Flame-Resistant Candle Packaging: Safety Standards and Design Considerations

candle boxes

Candles need to be kept secure during transit, handling, and storage so that they do not break and also do not light up. The product is sensitive and with the right candle boxes, it can be kept secure. Flame-resistant packaging can be considered so that the product remains secure and is kept safe from heat damage.

Customers want the candle to reach them in good-condition and will be pleased if this happens. The packaging needs to stop candle fires from occurring by limiting the threat of ignition coming from heat sources and even contact with harmful flammable materials.

The following discusses flame-resistant packaging keeping safety standards and design considerations in mind:

Packaging material

The material that you choose will impact whether you will get a sturdy box that will be flame-resistant. A brand must look for those materials which limit the threat of a fire occurring. Strong materials that will keep the box in one shape should be considered.

Sturdy materials such as durable cardboard may be useful. Kraft paper is even a good option. These materials can give you a strong box that will securely place the candle in it so that customers can get it in excellent condition. If you want consumers to directly view the candle and that have the opted for window boxes wholesale, make sure the plastic film placed on the die-cut window area is strong as well. Good-quality plastic can be chosen that is heat-resistant.

Eco-friendly options

Nowadays brands need to keep the environment in mind in all their operations including the packaging of the product. Many consumers notice this and especially the eco-conscious ones will prefer buying from a brand that aims to protect the environment.

Sustainable packaging materials like Kraft paper can be considered. It is strong and customizable allowing you to get a perfect box to protect the candle. You can print this box with sustainable inks so that it maintains its eco-friendly properties.

Inserts

To make the candle remain secure and in place, you can consider putting inserts in the box. Heat-resistant inserts like cardboard and foam inserts may be used. They can securely hold the product in place. These inserts are able to give the product more protection.

Eco-friendly inserts can be considered like shredded paper, biodegradable packing peanuts, etc. These can cushion the candle. It will remain in its place and can be presented attractively to consumers even when placed in window packaging.

Size and shape of box

The candle must securely fit in the box so that movement is limited. This will limit breakage as well. It is important that the dimensions of the packaging are perfect.

The box must not be extremely big making the candle move around as it can get damaged like this especially when it is in transit. There should also be sufficient space in the box so that air circulation can occur properly. This can aid in preventing the packaging from getting really hot as well.

The candle therefore must be measured carefully so that you have an idea of its dimensions and can make a box that is right in size and shape. This will protect the candle and even present it in a better way to customers.

Packaging design

The packaging design needs to be attractive and visually appealing. It should reflect the company’s values. Packaging is able to enhance the look of the product and draw people’s attention to it therefore make sure the box is designed attractively and in a heat-resistant way.

Custom candle boxes can include color, graphics, images, etc. to stand out. For instance if you are selling a high-end candle you can include the color black or gold on the box. You can include an image that is like the candle within if you are not displaying it directly through a transparent die-cut window box.

This will help let people know how it looks. If the candle is placed in a window box, you can design the packaging to interact with the candle inside so that it shines through and looks magnificent.

Include a brand logo on the packaging clearly allowing people to know your company has manufactured the candle. Company contact details can be added as well because many people want to know where the company is located and how to reach out to it.

Custom candle packaging that is flame-resistant is better able to protect the candle. It will be functional packaging that will be practical and easy to use. Customers prefer a box like this which protects the product and is not difficult to figure out.

 The packaging needs to be made with good-quality materials that are flame-resistant and should be designed so that it can appeal to the target audience looking to buy the candle product that your brand is selling even when the candle is with the competition.
