Best Customised Candles for Corporate Gifting
Share
For corporate gifting, customised candles work best at 50–5,000 units with branding on the packaging and card rather than the candle itself. Budget ₹300–₹1,500 per unit depending on format, and allow 2–3 weeks including the ten-day cure.
What can actually be customised
| Element | Feasible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Card / insert | Yes | Logo, message, names. Lowest cost, fastest. |
| Outer packaging | Yes | Logo on the box or sleeve. |
| Candle label | Yes | On jars. Not possible on sculpted pieces. |
| Scent selection | Yes | Choose from the 12 Scent Library fragrances. |
| Printing on wax | Not advised | Adds cost and lead time, burns away. |
| Bespoke moulds | High volume only | Tooling cost makes sense above ~1,000 units. |
Realistic budgets
Per-unit cost falls with volume, but not as steeply as buyers often expect — hand-pouring does not benefit from scale the way machine production does.
| Quantity | Per unit | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 50–100 | ₹500–₹1,500 | Leadership, key clients |
| 100–500 | ₹400–₹900 | Team-wide, Diwali gifting |
| 500–2,000 | ₹300–₹600 | Large-scale employee gifting |
| 2,000+ | Contact us | Annual programmes |
Lead times
Two to three weeks for most orders, four or more above 1,000 units or with bespoke packaging. That includes the ten-day cure, which is not compressible — a candle shipped early smells weaker, which defeats the purpose.
For Diwali, place corporate orders by early October. Demand and courier congestion both peak in the fortnight before.
Practicalities
We invoice with GST, ship pan-India from Ludhiana, and can deliver to a single address or to individual recipients. See corporate gifting for the full range, or write to us with quantity, budget and date.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for corporate candles?
50 units. Below that, ordering from the site directly is simpler and faster.
Can you add our company logo?
Yes — on the card, the outer packaging, and jar labels. We advise against printing on the wax itself, since it burns away.
Do you provide GST invoices?
Yes, on all corporate orders.
How long does a corporate order take?
Two to three weeks typically, four or more for very large or bespoke orders. The ten-day cure is included and cannot be shortened.
Can you ship to individual employee addresses?
Yes. Send us the address list and we will dispatch individually rather than to one location.
