Custom Wax Melt Boxes

Wax melts are small, soft and scented, which makes them a heat problem, a fragrance problem and a fragile-shape problem in one very small pack.

You already know what you are packaging, so there is nothing to set up. This opens the design engine with the straight tuck end structures on screen — then you type your own dimensions and the dieline is generated at that exact size.

The structures wax melt boxes actually ship in

Every one of these is a construction TWOFORM generates a real production dieline for, at your own dimensions — not a template you have to fit your product into. Each opens the engine already on that package type.

Straight Tuck EndA snug carton around a clamshell or a moulded tray, with a front panel that carries the scent name at a size that reads on a shelf.Typical: 6-cube pack · 4 × 1.25 × 4inDesign a straight tuck endSee the dieline →
Box & SleeveA printed band around a moulded tray, which shows the wax and its colour while carrying the brand and the scent name.Typical: Tray sleeve · 4.5 × 1 × 3.5inDesign a box & sleeveSee the dieline →
Flat Pouch / 3-Side SealSealed sachets for single-scent samples and refills, which hold the fragrance far better than any carton and lie flat in a mailer.Typical: Sample · 3 × 4inDesign a flat pouch / 3-side sealSee the dieline →

Settle this before you design

Warmth is the enemy of the shape and the scent

Soy and blended waxes soften well below the temperature of a warehouse in summer or a van in the afternoon. A pack that lets the cubes touch and fuse is one that arrives as a single lump. Use a tray or a divided cavity, and accept that a sealed pack holds fragrance far better than an open one.

The mistake that costs a print run

Printing the scent name where the sleeve covers it

Melts are bought by scent, and if the name only appears on a panel hidden by a tray, a sleeve or a stack on a shelf, the pack cannot do its job. Decide how the pack will actually be merchandised — face out, stacked, or in a basket — and put the scent name on the face that will be seen in that arrangement.

How you actually make it

  1. Open the structure above and type your real dimensions. The dieline is generated at that exact size and validated against real manufacturing limits as it draws — if a size cannot be folded, glued and shipped, it says so before you design anything on it.
  2. Describe your brand and the AI designs the artwork directly onto that dieline — not onto a picture of a package.
  3. Place your own logo, barcode and any required panel yourself. The AI leaves them exactly as placed unless you ask it to change them.
  4. Fold it in live 3D to check it, then download print-ready files to use with any printer — or have TWOFORM manufacture it.

Questions about custom wax melt boxes

What size box holds six wax melt cubes?

A standard clamshell of six lands near 4 × 1.25 × 4in inside a carton. Size the carton to the tray or clamshell, not to the wax.

Do wax melts need a sealed pack?

For fragrance retention, a sealed sachet clearly outperforms an open carton. Many brands use a sealed inner and a printed outer for exactly that reason.

Why do my melts arrive fused together?

Warmth in transit plus cubes touching. A divided tray or a cavity per cube keeps them separate through the soft phase and lets them set apart again.
