Tray sleeve candle boxes are two-piece packages built specifically for jarred or poured candles: a fitted inner tray that cradles the jar and holds it still, wrapped in an outer sleeve that slides on and off for a clean reveal. Crat Packaging manufactures these boxes at our own US facility for candle makers who need a package that protects glass in transit and looks like a gift the moment it’s opened.
Key Features of Our Tray Sleeve Candle Boxes
- Fitted inner tray — die-cut to your jar or tin’s exact diameter and height so it doesn’t shift or rattle in shipping.
- Slide-on outer sleeve — wraps around the tray for a full-coverage branding surface and a satisfying “reveal” when opened.
- Rigid or corrugated construction — rigid chipboard for a premium gift look, corrugated board for extra shipping protection.
- Full-color printing — CMYK or PMS printing on the sleeve, tray, or both.
- Matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination — a finish that matches your candle brand’s positioning.
- Foil stamping and embossing — premium touches for gift-tier candle lines.
- Free structural design — we build the tray cavity to your exact jar or tin dimensions at no charge.

Customization Options
Sizes & Cavity Fit
We die-cut the inner tray to your exact jar or tin diameter and height, so the candle sits snug without extra void-fill in the box.
Materials
Rigid chipboard gives the most premium, boutique-candle feel; corrugated board adds extra crush resistance for candles shipping direct to consumers.
Printing & Finish
Full CMYK printing covers the sleeve’s outer face for branding and scent/burn-time info; matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination and foil stamping finish the look.
Add-Ons
Window cutouts let the candle show through the sleeve before it’s removed; ribbon pull tabs make the tray easy to slide out of the sleeve.
Industries & Use Cases
Tray sleeve candle boxes are used by boutique and small-batch candle makers, home fragrance and wax melt brands, gift and subscription box companies including a candle as a featured item, and candle brands selling direct-to-consumer online who need the glass jar protected through shipping.

Why Wholesale Buyers Choose Crat Packaging
Crat Packaging LLC runs its own US production facility, so every tray is die-cut to your exact candle jar rather than a generic stock cavity. Setup, plate, and die-cut charges are free, design support is free, and our minimum order for cardboard packaging starts at 100 units — low enough for a small-batch candle line to test the market. Bulk pricing starts from around $0.75 per unit, depending on size, material, quantity, and finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a tray and sleeve instead of a regular box?
The fitted tray keeps a glass candle jar from shifting or rattling in transit, while the sliding sleeve gives you a full branding surface and a clean “reveal” moment when the customer removes it.
What’s the minimum order?
Our minimum order for custom candle packaging is 100 units.
Can the tray fit any jar shape?
Yes. We build a free custom dieline around your jar or tin’s exact diameter and height, including multi-cavity trays for candle sets.
What material protects glass jars best in shipping?
Corrugated board offers the most crush resistance for direct-to-consumer shipping; rigid chipboard is better suited to retail or in-store gifting where the box travels less.
Is there a setup or plate charge?
No. Plate and die-cut charges are always free at Crat Packaging.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days from proof approval, with 8-day expedited production available.
