Candle Boxes As Product Packaging

 

Candle boxes have a long history going back at least as far as ancient Egypt. They were probably used to store candles as well as for decorative purposes.

Candle boxes were widely used until the late 19th century to store unsightly candles, stuck to walls for fear of mice, rats and other rodents.

They are typically made of metal or wood and usually cylindrical or rectangular in shape, with a wide mouth on top for easy pouring of the wax or candle wax.

Popularity of candle packaging

The popularity of candle boxes has declined over time but their use as a container for wax candles continues today.

There are many uses for them including candle holders, miniature soaps dispensers, soap packages, candle holders, container for salt and sugar, and a container for fish.

As you can see they are versatile and very effective way to pack and distribute products. So how do candle boxes actually work? How do candle holders work?

Candle holders and candle boxes both depend on the chemical reaction between wax and wick to burn and release the heat.

To get started, all you need is a container such as a clear acrylic or glass jar with an airtight lid and your choice of shape and size.

Fill the base with sand or crushed peat moss to prevent the base from absorbing moisture. Add a few drops of your favorite fragrant oil and shake or stir the oil. This will keep your oils concentrated and ready to light as long as it's warm enough inside the container.

Choose a suitable container for candle products

Depending on the type of candles you intend to sell, you will want to choose a suitable container that will keep your product cool or warm while not losing the finished candle scent.

Generally the warmer the candle packaging the longer it will last.

The most common types of candle containers are clear glass and plastic ones, but in the candle industry there are special boxes made specifically for soy, beeswax, paraffin wax and potpourri. There are even specially designed candle boxes that are perfect for storing your candles at home.

The wick is the fuel or wax that gives candles their burning light. It needs to be ignited before the wax will burn and create the desired aroma.

Without enough wick or too much wick, the candle may not produce enough light and the fragrance may not be strong enough.

Proper candle packaging will ensure even distribution of the wick and keep the finished product clean and protected from moisture. One of the basic elements of proper candle packaging is the bottom box, which is usually referred to as a heel or pillar.

The purpose of the bottom box is to keep the finished candle upright, secure and in its rightful place so that you can pour or shake the wax easily without having to tip the candle upside down, which could cause scaring and accidents.

How to choose the best packaging supplier for candle boxes?

Some companies offer custom candle boxes, which allow you to choose the shape, size and color of the box. You can find candle boxes in a wide range of colors.

You can choose a clear or frosted cardboard so the finished candle is as colorful as you want it to be. If you want to add a decorative touch to your custom boxes, you may want to consider purchasing custom cardstock.

Cardboard candle boxes are inexpensive and come in a wide range of colors. Although there are many colors available in the cardstock market, clear cards are the most transparent, thus allowing the candle's natural scent to shine through.

If you have a specific brand in mind for your candle packaging, you may want to think about using that brand when creating your custom candle boxes.

However, if you do not have a specific brand in mind, you can still use the generic or standard type of packaging. Generic boxes are inexpensive and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

They come in a large assortment of colors and most retailers carry them. Standard boxes are more durable and provide protection for your candles.

These boxes are often purchased for weddings and other special events and you can choose a standard box for all candles manufactured by your company.

Final words

Whether you choose to package your candles in custom candle boxes or stock standard boxes, you should ensure that the product packaging provides protection for the candles you sell.

As your business grows you may not need to purchase a large number of custom candle boxes, so you may want to select a smaller variety to start with.
