A private label candle carries your brand and is made by a manufacturer. This guide explains how such a project works with us, step by step, and what to send for an accurate quote.
What is a private label candle?
A private label candle is made by a manufacturer and sold under the buyer's brand. The buyer decides the product and the packaging. The manufacturer produces both and delivers them ready for the shelf.
What we do in a private label project
- Agree the candle. Size, wax, colour and wick. We make beeswax, paraffin and stearin candles.
- Agree the packaging. Pack size, material, print and the languages on the box.
- Send samples. You check quality, size, colour and material before a larger order.
- Quote. The price depends on the product, quantity, packaging and delivery country.
- Produce and pack. We make the candles in our own facility and pack them in your box.
- Ship. From Ukraine or from our warehouse in Poland, depending on the order and destination.
What you need to tell a candle manufacturer
A clear request gets a clear quote. Send these five things:
- the candle: type, size, wax and colour
- how many candles go in one pack
- the estimated quantity of packs
- your packaging idea, or a note that you need help with it
- the delivery country
Why packaging matters as much as the candle
In a shop the box sells the candle. A window in the carton lets customers see the colour and the material before they read a word. The box also carries the safety pictograms that candles sold in the EU need under the EN 15494 standard.
Questions buyers ask us
What is the minimum order for private label candles?
It depends on the product, material, packaging and level of customisation. We confirm the minimum in the quote.
Can you make the packaging too?
Yes. We make the candles and the printed box, and deliver them ready for the shelf.

Beeswax and paraffin tapers, church candles in sizes №5 to №100, pillar candles, coloured candles and custom formats.
