A label for each scent
Digital printing lets you change the scent name, colour and notes on every label with no extra plate costs, so a 12-scent range does not need 12 big runs.

Why it matters
Built for candle labels.
Seasonal drops without waste
Autumn, holiday and Valentine releases can run in a small run, then end, and you are not left with a box of outdated labels.
Gift-ready finishes
Gold foil and raised UV elevate the label without a new jar, helpful for markets, holiday fairs and wholesale lines.
Space for the small print
Put burn instructions, warnings, weight and batch information on a clean bottom label, keeping the front label uncluttered.
How to spec your candle labels
A die-cut or rounded rectangle label is the usual choice for the front of the jar, with a round label on the lid or bottom for burn time, scent notes and safety text. Pick matte for a modern look and add foil or raised UV where you want a hand-finished touch.
Make the artwork work
Test your label on one finished candle before ordering a whole run. Check that the colour contrast works on both light and dark wax, and that the label edge does not meet the lid seam or the curve of the glass.

Candle Labels FAQ
Common
questions.
Can the labels go directly on a jar that gets warm?+
Labels should sit on the side of the container, away from the flame and the wick. A jar wall gets warm as a candle burns, so test a short run on your own jars and burn it to see how the label holds up.
Do I need warning labels on candles?+
Many candle makers include burn and safety warnings, and some retailers require them. Standards and requirements differ by market, so check what applies to your candles and where you will sell them, and include that text in your artwork.
Should I order a sheet or a roll for hand application?+
If you apply labels by hand in small batches, sheet labels peel easily and store flat. For larger weekly runs or a dispenser, roll labels are faster. Both print on the same waterproof BOPP stock.
