Candle Labels: What Do I Need?

In the world of candles, it’s not just the scent that sells—it’s also the presentation. Whether you’re crafting artisanal soy candles or luxurious, scented paraffin blends, how you label your candles can make all the difference. Candle enthusiasts are drawn to beautiful packaging that reflects the quality and personality of your brand. And at the heart of this packaging is your label.

At A4Labels.com, we understand that choosing the right label is essential for your candles to stand out on shelves and communicate your brand story. Let’s explore the key factors in selecting the best self-adhesive labels for your candle business.

Showcase Your Brand Identity

Your candle labels are a canvas for creativity and storytelling. Whether you prefer minimalist designs, intricate illustrations, or bold typography, your label choice should allow for high-quality printing that reflects your brand’s identity. Some examples of what labels can achieve for your image are listed below

Brown Kraft: This label is used to create a high-end, vintage affect with style and is often used by candle companies as well as many wine and whiskey companies and the growing industry of male grooming products. Although some colours show up on a brown label, we often suggest a black only print to get the best effect. For Brown Kraft Labels click here…

Transparent: This is a perfect solution for all branding, no label. The effect of this label really helps your artwork stand our compared to the packaging. This label is more suitable to artworks of a bright nature with colour to ensure it glows compared to your competitors. Click on one of our 4 options below!

Gloss Transparent (Inkjet)
Gloss Transparent (Laser)
Matt Transparent (Laser)
Biodegradable Transparent Paper (Laser)

Biodegradable: In a world that is becoming more and more conscious of our effect on the environment having an eco-friendly product could be the difference in gaining those extra sales. Our white biodegradable has a lovely laid texture to the face of the label with a high end print quality to give your candle a touch of class. For Biodegradable Labels click here…

White Poly: Messy candles? Look no further, our white polyester labels are waterproof, oil proof and most importantly, wax proof! Our most robust label is perfect for a strong hold and a bright, wipeable face, so no matter how messy your product gets, you are one wipe away from a clean fresh look on your branding. For White Polyester Labels click here…
