Packaging Insert Ideas for Custom Incense Boxes

Your incense box packaging doesn't stop at the outer layer. What's inside the box can leave a lasting impression—and turn one-time customers into loyal fans.

Packaging inserts are affordable, customizable, and impactful tools to elevate your incense brand experience.

Here are 7 smart insert ideas you can include in your custom incense packaging.

Thank You Cards with Affirmations

Include a small card that says more than "Thanks for your order." Add a:

  • Handwritten-style note

  • Short affirmation (e.g., "You are grounded and at peace.”)

  • Ritual suggestion to use with the incense

This fosters emotional resonance, particularly among spiritual and wellness buyers.

Scent Guide or Incense Use Instructions

Not all customers are familiar with the various types of incense. Add a foldable card with:

  • Instructions for burning a stick, cone, or resin incense

  • Safety tips

  • Scent-specific usage (e.g., lavender for bedtime, frankincense for meditation)

Bonus: Print it on seed paper for sustainability.

Brand Story or Spiritual Mission Statement

Make your values visible. Include a 3x5 insert that shares:

  • How is your incense made

  • Your commitment to sustainability

  • The spiritual inspiration behind your blends

This is ideal for building a connection with conscious customers.

Coupon Code for Next Purchase

Encourage repeat buyers with a discount or free shipping offer:

"Get 15% off your next order with code: PEACE15"

Include a QR code to make it mobile-friendly. This drives conversions directly from packaging.

Sample of Another Scent

If your customer bought sandalwood, include a stick of lavender or rose. This gives:

  • A chance to cross-sell

  • An opportunity for customers to discover new favorites

  • Added value without a significant cost

 Tip: Wrap it in compostable glassine or kraft paper for a more eco-friendly option.

Mini Guide to Meditation or Rituals

Add a folded pamphlet with:

  • A 5-minute incense meditation

  • A moon ritual

  • Chakra alignment using specific scents

This positions your brand as not just a product seller, but a wellness guide.

Branded Stickers or Bookmark

Surprise and delight your buyers with a sticker or bookmark featuring:

  • Your logo

  • A calming quote

  • Nature-inspired illustrations

These small freebies increase brand recall and are often shared on social media.
