How to Prevent Breakage & Melting in Candle Shipment?

For B2B candles importers, the real challenge begins after your candles leave the factory. A low-cost supplier’s responsibility ends at loading, but a high-capability partner ensures safe delivery to your warehouse. Here’s how we manage risks:

1. Smart Incoterms Selection of Candles

Your choice impacts cost, control, and liability:

✅ FOB (Recommended) – We handle export customs; you control shipping

✅ CIF – We arrange sea freight & insurance

✅ DDP (Premium Service) – Full door-to-door delivery, including duties

Avoid EXW—it shifts all inland transport risks to you.

2. Solving the 2 Biggest Candles Shipping Risks

A. Preventing Melting (Heat Control)

Risk: Container temps can hit 60°C (140°F), melting wax.

Our Solution:

Material Control: Custom wax blends with higher melt points

Seasonal Adjustments: Modified formulas for hot climates (e.g., Middle East)

B. Preventing Breakage (Shock Protection)

Risk: Glass/ceramic candles are fragile during transit.

Our 3-Layer Defense:

Inner: Grid dividers for individual units

Middle: Dense foam/carton padding

Outer: 5-ply waterproof master cartons

Proven Safety: Annual 1-meter drop tests guarantee durability.
