What types of ceramic jars does Gemixx manufacture?
Gemixx produces a wide range of ceramic jars including airtight jars, pickle jars, decorative jars, and storage canisters. All are formed, hand-decorated and glazed in reactive, matte, gloss, or wax-resist glazes at the company's Khurja ceramics factory, and can be coordinated with matching dinnerware and tabletop collections.
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale ceramic jars?
MOQs vary depending on the jar's shape, print design, and packaging requirements. Gemixx scales production from small capsule collections to high-volume retail programs, so exact minimums are confirmed once your design and packaging specifications are finalized during the quoting process.
Can I get custom prints or private-label branding on ceramic jars?
Yes. Gemixx develops custom prints and patterns from client artwork, sketches, or reference samples, and offers full private-label manufacturing with custom packaging. Most of Gemixx's 250+ partner brands manufacture under their own private labels.
How long is the production lead time for ceramic jars?
Production lead time is typically 60–90 days after sample approval. Sampling and prototyping are quoted separately from bulk production, and specific timelines are confirmed per program based on order complexity, quantity, and packaging requirements.
Are Gemixx's ceramic jars food-safe?
Food-contact pieces are made for everyday use, and relevant components meet California Proposition 65 requirements. Specific food-contact and care details are confirmed per program based on glaze type and intended use, so buyers should request documentation for their exact SKU.
What certifications does Gemixx hold for ethical manufacturing?
Gemixx is a SEDEX member and its production facilities are SMETA audited, meaning they undergo Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audits covering labor standards, health and safety, and business ethics. This ensures a socially compliant and transparent supply chain from artisan workshop to warehouse.
Where are the ceramic jars manufactured?
Ceramic jars are hand-decorated at Gemixx's own Khurja ceramics factory in India, with production coordinated from the company's New Delhi headquarters. The vertically integrated supply chain covers everything from prototyping through to delivery at a US warehouse, eliminating third-party intermediaries.
How do you make sure lids fit ceramic jars across a bulk order?
Clay shrinks as it dries and fires, so lid fit is the main quality risk with ceramic jars, especially airtight and storage styles. Specify the closure you want, such as a ceramic lid or a lid with a gasket, and how tight the seal must be. Fit is checked on the approved sample, and our Noida team then runs first-article and lot AQL inspection on production, including lid fit, before export packing. Agree on the acceptable gap or seal test in your quote so everyone inspects to the same standard.
Will glaze color match across a canister set and across reorders?
It depends on the glaze. Matte and gloss glazes can be held close to an approved color standard from jar to jar and order to order. Reactive glazes change as they fire, so no two pieces look the same; buyers choose them for that handmade look. For a canister set sold together, pick a stable glaze or approve a range of acceptable variation on samples. The approved sample is kept as the reference for every reorder.
Can ceramic jars be supplied retail-ready or individually boxed?
Yes. Jars can be packed in plain export cartons for store replenishment, in gift boxes, or in custom private-label packaging with your branding and barcodes. For online sellers, we can supply individually boxed, drop-ship-ready SKUs. Packing and labeling are done at our Noida facility after final inspection. Packaging affects MOQ and unit cost, so include your packaging choice in the brief and we will price it in your quote.
What does a landed-duty-paid price for ceramic jars include?
A landed-duty-paid (LDP) quote is a single delivered price per jar at your chosen US location. It covers manufacturing, export, ocean freight, US import duties, customs clearance and delivery, handled by Gemixx and its US entity, Gemixx USA LLC. You do not need a separate freight forwarder or customs broker. This makes it easier to compare an overseas manufacturer with a domestic distributor on a like-for-like basis, since the distributor's price already includes those costs.
