Wax Melt Packaging That Protects and Presents With Practicality

Fragile wax melts can be tricky to pack: too tight and they risk cracking, too loose and they rattle around causing damage. The right wax melt packaging strikes a balance – sturdy enough to keep individual cubes or tapers snug, but without adding weight that hikes up your postage. We’ve wax melt boxes in different for singles or small clusters, giving just enough room for a bit of recycled shred or tissue paper. Meanwhile, larger boxes measuring around are great if you’re sending gift sets with several melts or combining melts and small candles.

Getting Protection Without Extra Weight

Wax melts don’t need heavy packaging to stay safe in transit - in fact, too much bulk can cost you more. Boxes with built-in cardboard inserts, about 5mm thick, do wonders for protection. They hold the wax melts steady, stopping them from knocking against each other, especially if you’re shipping in glass containers or fragile moulds. Mind you, these inserts don’t add noticeable weight, so your parcels stay light – keeping postage more affordable than relying on heavy-duty double-wall boxes or excessive bubble wrap. We always recommend fitting inserts snugly rather than piling in loose fillers because movement inside the box is what usually causes breaks.

Sizes That Actually Save Money

Oversizing boxes just because it’s easier to pack leads to paying through the nose for postage. Taller boxes help avoid squashing melts which can deform or crack – especially wax melts in intricate shapes like snap bars. Also, watch out for going beyond standard parcel dimensions. For example, staying within 450mm in total length plus width is a practical way to avoid higher delivery charges in the UK. That said, if you’re including extras such as tissue paper, ribbon, or sample vials, bump the size just enough to accommodate these without cramming.

Eco-Friendly Choices That Don’t Compromise Quality

Customers expect sustainable options but not at the expense of product safety. Kraft wax melt packaging is strong and naturally recyclable, perfect if you want something that looks earthy but can handle heavier melts or multiple items inside gift sets. Our waxed cardboard boxes offer moisture resistance, which is crucial while shipping melts that contain fragrances with high oil content or during damp British weather. Avoid packing wax melts in thin, flimsy paper boxes even if they’re branded eco-friendly – these just don’t hold up well on transit. Instead, pair your boxes with recycled paper shred or eco-shred (cheaper and better than plastic bubble wrap) to fill voids and cushion your products sustainably.
