    The candle stickers and labels market has really taken off in recent years, with lots of brands bringing new scents, ingredients and styles to choose from.

    This popularity is great, but with that comes increased competition, so it’s vital that your candle labels stand out to attract more sales. This is why we only use Xeikon presses and premium stock for our candle label printing. The design will be brought to life with superb detail and rich colour to make your candles look as luxurious as possible.

    Customise your candle labels to your exact needs

    You can choose any shape and size so they fit your candles perfectly. You can also choose from paper (more cost-effective) or vinyl polypropylene (waterproof and extra-durable). You can even choose from a wide range of finishes for your custom candle labels, including matt, gloss, metallic, textured paper, clear and more.

    How will you apply yours?

    What you pour your wax into typically comes down to the personal preference you have for your candle brand.

    Glass jars are popular choices due to being transparent and heat resistant. Metal tins are equally suitable and allow (normally unlike glass) for a range of colours. Plus, stoneware and ceramic are becoming increasingly popular due to the latest contemporary home design trends, with pastel colours and stone textures gaining a following. 

    Many also include lids which you may want to label as well.

    There are also plenty of candle holders out there in endless shapes and sizes that you may want to label, especially if you sell them in combination with your candles, or even just on their own.

    Whichever route you choose, we only use strong adhesive to ensure that your new labels will stick securely on any kind of surface material, with no peeling even when the container is warm due to the melted wax inside.

    All our printed candle labels come with quick turnaround as standard and FREE next-day UK delivery after dispatch. You can also upload your own artwork, or have a bespoke, expert design made by us if you don’t have your own yet.

  • More Info

    According to studies, the UK spends over £90million per year on scented yankee candles. This makes the UK one of the largest candle markets in Europe. Popularity is also on the rise across the world in many emerging markets. And quality is now more important than ever. Millions are willing to splash out on the highest quality candles with purer ingredients and beautiful scents to fill their homes. But when it comes to candles, it suffers the same problem as many other products: customers don’t know how good they are until they’ve actually used them.

    This is where branding is so important, and particularly a good quality label. It’s usually one of the first promotional pieces a potential customer will see, so your candle labels must exude quality to attract more sales. Just the label alone - with the right design, text, material and print quality - can make a substantial difference. This is why we only use high-resolution printing and Xeikon toner on premium stock. This will allow your custom labels to stand up there with the biggest brands in terms of print detail, colour richness and overall quality. Plus, with our highly-efficient Xeikon presses, we can offer this level of quality at some of the UK’s best prices – whether you need a small run or millions of labels for large-scale production.

    What are the best materials and adhesives for candle label printing?

    Typically candles have removable outer packaging where the label is applied, so paper with permanent adhesive is a good choice that’s more cost-effective. Many customers also prefer the silkier finish of paper vs polypropylene, the latter of which is more plastic in nature.

    That being said, you may have pillar, votive or tapered candles with scents. If so, they will likely include essential oils, and may stain the label if they come into contact with the wax. In this case, waterproof polypropylene will have better longevity. This material is also essential if you’re selling floating candles and intend for the label to be kept on the outer floating container.

    Something else to keep in mind, especially with attractive jar and container candles, is that someone may want to keep them afterwards for other uses. If that’s the case, removable adhesive will make it easier for your customers to remove the label after the wax is spent.

    A final key point to remember is that candle labels are not made to be non-flammable, so they must be applied in a way that ensures they never risk coming into contact with the lit wick. Always keep them on the outer packaging, container/jar, or holder.

    At FastLabels, our adhesive and materials are rated to 80c for long-term use, and up to 95c for short periods. This is more than enough for warm jars and containers where the candle wax melts around 49-68c and typically leaves the outer surface even cooler than this.

    Remember CLP candle labels

    The Classification, Labelling and Packaging regulations (CLP) require suitable label information for items that contain potentially hazardous contents. Usually wax alone doesn’t require this, but fragrances and essential oils, popular in most candles, can mean that a CLP label is required.

    A candle CLP label would typically include:

    • A product identifier (i.e. the name)
    • Any allergen information if applicable
    • A list of potentially hazardous contents if applicable (typically these are ingredients in the fragrance or essential oil additions, but not always)
    • A word to indicate that it's a warning (i.e. "Warning")
    • Safety and hazard information
    • Hazard pictograms/logos if applicable
    • Supplier details.

    A candle safety label is also vital, which can be combined with the CLP label. Given that candles are flammable and can present a fire hazard, this information must cover how to use your products safety and include relevant warnings. 

    This includes, but is not limited to:

    • Using a heat resistant candle holder or bowl (if applicable)
    • Never leaving a burning candle unattended
    • Keeping it away from children and pets
    • Keeping it away from combustible items

    You'll be glad to know that all of this information doesn't need to be included right on the front of your candle! It can be on the back or underneath, where they are commonly found.

Enhancing home décor with your candles Candle Labels

Candles and wax melts aren’t just about creating a warm glow or a wonderful scent. They’re also increasingly part of a home’s interior design style, with the shapes, colours, textures and finishes being a key factor in putting a candle on display. 

This is why it’s crucial to create an aesthetically pleasing label to enhance the overall design, especially when plain glass jars are used where the only artistic elements come from the label itself.
The best method of label supply for candles Candle Labels Stickers

If you’re using a mechanical applicator, they will typically require rolls which we can set up specifically for your equipment. 

Otherwise you can choose from rolls or sheets if you’re applying to your candles by hand. But remember if the labels are quite large, then not many will fit on an A4 sheet, and this may result in a cumbersome amount of sheets to deal with.
What’s important to include on your labels? Candle Labels Printed

It’s important that you choose a design style - in tone, colour, layout and font – that matches your brand while synchronising across the different sizes and scents that you sell. 

A simple front label with a more information-rich back label is a good strategy. Alternatively you can make it longer to wrap around the candle jar or container. And don’t forget the CLP regulations mentioned above!
