Custom Candle Boxes, Protect and Present Every Candle

Packaging Lane offers full custom candle boxes for shipping, gifting, or retail display. Each box is built for candles of any size or shape, using rigid cardboard that holds its form in transit. Choose from a range of box dimensions to fit single votives or multi-piece sets. Durable locking tabs keep candles secure, so your product stays intact through handling and delivery. Clear print finishes help show off your branding on every box.

Box Materials & Construction

Choose paperboard or corrugated stock, both available in thicknesses from 14pt to 26pt. Thicker walls prevent dents during shipping and handling. This supports candles that weigh up to 1 lb per box and protects retail display impact. All seams are glued and scored for crisp folds. Reinforced edges stop boxes from warping, so your candle packaging keeps its shape.

Stock Types & Strength Choices

Choose from a folding box board (12pt–24pt) for light, easy-to-stack candles or rigid chipboard (1.2-2mm thick) for heavy or fragile jars. Lightweight options cut shipping costs and are easy to assemble. Rigid styles protect glass containers during transit. For delicate products, double-wall rigid stock absorbs bumps and reduces breakage risk. Material consistency supports reliable print and die-cut quality.

Assembly & Protection Features

Locking tabs keep each box closed and stable during shipping, so contents stay secure without extra tape or glue. Reinforced corners add protection, which lowers the risk of crushed edges for candles. Custom inserts support the candle during transit, stopping movement that can lead to cracks or dents. Step-by-step assembly instructions help you set up each box fast, cutting down packing time for higher volumes. Packaging Lane ships these boxes in flat form for easy storage.

Print Choices & Surface Finishes

Pick offset or digital printing to match your order size and detail needs. Offset suits large runs and sharp color, while digital handles short runs and quick changes. Each method brings clear logos and fine text to packaging lane boxes. Select from matte, gloss, or satin finishes. Matte cuts glare for a smooth look that resists fingerprints. Gloss boosts shine and color depth for high-impact shelf appeal. Printed surfaces reinforce your branding instantly.

Branding & Custom Print Options

Choose from foil stamping for metallic accents, embossing for raised textures, or window cutouts to showcase products. These options help your packaging stand out on shelves and reflect your brand. Print full or partial designs using sharp colors on the outside. Inside print lets you add care instructions or branding elements where buyers least expect, supporting a stronger unboxing experience. Packaging Lane completes most custom runs in small batches and runs above 500 units, making the process fit both seasonal and ongoing needs for custom candle boxes.

Color Accuracy & Design Tips

Pantone matching gives you predictable, repeatable colors for every production run. Buyers see the same shade on each box, which matters for consistent shelf impact and repeat orders. Submit print-ready files in PDF or AI format with all fonts outlined and colors set in CMYK or Pantone. This avoids delays or unwanted shifts in color. Review a digital or physical proof before mass production. The proof lets you catch alignment or color issues early.

Sizing, Fit & Candle Compatibility

Packaging Lane offers box sizes for tins, jars, and pillar candles from 2x2x2 inches up to 6x6x12 inches. Use a ruler to measure your candle at the widest and tallest points. Add at least 0.25 inch for a smooth fit, reducing shipping damage. Pick sizes based on your candle style. For example, small jars fit well in our 3x3x4-inch option. Large pillars need deeper boxes up to 12 inches high. This lets you find a fit that holds tight but does not squeeze your product.

Measuring Guide

• Measure your candle height, width, and length at the widest point. Add 3 to 5 mm to each side for internal clearance. This small buffer stops dents and makes inserting or removing candles fast.
• Choosing accurate dimensions means your packaging fits and protects your candles during shipment. For custom candle boxes, correct sizing keeps the product secure, cutting the risk of breakage.
• Place a sample candle into the box to double-check the clearance before placing orders. 

Inserts & Protective Add-Ons

Custom inserts, like die-cut cardboard or dense foam, hold each product securely in place, reducing breakage during transit. Choose sizes that fit your items with less than 5 mm movement for extra safety. Crinkle paper or tissue fill works well for added padding in fragile shipments. Use crinkle for irregular-shaped gifts or tissue for delicate surfaces to prevent scratches, giving your package a tidy look at arrival. Presentation directly shapes customer perception. Well-fitted inserts make custom candle boxes look professional and keep your items intact.

Eco-Friendly & Compliance Details

Packaging Lane offers boxes made from recyclable and FSC-certified paper. Buyers can choose materials that match sustainability targets or meet regional regulations. Compostable and non-toxic ink options prevent contamination. Our inks meet safety guidelines for the candle market and exclude heavy metals or harsh VOCs. Certification details are shared on request for full transparency.

Sustainability Credentials

Packaging Lane custom candle boxes support eco-labels like FSC and Recycled Content. Documentation must include supplier certifications and batch test results. Buyers receive clear paperwork to speed up compliance reviews. Most boxes contain 60–80% recycled fiber. Third-party validation confirms the recycled rates stated on the product sheet. This means your brand can use accurate eco claims in marketing and audits.

Safety & Regulatory Claims

Packaging Lane prints required legal symbols, disposal marks, and country or state-approved warnings directly on each order. For flammable products, we apply clear fire-safety icons and caution text, using high-contrast inks proven to meet U.S. and EU standards. You can specify which safety labels or regulatory claims appear on every box, supporting compliance in every region. Our materials accept ink with no smearing or fading, so warnings and disposal instructions remain readable during use and transport. This supports safe handling and lowers risk of rejected shipments.

Ordering, Lead Times & Support

Minimum order quantity for Packaging Lane is 100 units, so you can plan your first batch with confidence and control costs early. For samples, we create physical proofs before production, helping you check fit and finish before a full run. Choose standard or expedited turnaround to fit your schedule without losing accuracy or quality. We offer clear delivery options so your timeline is predictable from start to finish. Buyers can plan launches or resupply without guesswork. Every shipment is tracked for your records. You get a set lead window, keeping you in control from design approval to delivery of your custom candle boxes.

Production & Delivery Timeframes

Once approved, your order ships in 10 to 12 days. Payment is due before production begins. This process keeps your custom candle boxes project simple and on schedule. Each shipment gets a packaging check. Units are counted and inspected for dents, scuffs, or seal issues before they leave Packaging Lane. This reduces on-arrival problems. On delivery, buyers should review box counts and the outer case for transit damage. Fast feedback on any issue helps resolve claims and keeps timelines tight for custom candle boxes.
