Candle box illustration

Custom candle, diffuser and wax melt boxes

A candle box does two jobs: it protects a heavy glass jar in the post and it carries the brand on a shelf. The jar is heavy for its size, so the structure matters as much as the print.

  • Presets for common jar sizes
  • Inserts that stop jars touching
  • Diffuser and wax melt formats
  • From 50 units

We make single candle boxes, diffuser boxes and wax melt cartons, with dividers and inserts that stop jars touching.

Questions about home fragrance boxes

What size box fits a standard 8 oz candle jar?

A common 8 oz jar is about 76 mm wide and 85 mm tall. A carton of about 82 x 82 x 90 mm inside fits with a small gap. Use the preset chips on this page for other jar sizes.

Do I need an insert?

For shelf boxes a snug fit is enough. For shipping we recommend a divider or pulp insert so the jar cannot knock on the walls.

Can the box carry warning text?

Yes. We print the safety and labeling text you supply. Candle labeling rules differ by country and are your responsibility to confirm.

Can the box be window cut?

Yes, with a clear film window or a paper-only cut-out.

What is the minimum order?

Cartons start at 50. Rigid boxes start at 100.

What lead time should I plan for?

About 12 working days after artwork approval. Allow extra before Q4.
