Candle Labels

Create expressive and innovative labels with label.co.uk. Discover how you can appeal to new audiences if you inspire them with a unique label design. Our labels make sure your candles have a competitive advantage at the point of sale.

With this in mind, how can you make sure people will buy your product? Here are a few points we’ve found to be important to consider for successful candle businesses looking to print premium, bespoke candle labels.

Whether you want to apply custom printed candle labels to jars, bottles or pots, you’ll need to be able to produce the right size labels to ensure a professional, seamless fit.

There is a large number of different dimensions of jars used in candle manufacturing; not just in terms of shape but also size, diameter and volume. Whichever kind of label you are going to apply, you’ll need to be able to determine the exact size.

When it comes to the application of candle labels to pots, you may need a circular label made to a non-standard diameter or a square label with rounded corners. As a professional label manufacturer, we offer all custom shapes and sizes for candle labels.

For businesses with a number of candle scents within their range, digital label printing offers many advantages. If the size of the labels remains the same across all varieties, we can produce all of your custom label designs in just one print run. This allows you to keep the printing process for your candle labels cost-effective.

Digital label printing also allows you to have seasonal varieties printed alongside your core range. You are free to split the total number of labels produced across an unlimited number of scents. This is also useful if you have a clear best seller. Simply share a larger proportion of the overall order to this particular scent.

At label.co.uk we offer you a large variety of materials to print your labels on. With our textured papers, films and different sustainable materials we give you the opportunity to create, inspiring, authentic, bespoke labels. If you want to know more about our materials and their features you can explore our material guide or order our free sample book. 

If you want to have your labels produced on a very specific material, that you cannot find in our calculator or in our material guide, just contact us. On request we can order certain materials for you.

But that’s not all! Give your adhesive labels on rolls a luxurious finishing touch to unleash their creative potential. Just choose between our array of different finishings. Whether it’s hot foil stamping or a protective varnish: combine these finishes with our premium materials and set your products up for success.

Is there mandatory information for candle labels?

Candles that contain essential oils or fragrances fall under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging regulation (CLP for short). This means that scented candle labels must show:

• health warnings
• environmental warnings
• precautionary statements
• safety pictograms

where necessary. Depending on the kind and concentration of the substances your candles might not need a CLP label at all. The candle wax per se is not classified as hazardous. Therefore, candles without additional oils or fragrances do not fall under CLP regulations.

Pro tip: You can create several labels for your candles. One CLP label that you can stick on the back, or outside packaging, and one label that you can design all according to your wishes.

Which design elements should my candle labels have?

Including your logo in your label design is always a good idea. It is your brand’s figurehead and creates a sense of recognition. Colour coding is a useful design tool, especially with candle labels. Depending on the ingredients and fragrances you can use different colours to evoke certain associations with potential customers. That makes it easier for them to determine at one glance if your product is in line with their preferences.
