn and safety instructions?
Yes. We can print warnings and care instructions on the base or inside flap.
Will the box smell of ink?
No. We use low-odour water-based inks that won't affect your fragrance.
Can I have different labels for each scent with one box design?
Yes. Many brands use one box and add a scent sticker, which keeps minimums low.
