Custom Candle Boxes

Description

Custom Candle Boxes UK

A candle is bought for how it looks and smells, so the box has to make a strong first impression and protect a fragile product. Our custom candle boxes are made to fit your jars, tins and pillars exactly, printed with your branding and finished to suit your brand. We supply candle makers across the UK, from small home businesses ordering 50 boxes to established brands running wholesale orders.

Box Styles for Candles

Tuck end candle boxes

The most popular and affordable style for jar candles. Slim, retail-ready and quick to assemble, with space for scent notes, burn time and safety information.

Rigid two-piece and magnetic boxes

For luxury and gift candles, a rigid box or magnetic closure box feels substantial and is often kept by customers after the candle is used.

Window boxes

A clear window shows the wax colour, vessel or wick, which helps sell decorative candles on the shelf.

Mailer boxes for online orders

If you sell online, a printed corrugated mailer protects glass jars in the post. See our custom shipping boxes.

Inserts That Protect Glass and Wax

Candles are heavy for their size and glass jars break easily. A fitted card or corrugated insert stops the jar moving, and multi-cavity inserts hold gift sets of two or three candles. For pillar candles, a snug-fitting box with a tray insert stops the edges chipping. Tell us your vessel diameter, height and weight and we will design the insert around it.

Materials and Finishes

• White paperboard for bright, full-colour print and clean minimal designs.
• Kraft board for natural, eco-friendly and soy-wax brands. See custom kraft boxes.
• Rigid chipboard for premium gift candles.
• Finishes: matte or soft-touch lamination, gold or silver foil, embossing and spot UV.

What to Print on a Candle Box

• Brand name and scent name on the front
• Scent notes, wax type and burn time on the sides
• Safety warnings and CLP information where required
• Weight, batch area and barcode on the base

Candles that contain fragrance oils usually need CLP hazard labelling in the UK. Leave space for it in your design, and check the requirements for your formula with your supplier.

Seasonal and Gift Candle Packaging

Candles sell most in autumn and at Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Short print runs make it affordable to create limited-edition boxes for each season without changing your core packaging. Many brands keep one standard box design and add a printed sleeve or sticker for seasonal scents. For gift sets, a gift box with a two or three-candle insert and a printed message inside the lid makes a ready-to-give present that retailers love to stock.

Sustainable Candle Packaging

Customers who buy soy, rapeseed or coconut wax candles often care about packaging waste. Choose kraft or recycled board, water-based inks and a card insert instead of plastic, and avoid plastic lamination if recyclability matters most. Printing a short recycling note on the base helps customers dispose of the box correctly.
