Glass Candle Jars and Vessels

Candle jars are typically made from soda-lime or borosilicate glass. Borosilicate is preferred where thermal shock resistance matters due to its low thermal-expansion coefficient, while soda-lime glass is a cost-effective option for standard fragranced candle fills and general display vessels.

Yes. Many manufacturers offer private label programs including custom mold development, embossing, etching, printing to artwork, and custom packaging. These programs support brands ranging from focused capsule collections to high-volume co-packing runs, with sample approval required before full production begins.

Production typically takes 40-60 days after sample approval, with sampling and prototyping quoted separately. Lead times can vary based on mold complexity, finish requirements, and order volume, so buyers should factor sampling time into their overall timeline.

Yes, when properly engineered. Vessels are sized and shaped for safe wax adhesion and appropriate burn characteristics, and borosilicate glass options provide added thermal shock resistance for applications involving higher heat exposure or repeated use.

Common finish options include clear, colored, frosted, cut, seeded, embossed, etched, and printed glass. These can be combined with custom mold shapes to create differentiated packaging for retail, hospitality, gifting, or seasonal product lines.

Minimum order quantities vary by manufacturer and depend on mold requirements, finish complexity, and whether existing molds are used versus custom tooling. Buyers should request a quote with their target vessel specs and volumes to receive accurate pricing and minimums.
