What paper stocks can I choose for candle labels?

Candle labels can be printed on several stocks, and each one handles heat, wax, and adhesive differently. Because candles give off warmth and can leave oily residue, durability matters more here than on a typical dry-shelf label.

• Glossy paper: bright color for a polished retail look.
• Matte paper: soft, low-glare finish for minimalist branding.
• Kraft: natural texture for artisan and rustic lines.
• Textured linen: a refined, tactile premium feel.
• Waterproof BOPP: resists moisture and wax oils, a popular choice for candles.

BOPP film is the go-to for candle jars because it stands up to the heat and oils that would break down a plain paper label.
