Candle Boxes With Inserts are custom-printed folding cartons with fitted paperboard partitions, built for candle makers who ship single jars, tins, or multi-candle gift sets without breakage. Each box is made from SBS or kraft paperboard and printed full-color to match your brand.
The fitted insert holds your candle snug so it arrives upright and rattle-free, which cuts damaged-arrival refunds and the cost of replacing broken glass. A reverse-tuck-end carton with a paperboard partition is a strong fit for a three-candle starter set or a single signature jar that needs to feel considered on a shelf.

Volume Ordering for Candle Boxes and Fitments
The insert does the engineering work. A corrugated collar suspends a glass vessel away from the carton wall, folded paperboard fitments suit tins and travel tins, and foam or pulp trays handle heavy pillar candles. Measure the vessel at its widest bead, not at the label, before any fitment is drawn.
| Sets ordered | Carton and insert guidance |

Expect one of two schedules: about 7 business days is realistic when the build stays on our in-house equipment, and where specialty imported components are involved about 12 weeks, both being planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of carton and insert is supplied before cutting. Send vessel diameter, height, weight, and the quantity you plan to reorder.
