Labels for Custom Candle Boxes

Labels for Custom Candle Boxes

We print custom candle box labels for candle makers who package jar candles, tea lights, and other candles in boxes. We size labels to fit any box, in rectangles, circles, ovals, or custom die-cut shapes. Choose kraft paper for a natural look, or BOPP film or vinyl for extra durability. Finishes include matte, high-gloss, soft-touch, and textured, with gold foil, embossing, and spot UV for detail on a logo or scent name. You can pick permanent, removable, or repositionable adhesive. Repositionable works a bit like a sticky note, so a crooked label can be lifted and set straight.

For labels that go on the jar or tin itself, see our candle labels. There’s no minimum order, and quotes come back within 24 hours. Most standard labels print within 5 business days of artwork approval, and we ship nationwide.

Before printing your custom candle box labels, we will provide a digital proof via email for your approval. This allows you to review your label, confirming details like positioning, color accuracy, text legibility, and more, prior to full production. We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction through this streamlined proofing process.

While Blue Label Packaging does not directly offer label design services, we do have resources to help with your custom label design needs. We maintain a directory of Blue Label Approved designers who specialize in label design and understand the unique requirements and technical details involved. We also showcase a gallery of label designs for inspiration.

Our printers are capable of matching up to 97% of the full color spectrum, allowing us to achieve precise color reproduction for your candle box labels. We use advanced CMYK printing to produce an extensive gamut of colors. For designs requiring an expanded range, we also print using WOVG ink sets which add white, orange, violet and green.

Our top-of-the-line color management program and processes ensure we hit the correct hues, tints and shades. We color calibrate and profile all of our presses so your unique color palettes and gradations print true to your vision.
