What contract candle production covers
Manufacturers may offer stock blends with your fragrance and branding, or fully custom development. Filling into your vessels versus theirs changes cost, MOQ, and lead time.
Briefing essentials
Target fragrance direction or supplier codes, wax preferences, vessel details, fill weights, label artwork, quantities, and launch timing.
Ask what safety and labelling information the manufacturer provides and what remains your responsibility — verify current requirements with qualified sources.
UK notes
