OEM/ODM Design & Customization Support
We operate as an extension of your product development team. Our in-house design engineers can work from your sketches, CAD files, or even a concept to create a unique tea candle holder that reflects your brand identity. Services include:
- Logo Integration: Etching, embossing, or printing your logo onto glass, metal, or ceramic.

Trust is quantifiable. Our production is guided by a rigorous QC protocol, and we facilitate necessary product testing for target markets. We commonly work with certifications including:

“Consistency is Key.” – Michael R., Import Manager, Home Decor Chain (USA)

“From Concept to Shelf.” – Sophie L., Brand Owner, Luxury Candle Line (UK)
“Their ODM team took my rough idea for a sculpted ceramic tea candle holder and turned it into a stunning, market-ready product. The attention to detail in the glaze and the prototyping speed were impressive. It’s now our best-selling accessory.”

Frequently Asked Questions for B2B Buyers
What is the typical MOQ for custom-designed tea candle holders?
MOQs are flexible and depend on material and design complexity. For standard items, MOQ can start from 500 pieces. For fully custom ODM projects, a higher MOQ may apply to cover mold and setup costs. We work with buyers to find a feasible starting volume.
Can you provide specific certifications like CE or FDA for the holders?
We produce according to common international standards. CE marking for general product safety and FDA standards for relevant glass products are standard in our process. We provide test reports from recognized laboratories and can guide you on the necessary documentation for your market. Final certification is the importer's responsibility based on final product use.
How do you handle quality control before shipment?
We implement a multi-stage QC process: incoming material checks, in-process inspections during production, and a final random inspection (based on AQL sampling standards) before packing. A detailed pre-shipment inspection report with photos can be provided for buyer review prior to shipment authorization.
What packaging options are available?
We offer several options: Bulk packaging (e.g., 100 pieces per carton) to minimize shipping costs, retail-ready packaging like individual poly bags, blister cards, or gift boxes designed to your specification, and eco-friendly options using recycled materials. Packaging design can be part of our OEM/ODM service.
What is your payment term for new clients?
Standard terms for new clients are 30% deposit via T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) and 70% balance against copy of the Bill of Lading. After establishing a successful order history, more flexible terms may be discussed. Payment by Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) is also accepted.
