Industry · Candle makers
Candles are fragile, heavy for their size and almost always bought as gifts. We supply candle gift boxes, candle tin boxes, tealight boxes, protective wrap, labels and mailers for candle makers selling at markets, in stockists and online.
Why it matters
Most candles are bought for someone else, so the box is part of the present.
A fitted box and protective wrap stop jars cracking and lids scratching.
A neat gift box makes a handmade candle feel like a premium product.
Matching boxes and labels across your scents make your brand easy to collect.

Candles combine glass, weight and fragrance, so the packaging has to work hard.
Choose a box close to your jar's size so it can't move and knock against the sides.
Glass jars are heavy, so the box base needs to hold their weight when lifted.
Wrap jars in honeycomb paper and add filler before they go in a mailer.
Leave room for your scent name, burn time and safety instructions.
A neat box or clear-lid set makes a candle ready to give straight away.

Practical advice for candle makers.
Measure your jar's height with the lid in place, and its widest point, before choosing a box.
Honeycomb paper around the jar and filler in the gaps is the simplest way to cut breakages.
One box style with a different label per scent keeps stock simple while your range grows.
Mother's Day and Christmas are peak season for candles. Order boxes and labels early.
