chrisasst Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I was wondering if any of you make your own boxes for like your jar candles. I was thinking about using heavy photo paper so I could print on them and then fold it to make a box, but I don't really know how I would fold it correctly. Any templates out there.

beekeeper_sd Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 How about buying a candle in a box and using that as a template? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Boxes for what purpose?No, I have never considered nor would I ever make my own boxes. For anything.If I did, which I wouldn't, I wouldn't use heavy photo paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I was hoping to make a box for this...I think I can get boxes at uline that are close.($.40 per box when shipping is included) I was hoping to be able to make a box out of photo type paper so I could print logo and such on the box...and hoping to make them cheaper than I could buy them for..

NaturallyTru Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would think a photo paper box would be too flimsy for a candle jar over 2-3 ounces. Trudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Just seems like alot of effort when there are places to buy boxes. I also think photo paper would be flimsy. Check around.Sure you can find some reasonable without all the work.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I make origami boxes for soap in my special gift baskets. They are purely for show. I used to make my own pillow boxes but the time to make them negated any cost savings I may have had. Buy your boxes, and spend your time on some label design to jazz up them up.~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would buy the boxes and some full sheet labels and have some fun with them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
