How Many Tealights Go In One Box?
Six, nine, twelve and twenty four are the counts we see most, and each one has its own grid. The cell is 40 mm square for a standard 38 mm cup, which leaves 1 mm each side so the cup drops in and stays put. The table gives the inside box size for each count with that cell.
| Pack count | Grid | Inside length | Inside width | Inside height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 tealights | 3 by 2 | 124 mm | 84 mm | 20 mm |
| 9 tealights | 3 by 3 | 124 mm | 124 mm | 20 mm |
| 12 tealights | 4 by 3 | 164 mm | 124 mm | 20 mm |
| 24 tealights | 6 by 4 | 244 mm | 164 mm | 20 mm |
A taller cup changes only the height row. Send the cup size and the count and we recalculate the grid.
Which Board Suits Packaging For Tealight Candles?
Printed card at 300 to 400 GSM carries a 24 pack without bowing and takes full CMYK on both faces. Kraft candle boxes at 350 GSM suit an unbleached look and print one or two colors over the brown. A clear PET box at 0.3 to 0.5 mm shows the whole pack and sells on color. It is the material buyers of clear tealight candle boxes ask for by name. Clear boxes take a printed sleeve or a label rather than direct print.
Does A Tealight Box Need A Divider?
Yes, once the count passes four. Without a grid the cups slide into one corner on the first tilt and the top layer scuffs the wax below. A slotted divider grid in 350 GSM board holds one cup per cell and costs less than the print on the lid. The grids on the candle box inserts page are the same part, cut to the counts in the table.
How Does Tea Light Packaging Print?
Tea light packaging prints on the lid face and the long sides, because the base is never seen. Offset CMYK suits a photograph of the lit candle and Pantone suits a brand color across reorders. A window of 150 to 250 micron PET film on the lid shows the cups without opening the box. A gift version moves to a two piece base from the candle gift boxes range with the same grid inside.
