At Odin Printing, we make beautiful candle boxes—but we can do things a little differently to help you. Instead of printing separate boxes for every single fragrance, we also offer a smarter, more flexible approach: one carefully crafted box design, paired with individual fragrance name labels.
It’s a simple shift, but it makes a big impact— for you our customers, and even for the planet.
The Traditional Way: A Different Box for Every Fragrance
In the world of candles, it’s common to see brands create unique printed boxes for every scent—Lavender Woods, Citrus Bloom, Fireside Vanilla, and so on. Visually, this can look great, but behind the scenes, it presents real challenges:
High costs for designing and printing each variation
Large minimum order quantities that don’t suit small batches
Overproduction leading to wasted materials and money
Storage issues when managing many box versions
Slow turnaround times when introducing new scents
For a small or growing candle business, this model just isn’t sustainable.
Our Solution: One Timeless Box, Custom Labels for Every Fragrance
Instead of designing dozens of different printed boxes, I suggest invest in a single, beautifully branded candle box—crafted to reflect the heart of your aesthetic and values.
Then, you apply individual fragrance name labels at the final packaging stage. These labels are high-quality, thoughtfully designed, and color-matched to finish off each candle box. Design your labels and the box so they look like they are one and not an afterthought. The result? A refined, consistent look that still highlights each unique scent. This can be done though text, colour and image.
Why This Works—Benefits of the Label Approach
✅ Cost-Effective
Printing one box design in larger quantities keeps costs down. Labels are inexpensive to produce and can be updated anytime.
✅ Flexible & Scalable
Launch a new seasonal fragrance? No problem—just create a new label. No need to wait weeks for custom box production.
✅ Eco-Friendly
This approach helps us reduce waste and avoid unused packaging sitting in storage (or worse—landfills).
✅ Better Inventory Management
Simpler packaging means fewer packaging items to track, store, and re-order. That’s a huge advantage for small businesses.
✅ Stronger Brand Identity
A unified box design creates a polished, consistent customer experience. Fragrance names become accents—not distractions—from your overall brand feel.
Seeing It in Action: A Visual Example
Imagine this:
A shelf of beautifully stacked candle boxes—identical in size and branding, creating a clean and uniform look.
Each box bears a distinct fragrance label: Rosemary Mint, Wild Fig, Amber Smoke—each one bringing its own personality, without disrupting the aesthetic.
You’ll see this same style in boutiques, markets, or online—one box, many scents, all cohesive.
Why It Matters
Whether you're a starting out looking for looking for inspiration, or a customer who cares about sustainability and thoughtful design, I believe this approach balances beauty with practicality and economy.
I have found that the simpler solution is often the smarter one—and in this case, it lets you focus on what matters: crafting amazing candles, reducing waste, and keeping things beautifully uncomplicated.
