Candle Labels and Stickers
Personalised candle labels will help your candles shine brightly. It's not just the pleasant aromas that will keep your customers coming back for more, but the way the candle is presented, too. A luxury candle label can turn your candles into statement pieces and leave a long-lasting impression on your customers.
Candle sticker labels are an essential component of the finished product and must have specific information on them if they are going to be sold. If you plan on selling your candles, you will also want to include scent information and branding on the candle sticker.
Materials - What Are Candle Labels Made From?
We offer a wide range of candle label materials to choose from. Often, a cost-effective premium paper label will do, but some candles include essential oils or fragrances that can discolour the sticker; in this instance, a laminated vinyl option would be more suitable.
Our most cost-effective paper materials are commonly used or our more popular self-extinguishing vinyl (white gloss and white matt vinyl), which will withstand a higher temperature should it come into contact with a naked flame.
Silver and Gold Metallic vinyl are sometimes used for a luxurious look, and lastly, for something different, crystal frost applied to glass candles looks spectacularly good.
Candle Label Adhesives
From a labelling perspective, four standard types of candles will govern the choice of adhesive you'll go for. There is no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to custom candle labels; that's why it's best to do a trial and order a free sample pack.
For wax melts, the labels are generally applied straight to packaging, so there are fewer restrictions on personalised candle labels. Still, we recommend our popular paper products or matte and glossy vinyl with a permanent adhesive.
Votive candles are named after the small religious offering candles - usually found in a glass container or jar. The name can encompass larger types of candles too, but in this context, we're referring to any candles supplied in a container or candle jar, in which case, removable adhesive will be preferable. If the label comes in contact with essential oils, laminated vinyl would be our choice.
Pillar and tapered candles can be labelled directly, and since the wax has low adhesion properties, a standard permanent adhesive may be a good choice, as it can be easily peeled off. Still, we would always recommend extra-permanent (high-tack) adhesive.
Finally, rolled beeswax and ice candles have a rough surface and are typically wrapped. In this case, cost-effective, permanent candle stickers can be used since the packaging will be discarded.
Candle labels for wax melts and scented candles
Scented candles and wax melts are a great way to make your home smell amazing! They usually contain essential or fragrance oils that emit pleasing smells before being lit or heated. Before lighting, this is known as a cold throw scent; whilst burning, it is known as a hot throw scent.
