Candles ship best in corrugated boxes with kraft paper or air-pillow void fill. Most brands choose 6x4x4, 6x5x5, 6x5x4 with ECT-32 for single vessels and step up to double-wall (ECT-44+) for candle gift sets.

Frequently asked

What size box for a single candle?

A standard 8oz–12oz candle ships in an 8x6x4 or 10x6x4 corrugated box with cushioning.

Do candles need double-wall corrugated?

Single candles ship fine in ECT-32. Multi-packs, gift sets, and large vessels benefit from ECT-44+ or double-wall.

Can I ship candles in a poly mailer?

No — glass candle vessels crack without rigid protection. Use corrugated plus fill.

What fill works best for candle jars?

Kraft paper wrap around each vessel plus air-pillow or peanut void fill to immobilize the jar inside the box.
