bfroberts Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 They will get handled a lot so they need some kind of protection. I'm not sure that boxes are going to hold up to people constantly opening and closing them to sniff, but I have no idea what other options there may be. All I can come up with is a cello bag, but then people can't sniff. Google was no help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncraiders Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I would think it would depend on the type of box you use. Some may not hold up to well but others i would think should hold up pretty good. It would also depend on where and how they are being sold as well. What about something like this https://www.papermart.com/burgundy-frame-plastic-boxes/id=16632 just did a really quick search and found that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Shrink wrap maybe...and cut a hole around the wick for smell factor - seems store bought ones have that thick noisy plastic with holes on top but that’s all I got I like boxes not agree they wouldn’t hold up with everyone wanting to look and smell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can come up with is a cello bag, but then people can't sniff. Google was no help. I'm wrestling the same problem now. I've thought about having small pillars for each one, so the customer can use them like testers at the cosmetic counter in the department stores. I'm going to use a combination of cellophane bags, boxes, and those mylar stand up ziplock pouches depending on the candle. That's the plan anyway. But you're right, there will always be the person that just has to open the carton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the boxes will work, because a lot of my buyers also have transport issues, but some of the cylinder containers might. Thanks.

They've got to be out there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The national shrink wrap system works great. Packco inc has tubes big enough for most. For my 3” square pillars candles and supplies (I think) has loads of bags that fit well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I shrink wrap mine with an opening around the wick so customers can smell them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave the bottoms on mine open over the warning sticker to keep the tops clean. Holes around my wicks (or anywhere) end up with dust and discoloration. (Beeswax). My signage instructs to smell the bottoms. Keeps dust out of noses and gives a really strong whiff concentrated against the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
