Custom candle boxes are specifically designed for premium candles according to specific dimensions. These boxes secure your fragile candle jars during transportation. Candle boxes are made of different materials, including rigid board, cardboard, and Kraft paper. Various finishing options are also available, including window cut-outs, foil stamping, and embossing. Every box is designed to prevent candles from moving inside.
You can package different types of candles according to your customers’ demands. Here are a few types of candles you can fit in the boxes:
Pillar candles have more demand in the consumer market because of their cylindrical shape. Available in various sizes and colors and serve a dual purpose of being decorative and functional.
Taper candles are slender and long candles that get narrower from base to tip. Customers normally use these at dinners and weddings due to their elegance in color and size.
Customers use votive candle boxes at home or sometimes in churches for their religious ceremonies because they are small in size.
As the name suggests, tea light candles are tiny in size and wrapped in metal or plastic holders. People keep these candles inside lanterns and decorative candle holders because of their compact design and unique presentation.
Floating candles are specially designed to float in water to create a magical appearance. These are usually used in wedding centerpieces to improve the dreamy feel of the event.
Jar candles are available inside a glass jar. They can be burned in a more controlled manner and also for longer periods of time. These are available in different smells and sizes.
Scented candles are infused with fragrant oils that release different scents into the air. There are a variety of scents that can be found in scented candles, including floral, fruity, spicy, and woody, etc.
Natural beeswax is used to make these candles. Use candle wax boxes for type of candles. It keeps pristine the honey smell and natural appearance of beeswax.
Soy candles are produced from soybean wax, which is environmentally sustainable and burns better and longer than common paraffin wax.
The production of handmade candles requires meticulous attention to detail as well as creative design. Such candles make excellent gifts as well as interior decorating accents. Besides this, you can also use candle dust covers along with their accessories and additional surface protection. It helps keep candles clean and organized during transportation, storage, and retail display.
The type and style of box totally depend upon the requirements of your brand. You can choose from our trendy styles of candy boxes:
Brands normally choose tuck-end boxes for regular retailing because they’re very simple and easy to construct. The box has enough printing space for printing ingredients, brand name, barcodes, fragrance, and other relevant information.
Two-piece boxes are used for premium products and as gift boxes because they have a separate lid. The lid can be completely detached from the base, leaving the product presented nicely.
Rigid shoulder boxes are manufactured from thick rigid chipboard or gray board to protect heavy candle holders. Most brands prefer this kind of box for luxury scented candles.
We made this style by combining the outer sleeve and the inner drawer, which slides in and out of the sleeve.
Magnetic closure boxes contain magnets that keep the lid closed. They can be used for gift packaging and for luxury candles. The box can be opened and closed many times without breaking the design of the box.
Window cut-out boxes give customers an opportunity to see every candle detail without opening the box.
You can easily pack round candles in cylindrical/round tube packaging. The design of such packaging matches the product and provides uniqueness in comparison to standard square boxes.
Brands that deliver products to customers directly often use tab-lock mailer boxes as the locking flaps keep the packaging closed. Such boxes will be even more useful when combined with protective inserts.
The perfect material for custom printed candle boxes totally depends on your packaging needs. We manufacture candle boxes in the following materials:
Rigid chipboard is ideal for high-end packaging due to its thickness and durability. It is recommended for packaging items such as luxury scented candles, heavy glass jars, and high-end candle gift sets.
You can choose our environmentally friendly packaging materials, such as Kraft paper. The brownish color of the material fits collections of handmade candles, as well as eco-friendly products.
Courier packaging is stronger than the packaging of products available at stores. Corrugated flutes have an extra layer of fluting between the liner papers. It makes corrugated packaging a reasonable option for shipping jar candles and other fragile products in glass packaging.
Custom candle packaging is available in different size. They can be customized, depending on the jar shape and the type of candle. You can select the size in terms of diameter, height, and weight.
Here are the available sizes of trendy custom candle boxes:
| Candle Type | Box Size (inches) | Use Case |

Inserts help protect candles by keeping them safely in place inside the box. They also help in preventing movement during transportation. They minimize the risk of cracked wax, scratches, broken glass jars, and other damage that can be caused during transportation. EVA or EPE foams are best to use for inserts.
For multiple candles in a box, the molded pulp or corrugated dividers hold and prevent contact between products. Therefore, fragile goods manufacturers usually ship their products in candle boxes with inserts.
You can choose from different finishing options to make candle packaging more appealing, including:
