Aromatherapy & Home Fragrance

When packaging fragile, dense items like glass candle jars and diffuser bottles, aesthetics are only half the battle. The ideal packaging solution must prioritize the internal fit, ensuring there is just enough room for protective tissue paper, liners, or cushioning materials without allowing the product to shift during transit.

Below is our curated guide to selecting the perfect box for every type of home fragrance product.

1. Votives & Mini Candles (35g – 70g)

Ideal For: Wedding favors, travel-sized candles, sample sets, and corporate gifts.

Small candles require precise packaging to prevent rattling. These boxes are designed for products with a height and diameter of less than 6cm.

Recommended Box Models:

• XXS Cube
  • Size: 3x3x3in7.6*7.6*7.6cm
  • Inside Size: 2^3/8x2^5/8x2^3/4in6.1*6.6*7.1cm

  • Inside Size: 3^3/8x3^3/8x3^1/2in8.5*8.5*9cm
  • Why it works: Slightly more spacious, this box accommodates larger mini-candles and leaves ample room for a layer of bubble wrap or crinkle paper for added protection.

2. Standard Jar Candles (190g – 300g)

Ideal For: The retail industry standard (comparable to Diptyque or Jo Malone standard jars).

These are the most common candle sizes on the market, typically featuring a height of 8-10cm and a diameter of 7-8cm. Presentation here is key to justifying a premium price point.

  • Inside Size: 5^3/8x5^5/8x3^7/8in13.8*14.3*9.7cm
  • Why it works: An excellent choice for shorter, wider vessels, such as double-wick tin candles or ceramic bowls that don’t fit the standard vertical profile.

3. Large Multi-Wick Candles

Ideal For: Heavy, large-diameter candles (comparable to Bath & Body Works 3-wick candles).

For candles with a diameter of 10-12cm, structural integrity is paramount due to the significant weight of the wax and glass.

Recommended Box Models:

• B7 Cube
  • Size: 6x6x6in15.2*15.2*15.2cm
  • Inside Size: 5^3/8x5^5/8x5^3/4in13.7*14.2*14.7cm
  • Why it works: Designed for large luxury pillar candles or heavy glass jars. It offers robust protection for heavier items.
• A5 Deep
  • Size: 9^1/4x6^3/4x4in23.5*17*10.1cm
  • Inside Size: 8^5/8x6^1/4x3^3/4in22*16*9.6cm
  • Why it works: The perfect solution for gift sets. This box is wide enough to house two standard candles side-by-side, creating an impressive duo presentation.

4. Reed Diffusers & Room Sprays

The Challenge: Balancing the height of the bottle against the length of the reeds (typically 20-25cm).

Recommended Box Models:

• Wine XS
  • Size: 10×4^3/8x4^1/8in25.5*11*10.5cm
  • Inside Size: 9^1/2x3^7/8x3^7/8in24*10*10cm
  • Why it works: Tailor-made for tall, slender Room Spray bottles or shorter diffuser kits where the reeds are packaged separately or diagonally.
• Wine Short
  • Size: 12^3/4x4^3/8x4^1/8in32.5*11*10.5cm
  • Inside Size: 12^1/4x3^7/8x3^7/8in31*10*10cm
  • Why it works: The top choice for standard Reed Diffuser sets. The length easily accommodates the bottle along with a full packet of reeds without bending them.
