Tips for sending candles in the post

Start with a cardboard box, the ones from Lil Packaging are not only eco-friendly but also come in plenty of shapes and sizes. Such as their pizza style boxes, which can be easily fit together and fit almost any candle inside.

Once you’ve found the perfect box, you can add tissue paper or another form of paper to create some padding inside of the box, although a lot of the options from Lil Packaging, don’t require any additional padding as they are snug and ready to go.

Before you seal your box, add a personal touch, by adding this it allows your customer to find out more about who you are. By providing this touch, whether it’s a voucher code, a thank you note or a free sample your customer will appreciate this.

Finally, once your candle is ready to go, it’s time to find the best postal company to use. There are a number of sites you can use to compare postage costs based on the weight of the parcel, along with size.
