A 37mm circle is a useful starting point for the CLP / safety label. Order it printed through our Personalised Labels product.
20cl / 200ml
Recommended Labels for Medium Candle Jars
A 20cl jar is one of the most common candle formats. These sizes give you good options for square, round and rectangular front branding without trying to mimic competitor dimensions.
Our recommendation
For a rectangle, start with 63.5 × 38.1mm rather than forcing a 70 × 40mm-style size.
20cl
SQUARE FRONT LABEL
65 × 65mm Square
A strong front-label size for medium jars and premium candle branding.

30cl / 300ml

Check the curve
Larger labels need a suitably flat surface. Test with a paper cut-out first.

LARGE FRONT LABEL
99.1 × 67.7mm
A large front label for bold retail branding and bigger candle containers.

MEASURE BEFORE YOU ORDER
How to Measure a Candle Jar for a Label
The most reliable way to choose a candle label is to measure the exact area where the label will sit. Curved shoulders, tapered glass and rounded bases can reduce the usable space.
1
Measure the flat width
Measure horizontally across the usable flat face of the jar.
2
Measure the flat height
Measure vertically between the point where the jar starts to curve at the top and bottom.
3
Leave some breathing room
A label slightly smaller than the available area usually looks cleaner and is easier to apply.
Simple test:
Cut a piece of plain paper to the proposed label dimensions and hold it against your candle jar.
You’ll see immediately whether the proportions look right.
WHERE WILL THE LABEL GO?
Choose Candle Labels by Position
Many candle makers use more than one label. Separating branding, safety information and scent identification often produces a cleaner finished product.
Back / Information Labels
Smaller rectangles work well for supporting information without overcrowding the front.
Lid Labels
Round labels are a simple way to add branding or identify fragrances on candle lids and tins.
Large / Premium Labels
For larger candle jars, use a bigger front label or a more distinctive shape.

CANDLE LABEL SIZE FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What size label should I use for a 10cl or 100ml candle jar?
Useful Go2Products starting points include a 45mm round label and a
45.7 × 25.5mm rectangle. A 37mm circle can also work well for smaller lids or secondary branding.
Always measure the actual flat application area before ordering.
What size label should I use for a 20cl or 200ml candle jar?
Popular starting points from our stock range include 65 × 65mm square,
64mm round and 63.5 × 38.1mm rectangular labels. A 51mm circle is also useful for many lids or bases.
What size label should I use for a 30cl or 300ml candle jar?
Larger jars can often accommodate sizes such as 99.1 × 57.3mm,
99.1 × 67.7mm or 63.5 × 72mm. A 92 × 76mm oval is another option where the available flat area suits it.
What size label is best for a candle lid?
Measure the flat diameter of the lid first. Common Go2Products starting points include
51mm, 45mm and 37mm circles.
Should a candle label fill the whole front of the jar?
Usually not. Leaving some visible space around the label often makes the packaging feel cleaner
and more premium. The best proportion depends on your jar shape, artwork and brand style.
What size CLP label should I use for a candle?
As a practical starting point, we recommend a 37mm circle for many 10cl / 100ml candles
and a 64mm circle for many 20cl / 200ml and 30cl / 300ml candles.
The correct size still depends on the usable area of your own container.

Can I use more than one label on a candle?

Yes. If none of our stocked sizes suits your candle jar, we can discuss a made-to-order label size.
