Tips for First-Time Buyers
1. Test the Candle Formula
Different waxes perform differently in different glass containers.
Always conduct burn testing before final production.
2. Consider Wall Thickness
Thicker glass generally improves durability and luxury appearance.
3. Match the Lid Carefully
Proper lid fit helps preserve fragrance and improve customer experience.
4. Plan Decoration Early
Luxury finishes may affect lead times and production costs.
5. Consider Shipping Costs
Large candle jars can be heavy, so packaging design should balance appearance and transportation efficiency.
