Built for how candle businesses actually work

Candle businesses move through distinct stages: launching new scents, building out collections, selling across multiple channels, and preparing for markets or retail. Consistent branding across every stage is what makes a business look established. Kittl is a design platform for candle makers that covers labels, packaging, mockups, and marketing assets in one place.

You are launching a new scent

Create the label, jar mockup, scent card, and launch graphic before your product goes live.

You are building a collection

Keep fonts, colors, packaging, and scent families consistent across every candle and seasonal drop.

You are selling online

Design Etsy images, Shopify visuals, market signage, thank-you cards, and print-ready packaging.

Find the candle label size

A candle label's size depends on the jar. A 4oz jar takes about a 2.5" x 1.5" label, an 8oz jar takes 3" x 2", and a 12oz tumbler takes 3.5" x 2.25". Pick your vessel to see the exact dimensions, bleed, and print profile.

Create a full seasonal candle collection from one design

A seasonal candle collection needs matching labels, mockups, packaging, and launch assets for every scent. With Kittl Flows, you build one base design and apply it across every variant, ready for Etsy, Shopify, markets, and seasonal drops.

Kittl Flows keeps the full collection consistent without rebuilding from scratch for each scent.

  • Start with one label direction. Build your base look with your logo, scent name, fonts, colors, and candle style.
  • Adapt it across every scent using Kittl Flow. Create matching labels, packaging, and mockups for each fragrance in the collection.
  • Launch the full collection faster. Turn the same style into social posts, Etsy images, Shopify visuals, and market signage.

From first batch to retail-ready candle brand

Candle businesses need different design assets at each selling stage: Etsy launch, market setup, boutique outreach, and wholesale pitching. Kittl covers each stage, from listing mockups and market signage to the brand materials boutiques and wholesalers expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Bleed is a design element that extends your artwork or background colors beyond the final trimmed edge of your product. It serves as a safety margin, ensuring you get clean, borderless edges without any unwanted white strips if the paper shifts slightly during cutting. Kittl includes bleed settings for all candle label sizes, preset by jar size so you don't have to calculate them manually.
