PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Wax, Format, Sizes & Packing
Shabbat candles are lit before sunset and have to stay alight through the Friday-night meal, so burn length and wick match matter more than surface decoration. We fix wax, diameter and wick together and keep the approved sample on file.
The range covers pillar and taper formats in paraffin, filtered beeswax, soy and blends. Sizes and pack counts are confirmed per order, and the standard pack is a two-candle pair inside a retail box.
Wax
Paraffin for a bright, even flame; filtered beeswax for the natural honey note; plant-based soy for ingredient-led ranges.
Format
Pillar bodies that stand on the table or in contemporary holders, and taper formats where tradition calls for a holder.
Wick
100% cotton and lead-free, matched to the candle diameter so the flame does not smoke or tunnel.
Size
Custom diameters and lengths; pairs are sized so the flame outlasts the Friday-night meal.
Packing
Two-piece sets, multi-packs, printed retail boxes and private-label cartons.
SHABBAT LIGHTING GUIDE
Choosing the Right Shabbat Candle
Three details decide whether a candle suits weekly lighting: how it is lit, how long it must burn, and what it stands in.
Two candles per lighting
Shabbat is welcomed with two candles, so pairs are the base selling unit. Retail packs are usually built around 2, 6 or 12 pieces.
Burn through the meal
The flame should last through the Friday-night meal. Tell us the burn length you need and the diameter and wax are set to meet it.
Holder or table
Pillars stand directly on a plate or tray; tapers need a holder. Send the inner diameter of the holder you sell into and the body is matched.

OEM & PRIVATE LABEL
Custom Shabbat Candles for Your Brand
Weekly lighting means repeat purchase, so consistency matters more than novelty. We match color and finish in the wax, keep the approved sample on file, and repeat the same specification on every reorder.
Our custom candle service covers color matching, finish development and packaging; the workshop page shows where the pillars are cast and finished. Sampling starts from 3 free pieces.
Color matching
Solid, two-tone and soft-neutral shades matched in the wax.
Surface & finish
Matte, dipped or textured surfaces developed on sample pillars.
Box & label artwork
Printed boxes and ingredient-led labels produced to your dieline.
Pack configuration
Pairs, 6-packs and 12-packs in display-ready cartons.
PRODUCTION & QUALITY CONTROL
How Our Shabbat Candles Are Made
Pillars are cast, finished and packed at our own factory in Tonglu, with no outsourced casting.
STEP 01
Wax preparation
Wax is melted to a set temperature and the cotton wick is primed so it draws evenly from the first light.
STEP 02
Casting & cooling
Bodies are cast to the approved diameter and cooled under controlled conditions to avoid sink marks.
STEP 03
Burn test
Samples from each batch are burned to confirm the flame lasts the agreed time without smoking or tunnelling.
STEP 04
Finishing & packing
Surfaces are finished, paired and packed to the set or retail pack specification.
Documentation is available on request: MSDS sheets for the wax and color materials, an Intertek SQP audit report, test references against ASTM F2417 and EN 15494, and a REACH statement for the materials used. Files are listed on our certificate page; recent trade shows are on the exhibition page.

Shabbat Candle Wholesale FAQs
Answers to the questions buyers ask most often about wax, burn length, pack sizes and dual-use formats.
