Forrest Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’ve got my wicking down for most of my FOs in 8oz tins and I plan on pouring a year’s supply of each starting tomorrow. Mostly I use painter’s tape to label my candles, but I’ll be giving some of these as gifts and would like to do something a little nicer for these. So I’m wondering what size label works best on an 8oz tin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I use 1.5” tall by 6” long for a face label. Or 1.5” tall by 11” for a wraparound. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I just got some 10oz tins from CW to play with. I’m going to use them with the CBL 125. I’m really excited about it! This gives me a starting point for label design, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowButterfly Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Forrest, are you looking for a top label for your tins, as well as a wrap around label? Here are my thoughts: for top label, a 2 inch round label or 2.5 inch round (largest to avoid label hangover on top) and/or a rectangular label or a wrap around label. I'm in the same boat as you, buddy, and I am designing labels as we speak/type. 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Ah yes. For top 2.5” on an 8 oz tin is usually just about right. I use clear tops so it’s got space while tie tin tops usually have some embossing at the rim. Good call @YellowButterfly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowButterfly Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Clear tops, you say...? @TallTayl😁 Hmmmm🤔 How are those clear tops working for you? I wonder about ink rubbing off/smearing, or something crazy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I love the clear tops. It increased my sales noticeably at in person events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could go with the mystery candles approach and let everyone pick their candles based on smell🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
