Candle

Candle boxes are custom-printed paperboard folding cartons built to protect, present, and brand jar, pillar, and tin candles for makers and retailers. Each carton is printed to your design and sized to hold a single candle securely on the shelf or in shipping.

A rigid folding-carton wall guards glass jars and wax from knocks in transit, the printed panels give your candle a retail-ready identity, and inside printing adds care instructions or a thank-you note where buyers see it first. These cartons work for soy, coconut, and scented candles sold online, in boutiques, or as gift sets.

Building a Bulk Candle Program

Wax type, vessel diameter, and wick series have to be chosen as one set, because a wick sized for a two inch jar tunnels in a three inch one. Fill weight then determines burn hours, and the outer carton follows from vessel height and lid profile. Settle the vessel first and every other decision gets easier.

Schedules divide by lane: production that qualifies for domestic handling can finish around about 7 business days, while specialty imported vessels commonly need about 12 weeks, both stated here as planning ranges, not guarantees. Order the sample kit for $50, then we knock that off the opening order. Share vessel size, wax preference, fragrance list, and launch quantity.
