Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the typical MOQ for your standard large white candles?
Our Minimum Order Quantity is designed to be accessible for businesses of various scales. For our standard catalog items, MOQ can be as low as 500 pieces per specification, depending on size. For customized OEM projects, MOQ is determined by the complexity of the design and packaging.
Can you produce candles compliant with FDA or CE regulations?
Candles themselves are not FDA-approved; however, the materials used (waxes, wicks, fragrances) can be compliant for their intended use. We use materials commonly accepted in international trade. We guide clients on material selection to meet the regulatory expectations of their target market, such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines or EU general product safety requirements.
How do you ensure color consistency across a large order?
Consistency is a result of controlled manufacturing. We use automated dosing for dyes and fragrances, maintain strict temperature controls during the pouring process, and conduct batch testing. A pre-production sample is always approved before full manufacturing begins.
What is your standard production lead time?
For standard orders, lead time is typically 25-35 days after sample confirmation and deposit receipt. This includes production, curing, packing, and booking shipping. Complex customizations or peak season orders may require slightly more time, which we communicate upfront.
Do you offer support with logo and packaging design?
Yes, OEM/ODM design is a core service. We have an in-house team that can translate your concept into a manufacturable product and packaging. We can also work with your provided design files, offering technical advice for optimal production.
