Candle Labels
Front, warning and lid labels for jars, tins and boxes that stay put on frosted glass and warm containers, and carry the look of the brand: textured papers, foil, kraft and clean film.
- Glass jars (clear, frosted, coloured), metal tins and kraft boxes
- Adhesives tested on frosted and coated glass and for warm-container use
- Textured papers, kraft, foil and embossing for the brand label; film for the warning label
- Small warning text and safety symbols printed legibly
Tell us the container, the conditions and the line; we propose the construction and confirm it with samples.

Challenges
Problems we solve in candles
The problems that come up most often in candle projects, and how the construction answers them.
Challenge
Frosted and coated glass
Labels lift at the edges on frosted, matte or coated jars.
What we do: high-tack adhesive on a paper or film face stock, with samples applied to your jar and checked after a few days for edge lift.
Challenge
Warm jars and tins
Heat from the burning candle softens adhesives and curls paper labels near the top of the jar.
What we do: adhesive and position chosen for warm-container use, and film for warning labels on the base; we confirm with your container and wax.
Challenge
Premium texture versus small text
Linen and felt papers look right but swallow fine warning text.
What we do: textured paper for the front label and coated paper or film for the warning label; type sizes checked at proofing.
Challenge
Hand application in small batches
Labels applied by hand go on crooked or bubble on curved jars.
What we do: easy-peel liners, sheets or small rolls, and label shapes sized for the curve of the jar; roll specification when you move to a machine.

FAQ
See All FAQs Questions about candles labels
Will the label stay on a frosted jar?
With a high-tack adhesive, yes. Frosted and coated glass needs a test: we send samples in the proposed construction for you to apply and check after a few days.
Does heat from the candle affect the label?
It can soften adhesives near the top of the jar. We choose adhesive and label position for warm-container use and confirm with your container and wax.
Can I use textured paper for the warning label?
We recommend coated paper or film for the warning label so small text and pictograms stay legible, and textured paper for the front label.
Can I order several fragrances in one run?
Yes. Quantities are quoted per design and the construction stays the same, so every jar in the range labels the same way.
