Then simply use the isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and your lint-free cloth to thoroughly clean and dry the surface of your candle jars or tins. This will help form a strong bond between the label adhesive and your container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using clear labels, cleaning your candle container helps prevent blemishes or marks from showing through your labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before applying your candle labels, brace your container between two objects for a more controlled application. You can use something as simple as two blocks of wood as pictured above.&nbsp;Some candle makers have found that empty egg cartons work well to stabilize jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also see a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MIonrjjk8ow?t=200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great homemade jig<\/a> made by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frostbeardstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frostbeard Studio<\/a>, a CandleScience customer, just using a cardboard box. The main objective is to make sure your candle jar or tin is completely still when you begin applying your label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure that your candles are completely cooled and at room temperature (approximately 70 degrees) before applying your labels. Again, this will ensure that the adhesive adheres properly to your candle jar or tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-align-your-candle-label\">Align your candle label<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwODAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"Position your label before applying\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\" data-public-id=\"Align-Label\/Align-Label.png\" class=\"wp-post-1568 wp-image-2512\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1753476340\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"1080 1080\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, be aware of the positioning of your label on your candle jar or tin in relation to the top or lid. Take into consideration what it will look like when the lid is on and off. You want to make sure the candle label looks good in both situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re applying the label to a glass jar look for a vertical seam or horizontal edge to help alignment. When applying to flat surfaces, like a square tin or outer box, look for a straight edge and align the corner of the label with that edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apply-your-candle-label\">Apply your candle label<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with clean hands. Carefully peel the label from the liner and hold the label by the outer edges to avoid contaminating the adhesive.&nbsp; If applying clear labels by hand, it&#8217;s recommended to use lint-free gloves. The smallest mark or fingerprint on a clear label can make for an unsightly product label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When applying your candle label to a round jar or tin, start by applying pressure at the center of the label and move outward to prevent creases.&nbsp;If you&#8217;re applying your label to a flat surface like a lid or box, start with an edge and roll the remainder of the label onto the surface to avoid wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the label is flat, press firmly from the center to edge for curved surfaces or from edge to edge for flat surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remove-wrinkles-amp-bubbles\">Remove wrinkles &amp; bubbles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDgwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwODAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"Use a pin to prick and remove bubbles on a candle label\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\" data-public-id=\"Pin-prick\/Pin-prick.png\" class=\"wp-post-1568 wp-image-2516\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1753476326\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"1080 1080\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a hard flexible tool like a credit card, or even your hands (if you&#8217;re wearing gloves) gently but firmly push wrinkles and bubbles to the edge of the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Label adhesives need approximately 24-48 hours to cure and adhere completely after application. So it&#8217;s very important to keep your candles at room temperature to prevent lifting or bubbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If any bubbles do appear and you can&#8217;t remove them with your flat tool, you can try using a small stickpin.&nbsp; Just poke a tiny hole in the bubble and push it to the edge of the label.
