Abstract: A packaging system for a votive candle comprising a votive candle mold and sealing lid. The votive candle mold has a closed bottom and a generally cylindrical sidewall integrally connected to the bottom and extending upward therefrom. An annular rim extends radially outwardly from a top portion of the sidewall of the mold and runs along the entire perimeter of the sidewall of the mold. The lid has a closed top and a generally cylindrical sidewall integrally connected to the top and extending downward therefrom. The sidewall of the top is sized to fit over the annular rim of the mold. A plurality of protrusions are spaced circumferentially about the sidewall of the top. The protrusions extend radially inward toward the center of the lid. The protrusions are sized and spaced to cooperate with the rim to provide a sealing engagement.
