    Branded Candle Packaging That Builds Your Shelf Identity

    Custom printed candle boxes designed to protect your candles during transit and present them beautifully on the shelf. Available in any size with premium finishing options.

    01

    Vivid Full Colour Printing

    Your candle box is printed in full CMYK colour with crisp detail on every panel. Whether your design is bold and graphic or minimal and elegant, the print quality brings your vision to life.

    02

    Custom Sizes and Dimensions

    We manufacture candle boxes to your exact measurements. Whether you produce tealights, votives, pillar candles, or large jar candles, your box is built to fit snugly and securely.

    03

    Eco-Friendly Material Options

    Kraft cardboard is a popular choice for candle brands with a natural aesthetic. Recycled board is also available. Both options are fully recyclable and align with sustainability-focused branding.

    04

    Premium Finish Options

    Choose from matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV, or foil stamping. A matte finish paired with foil accents is particularly popular for candle packaging, lending a tactile quality that feels premium.

    05

    Ideal for Candle Retail

    Candle boxes serve a dual purpose. They protect candles from scuffing and breakage during shipping, and they provide an attractive display surface for retail environments, markets, and online product photography.

    06

    Fast 8-10 Day Turnaround

    Your candle boxes are produced within 8 to 10 business days after proof approval. This allows you to plan product launches and seasonal collections with confidence.

    07

    Low Minimum Orders

    Flexible minimum order quantities make it easy to start small. We recommend beginning at 100 units, which is ideal for new candle brands testing the market or running limited seasonal scents.

    08

    Free Australia-Wide Shipping

    All orders ship free within Australia. Your candle boxes arrive flat-packed for easy storage and are ready to fold and fill when you need them.

    09

    Window Cut-Out Option

    Add a die-cut window to your candle box to let customers see the product inside. Window cut-outs work especially well at markets and in retail settings where visual product appeal drives purchasing decisions.

    Brilliant experience from start to finish

    “I'd been searching for a packaging supplier for my new skincare line and Custom Cardboard Boxes absolutely delivered. Sophie walked me through the whole process, from choosing the right box style to finalising the artwork. She was incredibly patient when I kept changing my mind on colours and never once made me feel like a hassle. The finished product looks unreal. The print quality is spot on and my customers have been commenting on how premium everything looks. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

    Top-notch custom mailer boxes for our coffee brand

    “We've just received our first order of custom mailer boxes and honestly, they've exceeded all expectations. Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure. He was super responsive, always kept us in the loop, and even suggested a few tweaks to our design that made the final product look way more professional. The turnaround time was faster than we expected and the pricing was very competitive. We'll definitely be ordering again for our next roast release.”

    Charlotte was absolutely fantastic

    “Charlotte was absolutely fantastic to work with. As a small business owner just starting out with handmade candles, I had no idea what I needed in terms of packaging. She took the time to explain all the different options, helped me pick the right size and material, and the design team nailed my artwork on the first go. The boxes arrived in perfect condition and they look gorgeous. My brand feels so much more legit now. Thank you, Charlotte!”

    Exceptional quality and service, highly recommend

    “We've been working with Custom Cardboard Boxes since we launched our botanical skincare range and they've been nothing short of brilliant. Liz has been our main contact and she's always gone above and beyond to make sure everything is sorted. The print quality on our boxes is crisp, the colours are bang on, and the packaging feels really sturdy and premium. We've tried other suppliers before but none have come close to the level of service and quality we get here. Will not be going anywhere else.”

    Great product, slight delay on shipping

    “The boxes themselves are fantastic. Really well made, colours came out perfectly, and the design team were really helpful during the proofing stage. Tom was great to deal with and answered all my questions promptly. Shipping took a touch longer than originally quoted, but I understand these things happen and the end result was well worth the wait. Overall a really positive experience and I'd still recommend them to anyone looking for custom packaging.”

    Made my small business look like a big brand

    “I recently launched my first range of protein bars and needed packaging that would really stand out on shelves. Michael was so helpful and patient as we worked through different design concepts and box styles. He even helped me adjust my artwork to make sure the print came out perfectly. When the boxes arrived, I was absolutely stoked. They look incredibly professional and the quality is outstanding. Custom Cardboard Boxes has genuinely taken my brand to the next level. Can't thank them enough.”

    Perfect custom belly bands for our soap range

    “We ordered custom belly bands for our artisan soap range and they turned out beautifully. Amie was our point of contact and she was lovely to deal with. Really communicative and made the whole process dead easy. The print quality is crisp, the fit around our bars is spot on, and they've given our products such a polished, professional look. The pricing was also very reasonable compared to what we were quoted elsewhere. Already planning our next order!”

    Fast turnaround and outstanding results

    “We needed custom packaging for a product launch and were working to a really tight deadline. Eric was brilliant. He got everything sorted quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. The auto-lock boxes we ordered are sturdy, the print is sharp, and the whole unboxing experience looks premium. I was genuinely impressed by how fast they turned everything around without compromising on quality. Will absolutely be using Custom Cardboard Boxes for all our future orders.”

    Excellent service, Kevin was a legend

    “This was our first time ordering custom packaging and we were a bit nervous about the whole process. Kevin put us at ease straight away. He was super communicative, explained everything clearly, and made brilliant suggestions that improved our original design. The finished boxes look absolutely mint and arrived right on schedule. Our customers have already been raving about the packaging. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cheers, Kevin!”

    Really happy with the end result

    “Ordered custom gift boxes for my online boutique and the quality is lovely. The cardboard is thick and sturdy, the printing is sharp, and the colours match my branding perfectly. Davis was my main contact and he was really easy to work with. Always quick to reply and happy to help with any changes. The only minor thing was a small delay getting the initial proof back, but once that was sorted everything moved along smoothly. Would happily order from Custom Cardboard Boxes again.”

    Custom Candle Boxes for Australian Candle Brands

    Packaging shapes the purchase

    The candle market in Australia continues to grow, and packaging plays a significant role in how customers perceive your product. A well-designed candle box does more than protect your candle during shipping. It communicates your brand story, sets expectations for quality, and creates an unboxing moment that encourages repeat purchases and social media sharing.

    Sized to every candle

    Our custom candle boxes are manufactured to fit your exact candle dimensions, whether you produce small tealights, standard jar candles, or large pillar candles. Each box is printed in full colour with your artwork, giving you complete control over how your product is presented. For candle makers who sell at markets, in retail stores, and online, consistent branded packaging is one of the most effective ways to build recognition and trust.

    Sleeves and mailers to match

    Many candle brands also order complementary packaging such as product sleeves or branded mailer boxes for their e-commerce fulfilment. We can coordinate production across multiple packaging items to keep everything aligned and on schedule.
