Labels for candle makers: clear transparent stickers for the printed-on-glass look, white or kraft paper, or waterproof vinyl. Round, square, rectangle or cut to shape, from 2.5 cm to 30 cm. No set-up cost, and the price per label falls as you order more.

Which material for a candle?
- Clear (transparent) labels let the glass show around your artwork. They look best with dark or solid colours, because light colours show the wax behind them. See the dark glass example below.
- White paper labels give a solid, matt label. The most economical choice, and ideal for cream, kraft and botanical designs.
- Vinyl (waterproof) labels suit candles kept in bathrooms and kitchens, and jars that get wiped.
Ask us about heat if your label will sit near the flame, and test a sample on one candle first; you see a sample before the full run.
Labels that make a range look like a brand
Keep the same shape and size across every scent and change the colour, the drawing or the scent name. Customers spot the range from across a shelf, and reordering one scent never means redesigning anything.
Sizes
Measure the flat part of your glass, not the curve. A round label of 4 to 6 cm suits a standard tumbler, a wider rectangle suits a straight-sided jar, and a small round sticker works on a lid. Type any size into the designer to see it to scale.
What to put on a candle label
- Brand name and logo.
- Scent name.
- Any safety wording and information the law requires for candles, which is your responsibility as the maker. Check the current rules for your product; we print the artwork you supply.
