Matching the box to the candle
The right candle box balances presentation and protection. This guide compares the styles and the inserts that protect glass vessels.
The main styles
Rigid boxes feel premium and giftable, ideal for luxury candle lines. Folding cartons, including tuck top and two piece, are attractive and cost effective. Window boxes show the candle for shelf appeal. Kraft boxes give a natural, artisan look. Each can hold an insert.
Protecting the vessel
A fitted insert in paperboard or foam cradles the glass and keeps it from shifting, which is essential for shipping. For heavier or larger candles, a sturdier structure and insert protect better. Tell our team your vessel size and how the candle ships, and we recommend the structure and insert.
How to decide
For premium and gift lines, choose rigid. For a cost effective attractive box, a folding carton works well. For shelf appeal, add a window. For a natural brand, choose kraft. Add an insert sized to the vessel for protection. Request free samples to compare.
