What candle brands say
Boutique candle makers use our rigid boxes to protect glass jars and make single candles feel like luxury gifts.
“The rigid drawer box made our launch feel like a $200 product. Soft-touch wrap and foil logo — customers post it on social before they even open it.”
“We use these for corporate gift sets. The magnetic closure is satisfying and the wrap print is flawless. Free dieline saved our designer a week.”
“Premium unboxing without the premium headache. Sample matched production exactly and the lead time held even at 3,000 units.”
Inserts that grip the jar through shipping
A single candle in a glass jar is fragile, so we design rigid or folding boxes with a precision-cut insert that cradles the jar shoulder and base. The fit stops movement without adding bubble wrap, and the unboxing feels premium from the first lift. Send us the jar dimensions and we will send a free insert dieline.
See options → Finishes that make one candle feel like a gift
Soft-touch laminate, foil-stamped logos and ribbon pulls turn a single-candle purchase into a shareable unboxing moment. We print the scent notes, burn time and brand story directly on the interior flap for a second read. Request finish samples to compare matte, soft-touch and linen textures.
Start customizing →Recycled content that matches the candle ethos
Most artisan candle brands want packaging that reflects natural wax and clean scents, so we offer FSC-certified kraft, recycled greyboard and soy-based inks. The exterior can stay raw kraft or be fully printed — both read as intentional. Ask for our recycled-content certificates for your sustainability page.
