Core Product Specifications

Why Candle Brands Choose This Jar

• Wide three-wick format: the 4.3-inch diameter gives brands room to develop an even three-wick burn pattern.
• Modern low profile: the broad, relatively short silhouette looks substantial without appearing bulky.
• Flexible positioning: matte black suits bold or masculine ranges, while frosted white supports clean, minimal and seasonal collections.
• Large decoration area: the cylindrical wall accommodates a front logo, wrap label or multi-panel compliance label.
• Gift-ready options: the jar can be coordinated with white boxes, printed cartons or premium gift packaging.
• Reusable vessel: after proper cleaning, consumers may repurpose an intact jar for non-food storage or decoration.

Understanding 16 oz Capacity and Candle Fill Weight

“16 oz” can describe fluid volume or product weight, and the two are not interchangeable. Sixteen US fluid ounces is approximately 473 ml, but the finished candle’s net weight depends on wax density, fragrance load, fill temperature, wick displacement and the headspace left below the rim.

Before printing a net-weight claim, the candle maker should fill and weigh the production wax blend in the approved jar. The test should record:

• Empty jar tare weight
• Recommended wax fill line and top headspace
• Wax and fragrance density at the filling temperature
• Final cooled candle weight after shrinkage and top-off

This protects the importer from overfilling, inaccurate labels and inconsistent burn performance.

Glass Compared with Other Candle Vessel Materials

Material Advantages and Limitations

Advantages

• Glass does not absorb fragrance oil easily and presents the wax cleanly.
• The rigid surface supports screen printing, labels, spraying and premium boxes.
• A wide, stable base suits tabletop use in homes, hotels, spas and event settings.
• The container can be recycled or repurposed when it remains intact and local systems accept it.

Limitations

• Glass can crack from impact, thermal shock, inclusions or an unsuitable wick system.
• Its weight increases freight and requires protective partitions.
• Matte coatings can show scratches or oil marks if coating and packing are poorly controlled.
• The empty jar alone is not a certified finished candle; the brand must validate the complete wax-wick-fragrance-vessel system.

Three-Wick Design and Burn Performance

Three wicks can help a wide vessel develop a more even melt pool, but simply adding three wicks does not guarantee a safe or clean burn. Wick material, wick diameter, spacing, wax type, fragrance percentage, dye, fill level and room conditions all affect flame height and vessel temperature.

Candle manufacturers should run repeated burn tests with the actual production formula. Testing should monitor flame behavior, soot, mushrooming, melt-pool depth, container temperature, wick migration, self-extinguishing behavior and remaining wax at end of life. A wick-centering fixture helps maintain consistent spacing during filling and cooling.

Color, Logo and Decoration Options

BYG002 can be supplied in matte black, frosted white, grey or a custom color. Importers should provide a Pantone reference, finish target and physical sample where color accuracy is important.

The supplied list includes one- through six-color printing and several print processes, but not every process is equally suitable for a curved, heat-exposed glass vessel. Final decoration should be selected after artwork and performance review rather than from the platform menu alone.

Lid, Dust Protection and Everyday Convenience

A lid is not specified in the supplied product attributes and should not be assumed to be included. Boyu can evaluate compatible glass, metal, wood, bamboo or plastic lid options if the jar mouth dimensions and brand brief allow them. A lid can protect the wax from dust, reduce fragrance exposure between uses and improve gifting, but it is not a pressure seal and should never be placed on a burning or hot candle.

Unlike liquid packaging, a candle jar does not normally need leakproof closure performance after the wax has cooled. The key risk is molten-wax seepage caused by a cracked vessel. That risk is managed through glass inspection, controlled filling temperature, careful handling and complete burn testing.

Suitable Markets and Use Scenarios

Manufacturing and Decoration Process

1. Requirement review: jar model, quantity, finish, logo, lid and retail packing are defined.
2. Glass forming: molten glass is formed in the selected mold and transferred through controlled annealing.
3. Base inspection: jars are checked for dimensions, capacity, stability and visible glass defects.
4. Surface finishing: matte or custom-color spraying is applied where specified.
5. Logo decoration: screen printing, labeling or another approved process is completed.
6. Accessory and box coordination: optional lids, labels, inserts and boxes are fitted to approved samples.
7. Final QC and packing: appearance, adhesion, dimensions and protective packing are checked before shipment.

The “handmade” attribute should be confirmed for the final project. Commercial glass candle jars are commonly mold-formed, while decoration, label application, finishing or candle filling may include manual operations. Avoid making a fully handmade-glass claim unless the production method supports it.

Quality Control and Candle Safety

Boyu Packaging describes a quality system covering incoming materials, in-process inspection, finished-product checks, packing inspection and pre-shipment review. For a candle jar program, the control plan can include:

• Diameter, height, mouth, capacity, weight and base-stability measurements
• Inspection for cracks, chips, sharp edges, stones, severe bubbles and deformation
• Annealing/thermal-stress testing according to the agreed standard
• Spray-color consistency, rim masking, print registration and tape-adhesion checks
• Optional lid fit and box/insert fit
• Carton drop, vibration or transport testing for the export pack

Environmental Profile and Reuse

Glass can be recycled repeatedly where local collection systems accept candle containers. Its long service life also makes it suitable for repurposing after the wax and wick tab are removed. Custom coatings, labels, adhesives and mixed-material lids may affect the local recycling route, so brands should design for easy separation where possible.

“Eco-friendly” should be supported with specific facts rather than used as a broad claim. Examples include recyclable glass, recycled-content glass where documented, reduced secondary packaging, water-based or lower-impact coatings where verified, and a refill/reuse system with safe consumer instructions.

MOQ, Price and Quotation Factors

The stated MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design. If one order uses several jar colors, logos, boxes or lids, ask whether each combination is a separate SKU and whether the MOQ applies to each design.

There is no accurate universal unit price without a complete specification. Main cost factors include:

• Glass weight, wall/base construction and production quantity
• Clear, matte, frosted-look or custom-color finish
• Number of print colors and decoration process
• Optional lid material, liner and fit
• Bulk carton, individual white box, printed color box or gift box
• Order quantity, palletization, destination and Incoterm
• New mold, custom embossing or special testing

OEM/ODM Process

1. Send the brief: quantity, wax type, three-wick concept, color, logo, lid, box and destination.
2. Confirm existing jar: review the drawing, sample, mouth dimensions, capacity and finish options.
3. Receive quotation: compare jar, decoration, lid, box, tooling and freight as separate items.
4. Approve samples: sign off jar quality, color, logo, lid and box structure.
5. Run candle tests: fill and burn-test the final wax-wick-fragrance system.
6. Mass production: production begins after approvals, payment and commercial terms are confirmed.
7. Inspection and export: finished packaging is inspected, packed and shipped under the agreed Incoterm.

Is a New Mold Required?

A new mold is generally unnecessary if the existing BYG002 dimensions and mouth profile meet the project. Custom tooling may be required for a proprietary diameter or height, embossed logo, unusual base, exclusive mouth or other structural change. Tool cost, sample rounds, ownership, maintenance and development time should be quoted separately.

Production Time and International Logistics

Lead time depends on jar availability, coating, printing, lid, gift-box complexity, quantity and peak-season scheduling. Existing jars with simple decoration are typically faster than custom colors, multi-process finishes, exclusive boxes or newly tooled designs. Buyers should allow time for jar samples, candle tests, artwork approval, mass production, inspection and transit.

Glass jars are heavy and fragile, so landed cost is strongly influenced by protective packing and freight. Request pieces per carton, carton dimensions, net/gross weight, pallet plan and container-loading quantity before comparing courier, air, LCL and full-container sea freight. For high-volume orders, sea freight is usually more economical than air shipping.

After-Sales Support

Before production, both parties should approve the physical sample, color tolerance, print standard, defect classification, inspection method and claim period. If damage or a quality issue is discovered, retain the cartons and affected jars and provide the purchase order, batch details, quantities, photos or video and unpacking records. This allows Boyu to trace the lot and assess replacement, rework, credit or another remedy under the order agreement.

Importer Checklist Before Ordering

• Confirm whether 16 oz means brimful volume, recommended fill volume or finished candle net weight.
• Approve a drawing showing diameter, height, mouth, wall/base specification, weight and tolerances.
• Request thermal-stress and glass-quality criteria appropriate to a candle vessel.
• Test the final three-wick layout with the actual wax, fragrance and dye.
• Approve coating color, scratch tolerance and print adhesion on production-equivalent samples.
• Clarify whether lids, labels, boxes and inserts are included in the quote.
• Confirm MOQ per color, logo and box design.
• Calculate landed cost from the final carton and pallet data, not marketplace single-package figures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

The stated MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design. Different colors, logos or gift boxes may be treated as separate designs.

What are the jar dimensions?

The listed size is approximately 4.3 inches in diameter × 3 inches high, equal to about Ø109.2 × H76.2 mm. Final tolerances must be confirmed on the factory drawing.

Does 16 oz mean the candle contains 16 oz of wax?

Not necessarily. The listing states a 16 oz volume, while the actual wax weight depends on wax density, fill level and fragrance load. Fill and weigh the final formula before printing the net weight.

Is the jar supplied with a lid?

A lid is not included in the supplied attributes. Compatible lid options can be evaluated and quoted after the mouth dimensions and preferred material are confirmed.

Can the color and logo be customized?

Yes. Available directions include matte black, frosted white, grey, custom spraying, screen printing and labels. Final feasibility depends on the artwork and finish.

Is this jar safe for three-wick candles?

It is designed as a three-wick candle jar, but safety depends on the complete candle system. The buyer must conduct thermal and repeated burn tests with the final wax, wick, fragrance, dye and fill level.

What are the jar weight and wall thickness?

They were not supplied as confirmed product specifications. Request the approved technical drawing and sample rather than using the platform’s 2 kg shipping weight.

Can Boyu provide individual gift boxes?

Yes. Options include a white box, printed color box, gift box or custom box. Box style, insert, board grade and artwork affect the price and MOQ.

Is the glass eco-friendly and reusable?

Glass is recyclable where accepted and an undamaged jar may be repurposed after proper wax removal. Specific environmental claims should be supported by material and process documentation.

How do I request an accurate quotation?

Send the jar quantity, color, logo artwork, printing method, lid requirement, box type, destination and Incoterm. State whether you need empty packaging only or additional candle-filling support.
