Custom candle boxes that feel like a gift
A candle sells on first impression: the weight of the lid, the colour on the shelf, the unboxing. packpat designs the whole box with you, then checks it is ready for the printer.
Sizing
Start from your product.
A typical 8 oz jar candle sits in a box of about 80 × 80 × 90 mm inside. Enter your jar size and we recommend a fit with room for padding.
- Measure the jar with its lid on, then add 3–5 mm per side for a snug but easy fit.
- Candles ship heavy: a corrugated mailer protects the glass and needs no outer box.
- Print scent names and burn instructions on the back or inside lid so the front stays clean.
- Warm, matte colours photograph well against shelf and wood backdrops.

Questions
Before you start.
What box suits a single jar candle?
A corrugated mailer protects the glass and ships as it is. If the candle sells on a shelf and ships inside another box, a folding carton is the usual choice.
Can I add the burn warnings and barcode?
Yes. Barcodes and QR codes are generated as exact vector artwork from your data, and the pre-order check flags missing information.
