Candle Packaging Boxes: Fire-Safe Cartons Guide
Heavy glass jars need boxes that protect and present.
Direct answer
Candle boxes must support heavy glass jars, hold the candle snugly during shipping, and carry clear labeling. Folding cartons with a corrugated insert or tray are standard; rigid boxes create a premium gifting feel. Confirm weight capacity, insert design and transit testing for large candles.
