Candle labels for jars, tins and gift boxes
Candle labels carry the scent name, the brand and the practical text customers need. They live on warm glass and in gift boxes, so they should look good, stick well and keep the jar clean.
- Best for: Glass jars, tins, boxes, bottom-of-jar labels
- Recommended stock: Matte white, clear, or foil accents

Candle label notes
Warm glass
Labels sit on a jar that gets warm in use. Place them away from the flame and heat; we recommend a test burn to check adhesion and look on your own jar.
Scent names and colour
Use a colour accent per scent on a consistent template for an easy-to-read range.
Bottom and warning labels
A smaller second label (bottom or back) with warning text keeps the front clean.
Premium cues
Foil or raised UV on the brand mark works well for gift candles.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Matte finish on white stock for the classic look, clear stock with white print for a modern glass jar, gold foil for gift sets. Waterproof film resists wax drips and wipe-downs.

Questions about candle labels
Will labels peel from warm jars?
Test on your own jars with a real burn, since results depend on glass, label placement and burn time.
Is a clear label good for candles?
Yes, on glass where you want the wax to show; consider white print.
Can I use the same design for several scents?
Make one design per scent with the same layout and a changing colour.
Do you print warning labels?
We print any artwork you supply, including warning labels.
