FAQ

Q: How does the double-wall construction compare to single-wall for candle shipping? A: Double-wall BC-flute provides approximately 2.5× the crush resistance of single-wall B-flute, making it ideal for heavy glass jar candles. BC-flute combines a B-flute layer (for flat crush and print surface) with a C-flute layer (for stacking strength and impact absorption). In ISTA 3A drop tests, our double-wall candle mailers consistently pass 6-face drops from 30 inches (76 cm) with zero breakage when used with the foam insert.

Q: Can the foam insert be made from sustainable materials instead of PE foam? A: Yes. We offer molded pulp (recycled paper fiber) inserts as a plastic-free alternative, certified compostable and recyclable. Molded pulp provides comparable cushioning to PE foam for lighter candles (under 500g) but has slightly lower shock absorption for very heavy jars. We also offer corrugated die-cut dividers for a fully paper-based, 100% recyclable solution.

Q: What certifications are available for the corrugated board? A: Our corrugated board is FSC Chain-of-Custody certified, meaning the fiber can be traced from certified forest to finished box. We provide FSC certificate numbers on invoices. Additionally, the board meets ISPM-15 requirements for international shipping (heat-treated, no solid wood packaging). FDA-compliant liners are available for food and beverage products.

Q: Can the tear-strip be placed on multiple sides for different opening styles? A: Yes. Standard configuration is a single perimeter tear strip around the middle. We offer dual tear strips (one to open, one to convert to a display tray), corner-initiated tear strips for angled opening, and full-length tear strips that convert the box into a flat display. All tear strip configurations are tested for ease of use by consumers.
