Archieve.php not loading for custom post type

The single.php template is loaded when you visit a post. The archive.php page is a generic archive template, loaded in case a grouping of posts (a year, a month, a category, a tag, etc.) does not have it’s own template.

Please read this about template hierarchy.

If you want to create a custom post template for a specific post_type you have to create a dedicated template and call if single-post_type.php (replace post_type with your post type, i.e. product).
