Candle Boxes With Inserts

Custom Candle Boxes with Inserts: Guaranteed Safe Delivery

Candles face a tougher journey than most products. Heat, movement, fragile glass — it’s all a recipe for disappointment if the packaging isn’t up to scratch. Our custom candle boxes with inserts are designed around the exact shape and size of your candles. That means the insert holds them firmly in place, whether it’s one piece or a set of four. The outer box carries your branding, while the inside quietly does the heavy lifting, keeping everything intact until it’s in your customer’s hands.

Different Inserts for Different Candle Makers

Every brand has its own needs, so we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Depending on your range, we can supply:

• Foam inserts for heavy glass candles that need serious impact protection.
• Cardboard partitions for multi-pack gift sets where sustainability is a must.
• Velvet or fabric-lined inserts for luxury candles aimed at the gifting market.
• Die-cut paperboard for lightweight, budget-friendly options.

Each insert is cut precisely to your candle’s dimensions, so the fit feels intentional — never loose, never forced.

Materials That Balance Safety and Style

Your outer box can be just as important as the insert inside. We work with sturdy cardboard, rigid board for premium ranges, or eco-friendly kraft for natural and artisan brands. All our stocks can be paired with food-safe and FSC®-certified materials where required, and we print with vegetable-based inks. That way, your packaging doesn’t just look good — it aligns with the sustainability goals so many candle buyers now expect.

Two Paths to a Perfect Unboxing: Which Suits Your Candle?

A candle box doesn’t have to be boring just because it’s practical. We’ve seen brands take two very different routes: some keep it simple with a soft matte surface and a logo pressed quietly on the lid, while others go all out with bold colours or seasonal artwork. Both work — it just depends on what fits your product. If you’re not sure, we can show you samples and talk through the options until you’re confident in the choice.

A Perfect Fit for Every Candle in Your Collection

Whether you sell single 9cl jars, larger 50cl luxury pieces, or multi-packs for gift bundles, we can create inserts and boxes tailored to each. Small runs for artisan makers or wholesale volumes for national retailers — both are handled with the same care. And because our die-cutting and finishing is done in-house, your artwork stays private and quality control never slips.

The Inserts That Saved a Brand

A client once came to us after losing money on broken candles during shipping. They’d been using basic cardboard dividers, but it just wasn’t holding up. We suggested switching to sturdier  luxury candle boxes with foam inserts cut to match their jars. The difference was immediate — no more damaged stock, fewer complaints, and customers even started mentioning how “gift-ready” the packaging looked.

Why Candle Brands Choose Buy Packaging Boxes?

We’re not just a printer. We’re a packaging partner with decades of experience helping UK brands move beyond generic boxes. We understand how fragile glass reacts in transit, how shop displays influence impulse purchases, and how packaging can shift a customer’s perception from “ordinary candle” to “luxury gift.” That knowledge is what keeps independents and household names coming back.
