Here’s 7 things that will upgrade your candle boxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Soft-touch is a matte finish that is applied to paperboard. It’s like peach skin or suede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When someone touches a soft-touch box, they think “This is quality. This is luxury”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best for:<\/strong> Luxury brands, minimalist, modern home decor candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Foil stamping creates a shimmer to your brand name, logo or design elements. Commonly used foils are gold and silver, but rose gold, copper and holographic foils are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A tiny gold logo on a soft-touch black box is simply beautiful. It does not shout. It whispers luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best for: <\/strong>Christmas and limited editions, gift-oriented brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Embossing makes your design or logo stand out from the box. Debossing is stamped into the material. They both add a tactile texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The logo on the kraft paper box is organic. An embossed logo on a soft-touch box is rich and luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best for: <\/strong>Organic or natural candle brands, traditional brands, minimalist designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spot UV is a shiny coating that you apply to a small part of your box – typically your logo or other design elements. The remainder of the box is matte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Spot UV<\/strong> is subtle but effective. It might not be obvious, but it’s noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best for: <\/strong>Contemporary companies, high-tech designs, high-end retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A window cutout allows the candle to be viewed. The windows are typically made with clear PET film or PLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A candle in a simple box is a mystery. A candle on display is beckoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good for:<\/strong> Colored candles, jars, brands in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kraft paperboard is a natural brown color. It is also 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Paperboard can be recycled and is made from post-consumer material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A brown box with a sunken logo and a brown paper lining tells a story. It translates as: “We provide quality. And we recycle.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Great for: <\/strong>Sustainable brands, organic candles, farmhouse d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnetic closures are magnets in the lid and bottom of a rigid box. When you shut the box, the magnets “click” into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The click is not just a sound. It is a message. It says: “This is a quality product. You can trust this brand.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best for: <\/strong>Packaging and gift boxes, limited editions, candles costing more than $50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When customers touch and see these finishes, they expect that the candle is as good. This enables you to sell for a higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What the research shows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can sell a candle for $20. That same candle in a soft touch, foil-stamped, magnetically sealed box might sell for $50 or even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all finishes will work for all brands. Here is a simple guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For holiday and gift collections:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to creating a first-class product offering, nothing beats custom rigid candle boxes with soft-touch coating, foil stamping and magnetic closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luxury candle boxes are more than just packaging. They are marketing tools. They make something seem more valuable, more desirable and a first-time purchase into a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The luxury candle industry is increasing by more than 11% every year. Companies that focus on premium packaging will be in the mix. Those that don’t, will miss out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your candle might be amazing. But they’ll see the box first. Make it unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to The Premier Packaging<\/em> for bespoke fancy candle boxes with soft-touch, foil-stamped, magnetic closures, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Go into any home gift shop.
