Kraft Candle Boxes

Kraft Candle Boxes Made for Your Candle Line

Kraft candle boxes give a candle brand a natural, honest look that suits soy, beeswax and hand-poured lines. We make every box to your candle's measurements and print it with your logo and label details. If you are still comparing materials and styles, our main custom candle boxes page covers every option we make.

Custom kraft candle boxes work for retail shelves, market stalls and online orders. The board is strong enough to carry a glass jar, and the brown surface hides scuffs better than white stock.

Kraft Stocks We Use for Kraft Candle Boxes

The right board depends on the weight of the candle. We cut these boxes from the same kraft paperboard we use across our custom kraft boxes range.

• 14pt kraft paperboard: for votives, tealight sets and travel tins.
• 18pt kraft paperboard: for 8 oz and 12 oz jar candles, where the box carries glass and wax together.
• Corrugated kraft: for candles that ship directly to customers.
• Rigid board with a kraft wrap: for gift sets and premium candles.

Any glass candle that will be shipped should sit in a fitted insert. A candle box with insert holds the jar in the center, and a molded pulp or kraft board insert keeps the whole pack recyclable.

Printing and Finishes on Kraft

Kraft is brown, so ink behaves differently on it than on white board. Colors print darker and more muted, and light shades can disappear into the stock. These choices work best:

• One or two solid colors: a black or dark logo on natural kraft is the cleanest and lowest cost option.
• Full color (CMYK): good for earthy artwork. Ask for a printed proof first so you can see the real shade.
• White ink: [CONFIRM: white ink available on kraft] prints white text or a white base under bright colors.
• Foil stamping and embossing: add a premium detail to the logo without covering the kraft texture.

If recyclability matters to your brand, keep the box uncoated or choose a water-based coating. Plastic lamination has to be separated before the box can be recycled.

Kraft Candle Box Styles

• Tuck top boxes: the everyday choice for single jars and tins. Our kraft tuck top boxes ship flat and fold in seconds.
• Window boxes: a die-cut window shows the wax color or the jar label. See the window shapes and film options on our candle boxes with window page.
• Cylinder tubes: a round kraft tube fits pillar and jar candles and stands upright on the shelf. Sizes are on our candle tube packaging page.
• Rigid two piece boxes: a separate lid and base wrapped in kraft paper, used for gift candles and sets.

Kraft Candle Box Sizes

These are common starting sizes. We cut every box to your actual vessel, so send us the diameter and height of your candle.

For heavier glass vessels, see the fits and inserts on our candle jar boxes page.
