EcoBorn manufactures custom dust bags for candles — soft 100% natural cotton drawstring bags that protect jars and wax from dust and knocks, and turn a candle into a gift. We make them to order for candle makers, home-fragrance labels and boutiques across the USA, UK, Europe, Australia and the UAE, printed with your logo, from 100 pieces, and delivered duty-paid to your door.
Why candle brands use cotton dust bags
Candles have two vulnerable surfaces — the wax and the vessel — and a cotton bag protects both while doing the work of packaging.
- Keeps wax clean — an exposed wax surface attracts dust and lint on a shelf; a cotton bag keeps the top clean until it’s lit.
- Protects the vessel — a soft cotton layer cushions glass and ceramic jars, so labels don’t scuff and jars don’t knock together in a box.
- Gift-ready packaging — a drawstring bag needs no ribbon, no tissue and no wrapping: the candle arrives presented.
- Reusable, plastic-free — customers keep a cotton bag long after the candle is finished, which keeps your brand in the room.
Choosing the right size for your candles
Size by the vessel, not the fragrance — measure the jar’s height and diameter and allow a little room to slide it in and out (all sizes are width × height in inches; custom sizes are available on request):
- Votives, tea lights & travel tins — 4×5 inch.
- Standard single-wick jars — 5×7 inch.
- Larger jars & tumblers — 8×10 inch.
- Three-wick and oversized candles — 10×12 inch, or 12×14 inch for the largest vessels.
Packaging a candle plus a matching accessory — a wick trimmer, a snuffer, a matchbox? Size up one step so everything sits inside comfortably.
Two bags, one brand: pouch inside, branded tote outside
Candle brands and boutiques often use two cotton pieces together. The drawstring dust bag holds and protects the candle itself; a small branded cotton tote is the carry bag the customer leaves the shop with, or the outer for a gift set. Your logo on both makes the whole package feel intentional.
Which fabric weight for which candle
Lighter cotton drapes softly around small votives and travel tins, and keeps a gift set feeling delicate. Heavier glass jars and three-wick candles benefit from a fuller cotton weave, which holds its shape and takes the weight without straining the seams. Tell us the vessels you’re packaging and we’ll advise on the right weight before you order.
Material & construction
Our candle dust bags are made from 100% natural cotton, with a secure drawstring closure and stitched seams built to be reused. Cotton is breathable and holds no plastic, so the bag can stay with the candle in storage and on display.
Your branding, printed to spec
We print your logo by screen printing (best for clean 1–2 colour marks) or full-colour DTF for detailed or multi-colour artwork, with a free digital proof for your approval before we print. See custom branding for artwork guidance.
Minimum order, samples & pricing
The minimum order is 100 pieces per design, with per-unit pricing that steps down as quantities rise — see live tiered pricing on each product page, or request a bulk quote for larger runs. To check the cotton and the fit against your own jars first, order a free sample and pay only the shipping.
Delivered duty-paid, worldwide
Every order ships DDP (delivered duty paid): we handle export documentation, duties and customs clearance, and deliver to your door in the USA, UK, EU, Australia and the UAE, with nothing to pay on arrival. Shipping on products is free, so the price you see is the landed price.

Which countries do you ship to?
We ship worldwide, including the USA, UK, EU, Australia and the UAE, with every order delivered duty-paid (DDP) to your door.
Do you handle customs, duties and import paperwork?
Yes. All orders ship DDP, so we handle export documentation, duties and customs clearance — there is nothing to pay on delivery.
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Order a free sample and pay only the shipping, so you can check the cotton and test the fit against your own candle jars before committing to a bulk run.
What material are the candle bags made from?
They are made from 100% natural cotton — soft enough to cushion glass and ceramic vessels, breathable, and free of plastic, so customers reuse the bag after the candle is finished.
Which size bag should I choose for my candles?
Size by the vessel: votives and travel tins suit a 4×5 inch bag, standard single-wick jars a 5×7 inch, larger jars an 8×10 inch, and three-wick or oversized candles a 10×12 or 12×14 inch. Custom sizes are available.
Can the bag hold a candle and accessories together?
Yes — if you’re packaging a candle with a wick trimmer, snuffer or matchbox, choose one size larger than the vessel alone so everything sits inside comfortably.

Production typically takes 4–8 working days, followed by 10–14 days for door-to-door DDP delivery, depending on quantity and destination. We confirm exact timelines with your quote.
