Use E flute for jars up to 8 oz, and B flute for 12 oz to 16 oz jars. Select double-wall board for parcels over 5 lb.
Jars are inserted into candle shipping boxes that protect against drops, compression, vibration, and heat. The ISTA 3A standard simulates parcel drops, vibration, and stacking loads. Boxes that go through this sequence will arrive at the customer with fewer cracks.
A second threat is heat. Soy wax melts around 50 C, and parked delivery vans can reach that temperature in summer. Air gaps and insulating liners slow the temperature rise.

Candle subscription boxes include 1-4 candles with inserts, cards, and samples, delivered monthly. Mailer writes accurately and photographs. A fixed size reduces waste across 12 monthly shipments. Printed lids include the month, scent notes, and a QR code for reorders.
Candle shipping boxes wholesale orders begin at 300 units. Prices drop at 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000 pieces. We ship sample kits within 5 days. After proof approval, production takes 8-12 business days. Cut freight volume by up to 80 percent with assembled boxes and flat-packed cartons.
Round jars are held in place by corrugated cross dividers. Tin cradles and tall pillars use molded pulp cradles. Paper void fill covers mixed-order gaps. Suit wax melts and diffusers have foam wax wrapping. Your jar will have a completely covered insert of the right size, so jars will not move during transportation.
Vexa Packaging offers flexo, digital, and offset laminated graphics on kraft or white liners. Digital printing is appropriate for print runs below 1,000. Flexo reduces costs for runs over 2,500 units. Matte coating is resistant to scuffs. We can print your logo, scent names, and icons like This Side Up and Fragile.
We check each batch against drop, compression, and vibration tests per ISTA 3A. We also check glue strength, die-cut accuracy, and print color against your proof. Any failed candle shipping package will go back to production. We ship batches flat or assembled, with tracked freight to the US, UK, UAE, and Australia.
The inner size of a 4 oz jar should be about 3.5 by 3.5 by 4 inches. An 8 oz jar fits in a 4 by 4 by 4.5 inch box. A 16 oz jar fits 4.5 by 4.5 by 5.5 inches. All sizes have a clearance of 3-5 mm. Send accurate measurements of tin, pillars, and non-standard glass.
Clarity of labels alters the treatment of parcels by carriers. We print Fragile, Glass, and This Side Up icons on two sides and the lid. Bold icons help warehouse staff pack and sort boxes correctly. Include a return address panel, a barcode area, and a thank-you message on the flap to unbox with a branded message.
