Cardboard candle boxes protect wax, wicks, and fragrance oils while turning your candle into a gift-worthy product the moment it’s spotted on a shelf. Candles are fragile, scent-sensitive, and often purchased as gifts, so the box has to do real work: cushion glass or tin vessels, seal in fragrance, and present the brand clearly. Crat Packaging manufactures custom cardboard candle boxes at our own US facility, with free design support and a low 100-unit minimum order.
Key Features of Our Cardboard Candle Boxes
- Snug, protective fit — die-cut to your candle vessel’s exact diameter and height so it doesn’t shift or crack in transit.
- Fragrance-sealing lid — a tight-fitting top panel that helps hold scent in until the customer opens it.
- Full custom printing — CMYK and PMS color matching for scent labeling, brand story, and burn instructions.
- Premium finishing — matte or gloss lamination, foil stamping, spot UV, and embossing for a boutique, giftable look.
- Window options — die-cut windows that show the candle color and vessel without exposing the wick to damage.
- Sturdy construction — SBS board or rigid stock built to protect glass and ceramic vessels during shipping.
