  1. Beautiful candles, is it your product? I also noticed that the box is beautiful and noone can offer me the same one for that 3.5" or 6" tall canles. I just went to Saks and looked what they sell "on sale", they look horrible without box and poorely poored. The other kind with boxes at $18 were nice palm wax candles with satin inside and some ribbons around.....but after all, the wholesale is probably $8-9 for these...how can they budget $3 for the packaing....?
  2. Thank you for all your replies. I agree it's all about target market. IF I sell them at the state fair, that would be a different story, but if I sell them at some upscale reatailer, that would be different and Yankee candle packaging probably won't work in there....
  3. Tons of websites...anything from koolprints.com to retailpackaging.com...I checked at least 30 websites..
  4. Thank you! What I can find is that all of the offered packaging is way shorter than 6" and it goes as deep as 3"..so in my case when candles are 3"-6" tall it's really hard to find anything close. Also, if I get the boxes they offer then the candles would have to have some inserts in the box, to hold them ...another headache...and not too many offer inserts ...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :embarasse
  5. Forgot to ask...what percent of the retail price should packaging be?
  6. Thank you all, Glow,,,, you said you spent this amount for packaging...how many candles are you talking about? Most of the places start from 1000. I want to start with 500 and go up each month. Most prices I get are anything from $3-5 for 500 and goes down to $2.8 for 1000. It's hard to decide ...either spend $4 for high end premium box ...(which is insane I think) or go with the regular collaps. type of 1 piece colored box with logo and stamping, etc...
  7. Hello, I am just wondering, how important the packaging is and how does it affect the price? I am looking for a perfect reatil packaging soultions for my candles and the cheap one piece box would cost me around $1.20 ( with all design, etc) and 2 piece nice box with inserts goes as high at $4!!!! Now I am wondering...how really important the packaging in candle business!? Thank you!!!
  8. Couldn't find anything there... I am looking for probably 2 piece 4X4 box now with some velvet type inserts...
  9. Thank you , I will try these. I just see that many companies have such nice packaging and what most of the websites offer is way below what you see in the stores...
  10. Hello, does anyone know any affordable candle packaging soultions? Like 2 piece premium box type? ANy good sources? (besides top google ones..like usbox, etc...?) Thanks!!!
  11. Hello, I am looking for some affordable retail packaging for my 3.5X6 candles. Can be some 2 piece box, etc...Any ideas? Besides usbox.com, etc... websites, does anyone know good sources?
  12. Thank you. How come I can't find any info on hemp wicks...or there are another name for them?
  13. Do you have any general rule for using hemp wicks in soy/parafin candles?
  14. Hello there, I need your help! I don;t want to spend 10 years experimenting with different kinds of wicks and was wondering any there are any specific rules about what type to use for different kind of candles. I am trying to find the right wick for both soy and parafin wax candles. I am using hemp wick and it's ok, but wonder if there any rule for using different types of wicks. Help!
  15. Thank you, too funny it's the one I found so far. Will try them. Thank you!
