Custom 9cl Candle Boxes

Packaging Made for the 9cl Candle Format

9cl is one of the most popular sizes for trial candles, gift sets, and votive collections — but because the jars vary by manufacturer, many brands struggle to find packaging that truly fits. At Healey Packaging, we build custom 9cl candle boxes shaped to your glass, rather than forcing your candle into a generic carton.

A snug fit prevents rattling, lid scuffing, cracks, and the small chips that customers immediately notice in a votive-size product. After working with UK candle makers for over a decade, we know what works in real production environments and what holds up during shipping.

Options for Premium and Everyday Collections

Your 9cl range might be an entry-level sampler or a luxury votive line — both require different packaging types. You can choose:

• Printed 9cl candle packaging for promotional sets, seasonal releases, or wholesale runs
• Rigid 9cl candle boxes for high-end gifts where structure and finish matter
• Eco-friendly kraft for natural, botanical, and aromatherapy-style brands

Every option is available in your preferred finish, colour palette, and artwork style.

Why Fit Matters Even More With Small Candles

A small candle is lightweight, which makes movement inside the box more noticeable. Our boxes are tailored to your jar’s height and diameter, eliminating gaps that cause chipping during transit. This keeps your votive candles looking fresh even after courier handling or display rotations.

If you offer sets of three or six 9cl candles, we can add inner dividers that keep each glass separated without increasing the box footprint unnecessarily.

Printing Options for Short and Long Runs

Brands who sell 9cl candles often test a lot of designs — seasonal scents, limited runs, subscription sets. That’s why we offer both digital and offset printing:

• Digital printing for small batches or quick launches
• Offset printing for larger 9cl candle boxes wholesale orders

Both maintain colour consistency across your full candle line — whether you pair your 9cl with candle packaging of 30cl, 50cl, or 20cl ranges.

Material Strength You Can Rely On

Despite the size, these boxes need proper rigidity. We use strong board grades so the candle doesn’t push outwards or damage the corners. For premium lines, many brands choose rigid 9cl candle boxes, which pair well with high-end glass and add perceived value instantly.

Every material we use meets UK packaging compliance standards and is safe for products that generate heat after burning.

Custom Inserts for 9cl Votive Jars

We can include cardboard or kraft inserts to hold the votive securely. These inserts prevent the candle from shifting, especially in postal packaging or gift hampers. Inserts can be colour-matched to your brand, giving your unboxing experience a more considered feel.

Designs That Support Retail and Gifting

Whether your 9cl candles sit on boutique shelves or go into gift boxes, we tailor the design to suit your market:

• For retail shelves: strong colour blocking, clear labelling, and durable coatings
• For gifting: soft-touch finishes, foiled details, and rigid boxes with lids
• For online sellers: postal-friendly structures with reinforced edges

You can also add small windows if you want buyers to see the wax colour or glass style before opening.
