Candle warning labels and burning instruction inserts

Our Candle Warning Labels & Burning Instructions Services

Label, insert, proofing, printing, and finishing solutions for candle safety packaging programs.

Warning Labels

Custom roll and sheet labels for candle jars, tins, cartons, and retail packaging, produced with flexo, litho, or digital printing based on quantity, substrate, adhesive, and finish.

Instruction Sheets

Printed candle burning instructions, safety documentation, inserts, and folded guides designed to ship inside boxes, gift sets, retail cartons, or direct-to-consumer packaging.

Digital Printing

Digital printing supports short-run, seasonal, prototype, and variable-data candle label programs without the plate costs of traditional flexo or offset production.

Prepress Proofing

In-house prepress helps prepare press-ready files, manage color, verify layouts, and provide proofs so candle labels and inserts print accurately across reorders and SKU families.

Production Printing

Sheet-fed offset, offset web, and flexographic capabilities allow GMS to match each candle warning label or instruction project to the right press for quality and economics.

Bindery Finishing

Cutting, folding, collating, drilling, saddle-stitching, and shrink-wrap finishing help turn printed burning instructions and documentation into retail-ready or pack-out-ready components.
