Candle labels are used to introduce the flavour and the type of wax it is made out of. You may be already using a type of label; if it is handmade candles you may be using DIY sticker for labelling them. Although if you are taking candles beyond your personal use, a professional- looking label can give a classy finish to your scented goodies. Depending on the type of candle made and their use, there are different labels introduced for the various packaging elements. Here are the types of the candle and the suitable labels you could use for various purposes. Types of candles Candles are made for aromatherapy or candle made to withstand outdoor use come in different material, shapes and scents; ● Paraffin wax candles These candles are used for outdoor use,mostly.Paraffin is a derivative of petroleum oil products and can create small amounts of toxicity indoors.They come in various colours and scents.

These candles are the perfect match for vegan candle lovers. ● Beeswax candles Beeswax as the name indicates is derived from bee’s hives. This is also a natural candle, but some vegans avoid using it for its animal-based source.The most amazing effect of beeswax candles is purifying the air by neutralising opposite charges. Dust particles usually have negative charges; They move around while repelling each other, which creates more energy for their unconscious movements.This is the reason if a streak of sunlight or flashlight falls in a dark room, you can see the particle dance none stop and even in an increasing motion. Beeswax candle neutralises this negative charge and helps them settle on the floor (it will require some cleaning). Many candle experts are aware of beeswax candle properties and they avoid adding scent and colour to them.

This label enhances the appearance and supports the naturally conscious cause of their shopping. You can use labels with eco-friendly adhesive and unbleached paper material to convey the message across to them. ● Uniqueness Unique designs stand out and help to promote your candle production. It is important to have an artful approach towards your labelling and packaging to ensure your sales success.
