Shipping candles safely has always been a challenge. Glass jars are fragile, heavy and vulnerable to impact during transit, and standard packaging solutions often struggle to provide the level of protection required. The result? Breakages, costly replacements, frustrated customers and unnecessary waste across the supply chain.
To address these challenges, we’re introducing Cullen’s new moulded fibre candle packaging range – a fully plastic-free solution engineered specifically to protect glass candles throughout packing, storage and distribution.
Designed with real-world logistics in mind, the range provides dependable protection while supporting businesses looking to transition away from plastic packaging. By combining durable fibre structures with efficient formats for packing and distribution, the new range helps brands protect products, streamline operations and reduce environmental impact.
Designed for Real-World Distribution
Candle packaging needs to perform across multiple stages of the supply chain – from packing lines to pallet storage, courier networks and retail presentation. Our moulded fibre designs have been developed to deliver reliable protection at every stage.
The robust fibre structure absorbs impact and cushions glass jars during handling and transit, reducing the risk of cracks or breakages. Secure cavities hold candles firmly in place, preventing movement and helping maintain product presentation.
At the same time, the packaging has been designed to integrate seamlessly into existing packing operations. Stackable formats improve packing efficiency, while lightweight fibre materials help reduce shipping weight and overall logistics costs.
The result is packaging that works as hard as your products do.
A Format for Every Candle
The new range includes multiple formats to support different candle sizes, pack configurations and distribution needs. Each insert is designed to work seamlessly with our corrugated transit outers, creating a complete plastic-free packaging solution that protects fragile candle jars throughout shipping, storage and retail distribution.
Single Candle Clamshell
Designed to cradle individual glass candle jars, the clamshell format offers secure protection and strong impact resistance. It’s ideal for direct-to-consumer deliveries, premium gifting formats and eCommerce shipments where product safety is critical.
Four-Cavity Candle Tray
This tray securely holds four candles in place, allowing stable stacking and efficient palletisation. The consistent cavity design helps improve packing speed while maintaining a clean and professional retail presentation.
Six-Cavity Candle Tray
Built for higher-volume distribution, the six-cavity tray supports efficient case packing and improved storage density. By maximising space while maintaining protective cushioning, it helps reduce transit risk and logistics costs.
Large Multi-Wick Candle Tray
For larger candles with multiple wicks, this format offers reinforced structural support without the need for plastic inserts. The design provides dependable protection for heavier jars while maintaining the benefits of a fully paper-based solution.
Corrugated Transit Outer
Designed to work alongside our moulded fibre inserts, the corrugated outer provides secure transit protection for fragile candles. The structure helps absorb impacts during handling and shipping while keeping products stable within the pack. Together, the fibre insert and corrugated outer create a fully paper-based, plastic-free packaging solution suitable for eCommerce, retail distribution and export shipping.
Plastic-Free by Design
All formats in the range are produced from 100% plastic-free moulded fibre made from recycled paper. The packaging is fully recyclable, biodegradable and compostable, helping brands move towards more sustainable packaging systems.
By replacing plastic alternatives such as polystyrene foam or plastic inserts, moulded fibre packaging supports circular packaging goals while maintaining the durability needed for real-world distribution.
This makes it easier for brands to align packaging choices with sustainability commitments without compromising on product protection.
Supporting Your Supply Chain
Beyond product protection, the candle packaging range has been developed to strengthen operational performance across the supply chain.
- Built for Transit: Engineered to withstand impact, stacking pressure, vibration and long-distance shipping.
- Operational Efficiency: Stackable, easy-to-handle formats help speed up packing and dispatch.
- Reduced Wastage: Fewer breakages mean fewer returns, replacements and delays.
- Dependable Supply: UK manufacturing helps maintain reliable stock availability when demand increases.
By combining protection, efficiency and sustainability, the range provides a practical solution for brands looking to improve packaging performance while meeting modern packaging expectations.
Packaging That Protects What Matters
Candles are products customers expect to arrive in perfect condition. When breakages happen, it doesn’t just impact costs – it also affects customer experience and brand reputation.
Our moulded fibre candle packaging range has been designed to solve this challenge. It delivers secure protection, plastic-free materials and reliable supply, helping businesses ship candles with confidence.
Whether you’re distributing candles through retail, wholesale or eCommerce channels, the range provides the protection and performance needed to keep products safe from packing line to final delivery.
Because great products deserve packaging that won’t let them down.
