Candle packaging – when the packaging should be as beautiful as the product
Candles are visual products. Color, shape, texture—the product sells itself through its appearance. The packaging film must not detract from this. It should protect the product while also highlighting its visual appeal.
Schlichter supplies films candles, tea lights, and candle sets—high-gloss, transparent, and wrinkle-free. The product arrives at the customer just as it left the factory.

For every application
What candle packaging must be able to do
Packaging candles is a challenging task. Round, oval, or irregular shapes, delicate surfaces, and high-quality standards—the film must perform flawlessly in every respect.
Appearance & Presentation
- High gloss and transparency: Polyolefin fine-shrink films offer crystal-clear transparency and a high gloss—the candle looks just as it should on the shelf.
- Wrinkle-free packaging: Thanks to uniform shrinkage in all directions, the film fits smoothly around cylindrical, conical, and irregularly shaped candles. No wrinkles, no air pockets.
- Printability: Brand logos, product information, or decorative prints can be applied directly to the film—for sophisticated product presentations.
Protection & Durability
- Scratch-resistant: The candle's surface remains intact—from production to the customer.
- Dust protection: Candles attract dust. The film keeps it out and keeps the product ready for sale.
- Color protection: For colored candles, the film prevents color transfer onto adjacent products on the shelf or in the box.
