From the day you approve your artwork, not the day you pay. Fourteen days of that is the cure and we do not shorten it.
What we need from you
- Label artwork. PDF, AI, EPS or SVG at 300 dpi, CMYK, 3 mm bleed. Dieline on request.
- A fragrance choice, or your own oil with its safety data sheet.
- Approval of the proof and the draft hazard panel before we print.
You are the legal supplier of the finished product. Your name goes on the label and the final check is yours.
How to start
Order a sample, £30. One finished candle in the fragrance you are considering, with your label on it if your artwork is ready. Cured the full fourteen days, like everything else we make. The £30 comes off your first order.
