Candle Cardboard Boxes that don’t protect jars or taper candles lead to returns, poor reviews, and wasted margins. Shippers stack cartons, couriers drop packages, and thin or ill-fitted boxes mean broken glass, dents in tins, and lost sales, especially during peak seasons like holidays.
We designed our Candle Cardboard Boxes to stop that leak in your profit. Little Rock Packaging combines fitted inserts, structural reinforcements, and protective board weights so candles arrive intact and look premium on the shelf. Your candles arrive safely, look great on the shelf, and your packaging truly shows off your brand, whether you’re selling a few handmade candles or fulfilling big retail orders.
How Smart Packaging Improves Sales and Customer Trust
- Reduce breakage & returns: Snug inserts and protective flaps minimize movement.
- Improve unboxing experience: Custom printing, Window Cutouts, and finishes lift perceived value.
- Lower shipping costs: Smart design balances protection and lightweight materials.
- Scale with ease: Options for short runs or wholesale pallets to fit your growth.
What These Boxes Do for Your Business: Our Candle Cardboard Boxes solve damage and branding problems. Below are the practical features that deliver those benefits.
Built Strong, Designed Smart, Easy to Order
Materials & structure: We use high-quality rigid and folding cardboard with standard board weights suitable for candles (commonly 300–400 gsm for printed stock, reinforced options available). Protective inserts include molded pulp, die-cut cardboard, and soft foam for fragile glass jars.
Printing & finishes: Full-color CMYK printing, optional PMS spot color matching, and finishes like matte, gloss, foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV. We also offer clear window cutouts and printed inner panels for retail-ready presentation.
Sizes & fit: Custom sizes for jars, tins, votives, and taper sets. Typical options: single jar boxes, 2-pack, 3-pack, and custom gift sets. We design dielines for an exact fit to avoid rattling and excess material.
Sustainability: Recycled and FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, and recyclable inserts available for eco-conscious brands.
