THE 4 TYPES OF CUSTOM CANDLE CONTAINER
Glass jar
The most popular container in white label, available in clear, matte white, matte black or glossy amber — from chic minimalist to high-end naturalist.
Screen printing, lacquering, gilding or silvering: it is easy to customize. Good diffusion of heat and light, and a recyclable material valued by B2B buyers committed to CSR (see theADEME recommendations on sustainable packaging).
Ceramic jar
Matte finish, a texture unique to the touch, durability: an exceptional container favored by hotels, spas and high-end cosmetics brands.
It allows custom shapes for a truly differentiating product. A larger investment, but a clearly higher perceived value.
Metal container
Steel, aluminum or tinplate: light and nearly unbreakable, ideal for travel ranges and online orders, with minimal risk of breakage during transport.
Brushed, glossy or matte lacquered, it can be customized by hot stamping, screen printing or a premium label. Popular with fashion brands and corporate gifts.
Concrete or wood
For brands with an artisanal, local or eco-responsible positioning. Each piece is slightly unique, which reinforces authenticity and feeds the storytelling.
Concrete offers a raw, urban finish; wood evokes nature and craftsmanship. Perfect for home decor, fine grocery and sustainable brands.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR CONTAINER
Customizing the container turns a generic custom candle container into a product in your image. Four techniques depending on the material and the desired finish.
Direct marking on glass or metal, ideal for logos and short text with a clean, lasting finish.
Application of an opaque color over the entire container, for a very design effect and customized shades.
A metallic touch for a luxury, premium finish, very on-trend in corporate gifting.
An irreversible technique that gives an exclusive dimension, particularly suited to ceramic and metal.
At MA CONCEPTION, all these techniques are available and can be combined. Our team supports you in choosing the technique best suited to your project and your budget.
