What are custom votive candle boxes?
Custom votive candle boxes are compact folding cartons, multi-cavity drawer sets, and rigid presentation boxes tailored to 1.8 oz freestanding wax plugs and 2 oz to 3 oz poured mini glass tumblers. Because votives are the primary way fragrance shoppers sample a brand before committing to a full-size vessel, their packaging serves two distinct roles: single 2-inch cubes for boutique checkout counters and event favors, and partitioned 3-pack, 4-pack, or 12-pack discovery flights that keep delicate mini glasses from clinking together in the mail. For unwrapped wax votives, interior lamination stops fragrance oils from spotting the paperboard. At CubitPack, custom votive candle boxes start at 1,000 units for folding and corrugated styles (50 units for rigid boxes) and ship in 10 to 14 business days, with 4 to 5 day rush available. Every order includes free structural dielines, zero die or plate charges, guaranteed Pantone matching, and free shipping to all 50 states.

Every votive carton is cut to your exact inside dimensions (length × width × height in inches) with no cutting die fees. Check whether you are packing a bare 15-hour freestanding wax plug (which tapers from 1.75 in at the top to 1.5 in at the base) or a poured 2 oz to 3 oz glass votive holder, and add 0.125 inches per divider wall on multi-votive sets. Whether you are comparing votive candle packaging, mini candle discovery set boxes, 2 oz votive candle boxes, votive candle gift set boxes or printed votive favor boxes, we size the template to your exact container.

What are the most common custom votive candle box mistakes?
Oil-stained cartons, clinking mini glasses, and unreadable 4 pt text come from treating 2-inch votives like scaled-down 9 oz tumblers. Check these five. When specifying votive candle boxes with logo, branded votive candle boxes, wholesale votive candle boxes, bulk custom votive candle boxes and personalized votive candle boxes, avoid these common production mistakes
- Packing unwrapped scented wax votive plugs in unlaminated paperboard, allowing fragrance oils to stain the carton walls.
- Putting three 2 oz glass votive tumblers into a tray-and-sleeve box without a 3-cell divider to stop glass-to-glass impact.
- Scaling down a 9 oz jar box layout onto a 2-inch votive cube without enlarging small ingredient and warning type to at least 6 pt.
- Omitting the 'Burn only in a tight-fitting votive holder' warning on cartons for freestanding 15-hour wax votive plugs.
- Using a reverse tuck end instead of a straight tuck end on a 2-inch display cube, leaving a raw cut edge visible on the front face.

The price depends on four things, and every custom quote is free.
Single cube vs multi-pack set
A single 2-inch tuck cube uses far less board than a 3-votive tray-and-sleeve boxDivider or foam insert
Adding a 3-cell card divider or a 6-well EVA foam tray adds a second die-cut componentOrder quantity
Small 2-inch cubes nest efficiently on press sheets, dropping unit cost rapidly at 2,500+ unitsFoil & ribbon finishing
Soft-touch film, metallic foil stamping and satin drawer ribbons add finishing stepsBecause single 2.125-inch votive cubes have a tiny flat footprint, we can fit multiple scent colorways onto the same press sheet. Gang-running four or six single-votive scents together lets you hit higher volume price breaks across your whole mini line. First orders get 10% off, and we beat written US competitor quotes.

A US business you can checkVotive candle boxes questions
What size box fits a standard 2 oz glass votive candle?
A standard 2 oz poured glass votive tumbler measures roughly 2.0 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches tall. For a snug single retail carton, 2.125 × 2.125 × 2.6875 inches is the standard inside size. For a heavier 3 oz mini glass (2.25 × 2.75 in), use 2.375 × 2.375 × 2.9375 inches.
What size box holds three 2 oz glass votives side by side in a discovery set?
Three 2.0-inch diameter votive glasses arranged in a 3 × 1 row with two 0.125-inch partition walls between them fit inside a 6.625 × 2.25 × 2.6875 inch or 6.875 × 2.375 × 2.75 inch tray-and-sleeve or magnetic book box.
How do you stop unwrapped freestanding wax votives from leaving oil spots on the box?
Scented soy, coconut and beeswax votive plugs release fragrance oils when stored in warm rooms, which can leave translucent grease rings on bare paperboard. We apply a thin interior matte or gloss film lamination inside the carton and divider so oils cannot wick into the paper fibers.
What is the minimum order for custom votive candle boxes?
Custom printed folding paperboard cartons and E-flute corrugated votive boxes start at 1,000 units. If you are building a luxury 3-votive, 6-votive, or 12-votive holiday gift set in a rigid two-piece, drawer, or magnetic box, our rigid minimum is just 50 boxes.
Can I gang-run multiple scents in my 1,000-box votive order?
Yes. Because single 2-inch votive boxes share the exact same compact dieline and board stock, you can split your 1,000-unit run across multiple fragrance colorways and scent names. Note your scent count in the quote form.
Should a single votive box use a straight tuck end or an auto lock bottom?
For a lightweight 1.8 oz freestanding wax plug or a standard 2 oz glass votive (under 5.5 oz total weight), a straight tuck end (STE) cube is strong enough and leaves all four side panels free of raw cut edges. For 3 oz heavy-sham mini glasses or 6-pack boxes, step up to an auto lock bottom.
Can you build a countertop display tray that holds 12 or 24 boxed votive candles?
Yes. Many fragrance brands order individual 2.125-inch votive cubes alongside a matching 12-count or 24-count PDQ counter display tray with a fold-up header card so retail stockists can place the whole scent collection beside the register.
What safety warnings should go on a freestanding wax votive box vs a glass votive box?
Both require standard ASTM F2058 candle fire-safety pictograms on the bottom or back panel. For unwrapped freestanding wax votive plugs, always add the explicit instruction 'Burn only in a tight-fitting votive holder' because molded votives are designed to liquefy completely into a cup.
How long does production take for custom printed votive candle boxes?
Standard production takes 10 to 14 business days after you approve your free 2D dieline proof and 3D mockup. If you have an upcoming wedding, corporate event, or holiday launch, 4 to 5 business day rush production is available, and US ground shipping is free.
Do you also print small wrap labels and bottom warning stickers for 2 oz votives?
Yes. We print custom candle labels and small 1.25-inch or 1.5-inch round bottom warning stickers starting at 500 pieces, matched to the exact Pantone colors and foil finishes of your votive cartons.
