The Box That Sells the Scent Before They Even Open It
You’ve put everything into crafting that candle—maybe it’s hand-poured soy with a crackling wood wick, maybe it’s got that exact blend of amber and oud your customers can’t stop talking about. But the moment it leaves your hands, the packaging takes over.
We’ve seen too many great candles land on shelves in generic, flimsy boxes that don’t just undersell the product—they risk damaging it, too. That’s why we create custom candle boxes that actually reflect what’s inside: something thoughtful, intentional, and worth picking up.
Designed to Protect the Product—and the Brand Behind It
Let’s be honest: it’s not just about protection. Sure, our boxes keep wax from chipping, glass jars from cracking, and lids from shifting during delivery. But they also do something less obvious, yet just as important—they set the tone before the candle is even lit.
At Healey Packaging, we work with candle makers of all sizes—from boutique start-ups to household-name retailers. And no matter the scale, the goal is always the same: build packaging that gets people to stop, pick it up, and feel something. Here’s what we bring to the table:
What Makes Our Boxes Different
- Tailored fit – no more stuffing tissue to fill gaps. Your box is made to match your jar, tin, or moulded form.
- Luxury finishes – go matte and minimal or add texture with foil, embossing, or spot UV.
- Custom shapes & closures – magnetic lids, slide-out drawers, two-piece set boxes… all on the table.
- Full CMYK & Pantone printing – match your brand colours perfectly, no muddy tones here.
- Eco-conscious materials – recycled kraft, FSC-certified board, compostable inks—all available.
Candle Packaging That Does More Than Just “Look Nice”
We’ve worked on boxes for weddings, spa collections, Christmas gift sets, and limited-edition scent launches. We had a client recently—they loved how their new candles looked online, but once they hit the shelves, no one was noticing them. The box just wasn’t doing them justice.
We redesigned their box with a bold pop-open format, textured black card, and copper foil stamping. Sales doubled in two months.
This is why packaging isn’t just about “looking pretty.” It’s about shelf impact. It’s about how your brand feels in someone’s hands. It’s about showing value before they’ve even opened the lid.
Packaging Options Built Around Your Brand
Whether you’re launching a small-batch candle line or expanding into retail nationwide, we offer candle box styles to suit every step:
Luxury candle boxes with lids
Perfect for high-end jar candles. Add a magnetic closure for that satisfying “click” when opened, or foil your logo for a premium touch.
Printed candle boxes
Great for everyday retail lines. You can go loud with colour, keep it super clean and minimal, or bring in some artwork that tells people who you are. Whatever suits your vibe—we’ll help shape it.
Eco-friendly Kraft candle boxes
If you’re doing natural or handmade candles, kraft boxes are a solid shout. They’re recyclable, biodegradable—and let people know you actually care about the planet, not just the product.
Seasonal or limited-edition candle packaging
Make each launch feel like a moment. We can help you design themed packaging for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, autumn collections—or whatever your calendar demands.
Candle Shipping Boxes That Do the Job
We get asked this a lot: “Will the box actually protect the candle in transit?” The answer’s yes—if it’s made properly. We offer:
- Double-wall or corrugated options for fragile glass jars
- Die-cut inserts to stop movement
- Exterior branding options, so your mailer still makes a statement
If you’re shipping direct to customer or supplying to retailers, we’ll guide you toward a structure that’s secure, not bulky.
Real Talk: Sustainability Isn’t a Trend — It’s a Standard
We’re not here to greenwash. We use kraft, rigid board, or recycled materials wherever possible—and we’ll be honest with you about what’s compostable vs. what’s just recyclable. If you’re building a low-waste brand, we’ll help your packaging match that mission without compromising style.
FAQs About Custom Candle Boxes
What materials do you use?
Most clients go for kraft, white cardboard, or rigid board—depends on the look you’re going for. All are recyclable, and we’ve got eco upgrades if you want them.
Can you do custom sizes and inserts?
Absolutely. Send us your candle jar dimensions (or just the jar!) and we’ll make it fit like a glove. Inserts too—foam, card, or biodegradable options.
How much do custom candle boxes cost?
Prices vary based on size, print style, and finish—but we’ll always quote upfront, no surprises. MOQ is 100 units.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk candle packaging?
Yep. Whether you need 500 for a seasonal launch or 5,000 for retail, we’ll keep it consistent across the board.
How fast is your turnaround?
We’re usually looking at about 7 to 10 working days from the time you sign off your proof. But if you’re on a tight schedule, just let us know—we’ve pulled off quick turnarounds before.
