What Are Candle Boxes with Inserts?
Candle boxes with candle inserts are designed for the temporary storage of candles, in a shop, or in delivery to customers. The insert may be made of cardboard, foam, molded pulp, or even something else. It fits into the box and keeps the candle steady, so it doesn't fall. If you need to ship glass jar candles, tins, or soft wax products, this part inside the box helps keep them safe while they travel from the packing area to the customer.
Without an insert, the candle can move in the box while it is being shipped. This can cause the label to get scratched. The glass can chip, or the wax can break. A fitted insert keeps the candle in place. It stays safe and looks good. This is true if the candle is on a store shelf or on its way to you through a fulfillment system.
Key Features of Custom Candle Boxes with Inserts
Insert Types for Different Protection Needs
The insert is what makes this kind of packaging stand out. Candle products and how they ship need different types of insert materials.
Cardboard inserts are what most people use. They are light, and you can recycle them. They do not cost a lot when you buy a lot of them. For regular jar candles, tins, and taper candles that are sold in stores or sent out online, cardboard inserts help the items stay in place. They do not add much weight or cost.
Foam inserts are great for taking in shock when you need to ship heavier jars made of glass or ceramic. A thick, high-density foam that is cut to fit your jar is a good choice for candle shipping boxes with inserts. This works well when your packages need to travel far or might be handled a lot along the way.
Box Construction and Durability
The outside part of the box is as important as what goes inside. Candle boxes with inserts can be found in different styles.
Folding cartons (straight tuck or reverse tuck) are what most shops use for packing candles. You can change them to fit what you need. They cost less and are good for packing one candle or more than one together.
Rigid boxes give brands a strong box that does not fold. These boxes keep their shape and look good on shelves. They are great for gift sets and also for stores that want a more fancy feel.
Magnetic closure boxes feel nice when you open and close them. The lid snaps closed, which tells you this is a high quality box. These boxes are ideal for special and limited edition products, subscription boxes and corporate gifting.
Sizing and Fit
Candle boxes with inserts usually fit US candle sizes like 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz jars. You can get boxes that hold two, three, or four candles. There are also large boxes for candles up to 20 oz if you need them for a special product line.
Custom Candle Boxes with Inserts for Your Brand
Printing and Finishing Options
Branded packaging is not just for keeping things safe. And it helps you to spread your message. The custom candle boxes can be printed with your company logo and product details. You can print the design in offset or digital printing.
Finishing options include:
- Embossing and debossing assist in better feel and sight of logos.
- The shiny metal appearance of logos or text with foil stamping is noticeable.
- The surface is decorated by matte and gloss lamination that provides longer lasting and safety surface.
- Some parts of the design are more prominent, resulting from Spot UV.
Material Choices
You can choose box materials based on what your brand stands for, your plans to be more green, and how you need to ship things.
- Rigid paperboard gives a firm outside layer and makes the box look good in stores
- Kraft cardboard is safe for the earth, can be reused, and comes in a plain, simple style
- Corrugated board keeps things safe when sending candles and packs many candles at once
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) board comes in different thicknesses (from 10pt to 28pt), works for nice printing, and has a bright, white surface
Structural Customization
Beyond inserts and printing, custom candle boxes with inserts can also have:
- Die-cut windows let people see the product inside.
- Custom shapes go farther than simple square or rectangle boxes.
- Perforations help you open the box easily.
- Scoring and gluing make the box simple to put together.
