Candle boxes
Rigid boxes with a paperboard insert that keeps the glass from knocking around.

Candle packaging for jars, tapers and gift sets.
Candle packaging is a printed box, sleeve or tube sized to a jar or taper, with an insert that stops the glass moving. For jar candles, a rigid box or a sleeve and drawer is the usual choice. Tapers need a long, narrow carton or a paper tube.
The catch is weight. A filled jar candle is heavy, so a thin carton buckles in the mail. Plan on corrugated or a rigid box with an insert, and ship it inside a mailer.

FAQ
Candles and home packaging questions.
What box is best for a jar candle?
A rigid box or a sleeve and drawer with an insert cut to the jar. Heavy glass needs a snug fit so it doesn't rattle.
Can I get a box for taper candles?
Yes. A long, narrow folding carton or a paper tube suits tapers. Send the length and the diameter.
Can I ship the candle in the retail box?
Not on its own. Put it inside a mailer or shipping box so the retail box arrives clean.
What is the minimum order?
Best value starts at 50 units per design, because of logistics and shipping. If you need fewer, tell us: we can consider smaller orders.
