Why Choose Our Candle Tray And Sleeve Boxes
Candle tray and sleeve boxes use a two-piece build — an inner tray that cradles the candle and an outer sleeve that slides over it — for a premium unboxing moment without the weight or cost of a rigid box. Crat Packaging manufactures these boxes in our own US facility for luxury and boutique candle brands that want a distinctive structural style on the shelf. Low MOQs and free design support make the style accessible even for a smaller first order.
- Two-piece presentation — the sleeve slides off to reveal the candle seated in a fitted tray, creating a deliberate, slower unboxing than a simple tuck box.
- Secure fit — the tray is die-cut to the exact base of your jar or tin, holding it in place without loose movement.
- Distinct shelf profile — the sleeve-and-tray silhouette stands apart from standard tuck-end or window candle boxes on a retail shelf.
- Full-wrap branding — the sleeve gives a clean, uninterrupted surface for CMYK printing, foil stamping, or embossing.
- Lightweight vs. rigid — cardboard or kraft tray-and-sleeve construction costs less to produce and ship than a rigid two-piece box.
- Optional window — a die-cut window on the sleeve can reveal the candle without removing it from the tray.
- Low MOQ, free setup — no plate or die charges, with a 100-unit minimum order.
