You put a lot of care and attention into creating candles your customers will love, so you’ll want to put just as much into making sure those candles arrive safely. Here are two tips to pack candles for shipping that ensure they reach their final destination in prime condition and look their best when customers unbox them.
1. Choose the Right Shipping Boxes
Most candles are poured into a glass jar or tin. This makes them highly susceptible to damage from the bumps, drops, and jostles inherent in the shipping process. Selecting the right shipping container protects your candles during their journey, ensuring they make it to their final destination in pristine condition. An ideal box for shipping candles is one made from sturdy, corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard has an outer and inner layer separated by a fluted middle layer. These three layers provide ample protection and cushioning for candles in transit. Finally, the right shipping box for your candles should be slightly larger than the candle itself. This ensures there will be enough space for packing material inside the box.
2. Pack with Care
While corrugated folding cartons provide a strong outer layer of protection, they don’t eliminate the need for interior padding. Packing material like shredded kraft paper or bubble wrap keeps the candle from moving around inside the box. The more movement, the greater the chances the glass jar will break or the tin will dent.
