The same sort of jar can be a $45 candle and a $12 candle. The box frequently makes the difference between them on the shelf. Candle brands understand this, yet they continue to spend overly on luxury packaging as they are purchasing via a reseller, ordering in small batches, or selecting finishes without understanding the incremental value each one imparts to the unit price. Pricing is fixed on custom candle boxes which are ordered in bulk by a direct manufacturer. You receive high quality structure and print at volume rates, and all the cost has been listed out prior to the commencement of production.

What are custom candle boxes?

Custom candle packaging refers to cartons or stiff boxes that are manufactured to an actual size of your jar, tin or pillar and your branding is printed on the board. There are 3 typical constructions of custom candle packaging: a folding carton to be used on retail shelves, a rigid box to use in gift and premium lines, and a mailer used in direct shipping. Candle boxes are printed with your scent names, logo and burn notes, so the box also doubles as your product label.

Benefits for businesses

• Your colors and finish in luxury candle packaging create the brand recognition that allows you to sell at a higher price than mass-market brands.
• The jar is kept still by fitted inserts and this slices breakage and replacement that accompanies it.
• Wholesale candle packing boxes reduce unit price as the quantity increases since the installation cost is distributed throughout the entire run.
• FSC-certified board, paper inserts, and recyclable Kraft enable you to avoid foam and plastic.
• A box that is substantial on opening influences customer ratings on the candle prior to lighting.

What is the motivation behind wholesale prices?

The price moves the most by four things. The unit cost is determined by quantity, as plates and dies cost the same to print 500 or 5000. Box type considerations: a folding carton is much cheaper than a printed candle box and a rigid box with a magnetic lid is again more expensive. One finish is more expensive than the other. Each involves an additional processing step: foil stamping, embossing, and soft-touch lamination. The last are print coverage and color count. Request any supplier to provide quotes separately to be able to see what each upgrade will add and which of them will actually be noticed by customers.

Candle packaging is used in industries.

It is used by independent candle makers to transition to wholesale candle packaging boxes out of craft-fair presentation. Boxed candles are available at home decor stores and gift shops to use in holiday sets. Spa, hotels, wellness brands place orders on branded candles to be given to guests and sold over the counter. Boxed candle sets are sold to corporate buyers as a gift to their clients; and subscription brands have a candle as a repeat item.

The process of selecting the appropriate candle box manufacturer.

Ask to have a real sample with your actual jar before you approve anything. The appearance of finish, wrap and fit is different on a hand than on a proof. Make sure that in the quote it is confirmed in writing whether it is inclusive of dies, plates, inserts and freight since it is the add-ons that make a cheap quote costly. The typical error is to pay for a finish that is hardly visible by the end user, e.g. foil on a surface that is covered by a sleeve. The second is the decision to use a rigid box instead of a well printed folding carton that will sell the same candle at a lower price. Question the supplier on whether he or she produces in-house or he brokers the order.

FAQs
