Toni S. Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 When you say "package" your candles, what are you making? Are they containers, votives, pillars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candles by Lisa Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 all different candles mainly votives at the minute but was just looking for general all round ideas:DI don't wrap up votives - too small and fiddley - I sometimes put them in organza bags for weddings and things. Pretty much everything else goes in cellophane bags or wraps. I am looking into plastic tubing but this will need to wait until I have enough money.All the best.Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni S. Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 When I was making votives, I would shrink wrap them and they still got dinged up everytime I shuffeled them from craft fair to craft fair. I guess it's OK if they aren't moved around too much. I presently don't do the votives anymore because they are so time consuming and a person doesn't make much on them. I know alot of candle makers use the plastic tubes for votives but I can't speak from experience on those. I've also seen them sold without any sort of wrapping but in my opinion, I don't care for that. A product always looks much more eye appealing if it's packaged. Good luck on whatever you decide..
