Buyer questions

Before approving the direction

What information is needed to quote custom candle & home fragrance packaging?

Share filled vessel dimensions and weight, lid, reeds and accessory dimensions, oil or fragrance exposure concerns, retail and e-commerce channels, required pack-out and testing. The final specification and quotation remain project-specific.

Which packaging structure should the buyer select first?

Start from product geometry, packed weight, risk, presentation sequence, channel, transport route, and material priorities. A sample should confirm the selected direction.

Does the recommended structure include a fixed MOQ or lead time?

No. Quantity feasibility and schedule depend on the final structure, materials, processes, approvals, packing, and current production plan.
