How To Package Your Candles So They Don’t BREAK In Transit: My Tips *Eco Friendly Alternatives*

[@moninadelacruz6928]

Hi Erica, you're such a blessing to a lot of people. I've been watching your videos one after another and you inspire me to start my own candle business. Thank you! :")

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I love that 🥲 thank you for watching!

[@aradhyaagarwal7970]

I just started my business, a friend gave me my first order. Then I realized I did nothing for the packaging and presentation 😑. It's like you know what exactly your viewers want and you give it to them.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

It takes some time to learn and grow with your packaging and presentation. My first orders were not pretty at all!

[@rupalkankarwal8rupal519]

Hii aradhya where r u from..??

[@jtmaffiliates5492]

Lol I got excited about the business that I had slow down and start at packaging

[@Izybuzy]

I sent 300 to 400 grams scrub in glass jar without plastic at all by wrap it with 3 sheets of corrugated paper, tied it with hemp rope, and put it in the box, filled by shredded reuse brown packing papers. Never have any single complain about it since January 2020. I found about it because most of ceramic glass and plates that sold in furniture store like Ikea and ACE use the same method.

[@reginawallace2687]

Erica, you are very generous. God bless you richly 🥰

[@savanna.shares]

Love your videos! I use the honeycomb as well and learned that in need to wrap it taught in order to keep it “bubbly”. There’s also a certain direction to wrap it, otherwise it’ll fall flat like it started with. Hope this helps!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! 🤍

[@crystallemos4025]

Thank you for your videos, you really helped me get on my feet and help me learn more. Planning on opening in spring

[@MaggieMagnoli]

love honeycomb paper. Better for the earth and fits my brand aesthetic a little bit better. I ship a lot of fragile items and I haven't had any complaints yet.

[@lilys.8022]

Very helpful! I was very weary about the whole shipping process/packaging the candles and your video has eased my worries. Thank you so much for being so transparent with all your methods. Love and light to you🌞!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

So happy it helped! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@gabriellas5924]

Thank you for sharing, Erica. Do you always use flat rate?

[@kamelyae.a.2556]

Hi Erica ! What would be the sizes with your experience for a 12 oz candles for the box sizes ? And can you explain how do you ship with the adresses of the clients ? Do you go to the p office with all your box and the adresses ? Thanks ❤

[@cbpapp]

Unfortunately your brand of honeycomb paper was out of stock. ☹️ I watched another chandler use this paper as well. Thank you for helping me get where I want to go! Your vids are priceless but so incredibly helpful! Thank you, Mama!❤

[@zubaidazang8445]

Would definitely try the honeycomb paper!

[@ametere1]

Hi where do you buy your shipping supply I'm having a hard time finding a good supplier

[@treninajohnson3304]

I appreciate this video! Do you mind sharing which wick you use for your larger container?

[@Warefamily2024]

Do you have a link for the upgraded box you now have?

[@dannac_8888]

Great video! Your link to the honeycomb paper goes to the link and it says it's currently unavailable. You may want to create a new link.

[@m.b.g.spinartfamily5681]

I’m not sure if you did a video like this or if this will make sense. Haha but can you do a video on how to get your business name legal like should we make a $30/month Shopify to lock in our name or how to go about that?

[@Craftyminion_candleNthings]

I really appreciate your video it's been really helpful. Thanks

[@GokaBean]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@CamettScents]

Very nice jars on the box. we camett also can oem your logo on the box logo here.

[@giannabastone]

I absolutely love your videos, they are so helpful! I was wondering if you include the price of your packaging in the price of your candle?

[@stellaselvam4340]

Hello sister i want to make scented candles.could you please tell me how much amount of fragrance should i add for 100 grams of wax

[@madimacneil6971]

Erica! Your videos have been so helpful for me when starting my small business! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us! :)

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I’m so glad!! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@SOULANDHEARTCO]

Thank you Erica, this video was very informative and useful ♥️✨🌸

[@alexandra53465]

Thank you for all your videos! They have helped me plan how to open up my own business in a few months. In regards to one of your videos of the room spray, the formula that you shared, what would the fragrance load be using that formula? Thank you for all your help and I'm excited to see your channel grow 😭

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I’m so glad! And that formula is for 5% FO (it’s a formula I found from another maker on YT!)

[@sara_s_]

Your videos are so helpful, thank you. Do you recommend etsy or shopify? Do Etsy sales transition over easily?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I recommend both! Etsy is super easy to start on, but Shopify is fantastic to be able to have more freedom/options! 🤍

[@halfbakedcafe]

Love the details on supplies and all the ideas. One question I had was how do you prepare for multiple orders? Do you keep just certain size boxes on hand? Do you ever try to get boxes when orders come in just to accommodate?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yes I just keep certain sizes on hand! Mainly 6x6x4, 8x6x4, regional rate a boxes and medium flats rate boxes. And then I just determine which box is going to be the cheapest for that order!

[@theekiara9263]

What size are the cloth bags that you have in the video and what size is that jar?

[@elisewisehart]

Love your videos, super informative! I've been looking into the drawstring bags, where did you get yours? Thanks in advance!

[@carengolub8451]

I really liked those drawstring bags too! Please let us know :)

Have you tried the boxes from Flush Packaging? I’m super curious about those! I have some samples on the way.

[@elizabethleslie3039]

First.. Love your videos.. Very informative

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you for watching 🤍

[@carengolub8451]

Hi Erica! You do excellent learning videos that provide so much information that...well basically...did not think of :) Also, I think that you have a number of viewers, one being me, that would like to know where to find the drawstring bags :)

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

So sorry! They are from Uline! www.uline.com/BL_202/Cloth-Parts-Bags?keywords=parts+bags

So informative, thank you so much. 💕🤗

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

[@tanishab86tb]

Do you put anything extra in the package to prevent the candle from melting?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You can! I’ve used this cool shield bubble wrap many times! www.uline.com/BL_2171/Cool-Shield-Bubble-Rolls-and-Pallet-Covers?keywords=Cool+Shield

[@tanishab86tb]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo Thank you!!!!

[@laurieallen2491]

Thanks for another wonderfully helpful video, Erica. 😍 Do you still use the thermal bubble wrap for hot weather shipping? I don't understand why more folks don't talk about this. In some areas of the country, it's warm all year round, while in most other areas, there's the potential for hot temperatures at least 1/3 to 1/2 the year. I've encountered a lot of makers in FB groups who just shut their business down during the warm months... I want to make a living doing this, so I can't imagine how that's sustainable!

[@Leadinglady1982]

Thku

[@bonjovi743]

Hi just wanted to know since I am always confused the bubble pop has to be inside of the rolling the candle or outside

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I usually put it on the inside touching the candle :)

[@bonjovi743]

Thank you dear

[@PowerToolsofJustice]

Hi, what size flate rate envelope did you use?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

They are the usps priority padded flat rate envelopes! You can order them for free from usps.com

[@skiidzman]

Completely random, but I've watched a few of your vids, you checked out Amazon Handmade yet? No UPC's required, 15% fee per item sold, but pretty sure that includes shipping etc. Could be wrong, always some fine print somewhere lol

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I have not but maybe I’ll look into it in the future!

[@judith460]

But dosent it weigh alot ?

[@aradhyaagarwal7970]

Waiting for the international shipping video🤍
