Candles & Candle Holders

Glass candle holders and candles themselves can transform with digital decoration using cylindrical inkjet printers, particularly suited for straight-walled vessels. The trend of personalizing candle holders has surged in popularity for occasions like weddings, holiday gift exchanges, and beyond. Enhancing your candle brand with high-quality, full-color prints directly on the vessel, as opposed to conventional printed labels, elevates your product, and distinguishes it from competitors. Cylindrical inkjet printers are the best glass candle printer option available, surpassing the quality of traditional paper labels, screen printed designs, or heat transfer images.
