Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Memorial Candle Buyers
What is the typical MOQ for custom memorial candles?
MOQ varies based on customization complexity. For standard customizations (like your label on our standard candle), MOQ can start around 1,000 pieces. For fully custom designs requiring new molds, MOQ will be higher. We strive to offer flexible solutions for new partnerships.
Can you produce memorial candles with specific religious symbols or text?
Yes, this is a core part of our OEM/ODM design service. We can incorporate symbols, text, or specific colors into the candle design or its packaging. Design files provided should be in vector format (AI, EPS) for best results.
What safety certifications can your candles comply with?
Our partner factories can produce candles that meet various international standards, including CE (for the EU market) and are manufactured using quality management systems aligned with ISO 9001. It is essential to specify your target market's required certifications during inquiry so we can confirm production feasibility.
How do you ensure consistent quality in large orders?
We implement a multi-stage quality assurance process: raw material inspection, in-process checks during production, and a final random inspection before shipment (based on AQL sampling standards). We can also arrange for third-party inspections upon request.
What are the standard payment terms?
Standard terms are 30% deposit via T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) with the balance paid before shipment. For established partners, other terms can be discussed. Letters of Credit (L/C) are also accepted.
