Custom Kraft Candle Boxes

Why candle makers choose kraft

• It looks natural: the brown paper look suits soy, beeswax and coconut wax candles.
• It is recyclable: kraft board goes into the normal paper recycling bin.
• It is strong: kraft fibers are long, so the board resists tearing.
• It costs less to print: one or two colors on kraft look clean and cost less than full color printing.

What you can order

You can order custom kraft candle boxes for one candle, a pair, or a full set. Every box is made to your jar size, so nothing slides around inside.

Boxes for soy candle brands

Soy candle buyers often care about clean ingredients and less waste. A kraft box shows that on the shelf before they read a word. Most soy candle boxes we make are simple tuck boxes with a one color logo, a short scent description and a paper insert to hold the jar. Simple, low cost and on brand.

Custom kraft candle boxes styles

• Tuck end boxes: the most common style, easy to pack and ship flat.
• Boxes with an open window: shows the jar while keeping the box plastic free (see candle boxes with window).
• Jar boxes with paper inserts: hold glass jars safely (see candle jar boxes).
• Long boxes for tapers: kraft looks great on thin dinner candles (see taper candle boxes).
• Kraft mailer boxes: for online orders.

How to keep your candle packaging green

1. Use a paper insert instead of foam.
2. Pick an open window instead of a plastic film window.
3. Skip plastic lamination. An uncoated or water based coating is easier to recycle.
4. Size the box closely to the jar so you use less board.
5. Print a short note like “Please recycle this box” so customers know what to do.

Design ideas for custom kraft candle boxes

• A one color logo in black or white is simple and always looks good on kraft.
• Line drawings of flowers, herbs or fruit match the scent and the natural look.
• Gold or copper foil adds a touch of luxury to the brown board.
• A stamp style print feels handmade and personal.

One thing to know: kraft is brown, so colors print darker than on white board. Light pink or yellow can look dull. If your brand uses bright colors, ask us about white ink under the color.

Kraft or white board

Not every brand needs kraft. Custom kraft candle boxes are the right pick when your brand is natural, simple or eco minded. If your brand is bright and colorful, white board may suit you better.

We accept artwork in AI, EPS, PDF, or high-resolution PSD format (300 DPI minimum). If you don’t have a design ready, our free in-house design team will create one for you based on your brand guidelines, logo, and color palette.

Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a 2D proof for approval within 24–48 hours. For window-cut soap boxes, we recommend confirming window placement against your bar soap’s dimensions before final approval.

Soap boxes are custom-sized to fit your bar dimensions — just provide the length, width, and height of your soap bar (or send a sample) and we’ll calculate the optimal box size.

We produce single-bar boxes as well as multi-bar gift sets and sampler boxes for soap brands offering variety packs.
