Not Just a Box—A Bold Statement for Your Tallest Products

Pillar candles are icons of elegance—but they’re also fragile, heavy, and scent-sensitive. Packaging them requires more than a standard solution. You need structure, stability, and standout design.

At Custom Boxes Inc., we specialize in custom pillar candle packaging that protects, performs, and promotes. Every box is crafted to match your product’s size, style, and market position—whether you’re selling online, in boutiques, or shipping direct to consumers across North America.

Your Candle, Your Custom Packaging

We don’t start with templates—we start with your product.

Tell us:

  • Candle height & diameter
  • Wax type (soy, beeswax, paraffin, coconut blend)
  • Fragrance strength & shelf life
  • Target customer profile
  • Sales channel (DTC, retail, wholesale)

From there, our packaging engineers and branding team design solutions that secure your candle, reflect your aesthetic, and entice buyers at first glance.

Top Packaging Styles for Pillar Candles in the USA & Canada

Over the years, we’ve perfected packaging for candle makers, home fragrance brands, spas, and subscription services. The most popular box types include:

Rigid Candle Boxes

  • Premium feel for luxury brands
  • Foam or molded pulp inserts
  • Hinged lid or two-piece designs
  • Custom embossing, foil, and lamination
  • Popular for high-end gifting and retail

Kraft Pillar Candle Boxes

  • 100% recycled & biodegradable
  • Tuck-top or crash-bottom options
  • Great for rustic, organic branding
  • Soy-based ink printing
  • Common for handmade and eco-focused sellers

Retail Display Boxes

  • Tiered or upright display configurations
  • Die-cut windows for product visibility
  • Auto-lock or reinforced bottoms for heavier candles
  • Ideal for boutiques and store chains

Subscription Mailer Boxes

  • Custom-fit corrugated mailers
  • Candle-safe inserts and scent barriers
  • Optional outer sleeves for branding
  • Perfect for monthly candle clubs or eCommerce delivery

Precision Engineering for Heavy & Fragile Candles

Pillar candles can be tall, dense, and easily chipped or cracked. We account for:

  • Weight-bearing construction (up to 2+ lbs per candle)
  • Double-wall reinforcement
  • Inner support sleeves or corrugated buffers
  • Candle inserts shaped to diameter & base
  • Surface protection during shipment

Every candle box is tested under real-world conditions—so whether your customers are in New York, Toronto, or Phoenix, your product arrives perfect.

Material Options Built to Preserve and Impress

Our pillar candle packaging isn’t just pretty—it’s purposeful.

We offer:

  • SBS Paperboard (18pt–28pt) for print-heavy designs
  • Rigid Chipboard (80pt–120pt) for premium gifting
  • Kraft board (natural or bleached) for rustic appeal
  • Corrugated (E-flute, B-flute) for mailers and bulk shipping
  • PET/PVC windows for visibility without exposure

All materials can be scent-protected and moisture-resistant—especially important for wax types like soy or coconut.

Make It Yours—From Finish to Foam Insert

With full custom capabilities, you choose:

  • Dimensions (to the 1/16")
  • Inserts (foam, pulp, kraft partitions)
  • Finish (matte, gloss, soft-touch)
  • Design (CMYK, foil, debossing, metallic ink)
  • Add-ons (ribbons, magnetic closures, sleeves)

Need help with design? Our in-house team will handle the entire creative process—free with your order.

Sustainability Without Compromise

Today’s buyers care about how products are packaged—and so do we. Our sustainable solutions include:

  • Recyclable and biodegradable materials
  • Plant-based lamination
  • Compostable soy ink
  • FSC-certified stock
  • Plastic-free insert alternatives

You don’t have to choose between protection and planet. With our eco-forward pillar candle boxes, you get both.

Packaging That Sells Your Candle—Before It’s Even Lit

The moment someone sees your box—on a shelf, in an unboxing video, or at a pop-up—it should stir curiosity and build trust.

Pillar candles are premium items. Let’s give them premium packaging: strong enough to protect, stunning enough to convert.

From minimalist elegance to bold seasonal branding, your box will be an extension of your scent story.
