Custom Taper Candle Boxes

Why use custom taper candle boxes

• Stops breaks: a snug box and insert keep thin candles from bending or snapping.
• Keeps them clean: dust and fingerprints stay off the wax.
• Sells as a set: most people buy tapers in pairs, and a box makes a neat pair ready to sell.
• Shows your brand: a long, slim box with your logo looks good on a shelf or a dinner table.
• Room for details: add burn time, color name, size and safety warnings on the sides.

Taper and pillar candle box styles

• Single taper box: a long, thin box for one candle.
• Pair box: two tapers side by side with a divider in the middle.
• Set box: four, six or twelve tapers for gift sets and dinner parties.
• Window box: a long window that shows the candle color (see candle boxes with window).
• Pillar candle box: a square or round box for thick pillar candles.
• Sleeve style: a printed sleeve that slides over a tray, nice for gift sets.

Who uses taper candle boxes

• Candle makers: hand dipped and poured taper brands that sell online or in shops.
• Home decor stores: stores that sell tapers in many colors need boxes that stack and display well.
• Wedding and event planners: boxed tapers make simple table gifts.
• Churches and gift shops: long candles need protection on the shelf.

How to measure for taper candle boxes

1. Measure the full length of your longest candle, from the wick tip to the base.
2. Measure the widest point, which is usually the base.
3. Tell us how many candles go in one box.
4. We add a little room and send a free dieline so you can check the fit.

Hand dipped tapers are not all the same size. Send us the largest one, and we will make sure every candle fits.

Design tips for taper boxes

• Use the long front panel: it is a good place for your logo and the candle color.
• Show the color: print a color swatch, or add a small window so buyers can see the wax.
• Keep the text simple: brand name, color, size and burn time are enough on the front.
• Add safety warnings: most US candle makers follow the ASTM F2058 standard for candle warning labels. Put them on the back panel.
• Match your pairs: if you sell pairs in many colors, keep one box design and change only the color band.

Taper boxes or pillar boxes

Both styles can be made in kraft for a natural look or in rigid board for a luxury feel.
