Packaging for Candles - How to Package Your Candles Like a Pro.

Candles are meant to bring serenity and tranquility to your customers, so why not make the chore of packaging them as stress-free as possible? Candles can be an integral part of home décor or add a touch of luxury to the home itself. Packaging is a great method to make your products stand out without breaking the bank.

Check out our expert packaging advice for such incredibly giftable items.

Select Durable Packaging
It is critical to select the appropriate packaging when delivering your items, regardless of what they are, but especially for candles. A heavy-duty corrugated box is appropriate if your candles are made of glass. For smaller candles, use a strong bubble mailer. 

Protect Against Melting
When transporting candles, high temperatures are not your friend. High heat may cause your pillars and votives to deform or completely melt. Some e-commerce businesses may freeze candles before shipment, unknowingly causing more harm – as freezing can cause the wax to fracture. Stearic acid is commonly used in candles to raise the melting point, which increases longevity. The type of stearic acid to use depends on whether you're using paraffin or a soy wax candle. You can use regular stearic acid for the former, and palm stearic acid for the latter.

Cushion Your Candles 
The vast majority of candles come in glass or tin canisters. These materials provide a protective layer for the candle, but you may want to add additional padding. Use cardboard or foam inserts in an appropriately sized box to keep the candle from sliding around during shipping - too much movement can shatter the wax, break the glass, or damage the tin.

PackPack has made the process of ordering packaging so much easier! I used to find communicating with vendors to receive quotes quite challenging, and Kristen has made the process a breeze. She is extremely easy to communicate with, very responsive, and always willing to answer my questions or accommodate changes. I've found pricing to be very reasonable, especially for nice our boxes have turned out. Thank you Kristen and PackPack!
