Home & Fragrance At Rawlings: Candle Jars And Diffusers

Why does packaging matter?

The packaging and design of candle jars and diffusers create more than just decorative pieces; packaging choices can signal to customers not only the aesthetics, but the overall positioning of your brand.

Whether you are looking for bespoke glass packaging for a new product release or designing a home and fragrance line which can stand out on shelves, choosing the correct style for your brand can be key.

There are several factors to consider when choosing the correct packaging for your candle or fragrance:

Sustainability

Today, efforts to remain eco-conscious are expected by customers and often influence buyer decisions. The impact of sustainable packaging choices for your brand can be significant.

Glass is recyclable and therefore helps to reduce waste. Glass is also durable and often chosen by home and fragrance brands for its reliability in adding a premium finish, whilst offering practical value.

Colour

Clear glass can be visually appealing yet minimalistic so your product can shine. This colour glass can pair well with spring or summer scents by allowing light to pour in and creating a natural brightness. Keeping things simple also supports this clean and fresh seasonal aesthetic.

Frosted glass can provide an effortless luxury look. It is also very versatile as it can blend into a range of settings. This style can signify high-end quality and complement your candle's soft glow.

Amber glass provides UV protection if your candle or fragrance contains ingredients which are light sensitive. Choosing this colour glass can extend the shelf life and protect the quality of your product. Darker coloured glass can work well for creating a cosy atmosphere, which could be more suited to autumn and winter months. Darker glass can complement your product’s scent and be styled for a luxurious appeal.

You can also choose the finish of your glass. For example, a matte or gloss finish, which can both portray significant aesthetics. Matte can offer a premium, subtle look, whereas gloss can draw attention by creating a shine which elevates your product.

Changing the colour of your glass can allow your brand to represent different seasonal scents, without completely redesigning your product.

Sizing & Shape

Sizing and shape also play an important role.

Small candle jars, diffusers and fragrance bottles can work well for gifting or sample sizes. They can also pair well with exclusive product ranges, as the compact size can signal that your candle may have a concentrated, carefully considered scent which is worth savouring. Small-sized diffusers can pair well with a range of candle sizes, and can fit into different home and decor settings.

Medium candle jars, diffusers and fragrance bottles work well for popular or regular product ranges. They are large enough to allow for branding variations such as label size and design, and small enough to offer a middle ground which entices customers to buy them for everyday use.

Large candle jars, diffusers and fragrance bottles can suit seasonal releases as they hold candles with a longer burn time and scent longevity. They can make for statement décor pieces.

Cylindrical or rounded bottles are commonly used for diffusers and fragrances. They add a practical and timeless aesthetic and work well for home and décor fragrance brands.

Cubic bottles can ensure optimal diffusion and combine functionality with a luxury look.

Square bottles are distinctive, practical and modern, helping your brand to stand out. They can allow for larger volumes and space for distinctive branding.
