What Goes Into A Candle Gift Box?
One to four jars in a cavity insert, with room for a card or a box of matches when the set calls for it. The table gives inside sizes for sets of 8 oz jars on a 90 mm pitch, which is the jar plus the insert wall on each side.
| Set | Layout | Inside length and width | Inside height | Usual build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single jar | 1 | 94 by 94 mm | 108 mm | Two piece rigid |
| Two jars | 2 in a row | 184 by 94 mm | 108 mm | Two piece rigid or carton with sleeve |
| Three jars | 3 in a row | 274 by 94 mm | 108 mm | Two piece rigid |
| Four jars | 2 by 2 | 184 by 184 mm | 108 mm | Two piece rigid, foam insert |
Tealight and votive sets use a divider grid instead, and a taper pair uses a long carton with a center divider. Each of those sits on its own page.
Rigid Or Carton For A Candle Gift Box?
Rigid when the box is kept and carton when the box is opened once. A two piece rigid base in 1.5 to 2 mm greyboard weighs three to four times a carton. It sits on a shelf after the candles are gone, which is the case for most gift sets. A tuck end carton in 400 GSM SBS with a printed sleeve costs less than half and ships flat, which suits a seasonal set sold in volume. Rigid candle boxes carry the figures for the first and custom jar candle boxes for the second.
How Is A Gift Set Held Still?
By one insert with a cavity per jar, cut to the jar diameter plus 2 mm. We hold 8 mm of board between cavities on cardboard and 10 mm on foam. The jars cannot touch each other or the wall, so the set arrives as it was packed. A candle gift box with inserts in foam reads as a gift the moment the lid comes off. A cardboard insert in the same wrap paper does the same job at a lower price. The sizing rule is on the candle box inserts page.
How Do Candle Gift Boxes Change For A Season?
By swapping the sleeve and keeping the box. One rigid base with a neutral wrap runs all year, and a printed sleeve in 300 GSM board carries the holiday artwork for 100 units at a time. The sleeve is a separate die and a separate design, so it meets the same minimum of 100, and it costs a fraction of a second box. Christmas candle boxes on this site are built on that rule.
