Storage & Shipping

Proper storage and shipping preserve candle quality and safety.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place (60–75°F / 16–24°C), away from direct sunlight
• Keep away from heat sources and ozone-producing appliances
• Cover finished candles to prevent dust and scent cross-contamination
• Label boxes with batch IDs and cure dates; use first-in-first-out (FIFO)

Shipping

• Use snug packaging with dividers; prevent glass-to-glass contact
• Add temperature protection in hot/cold seasons (insulated mailers, cold packs if needed)
• Include warning labels and burn instructions in each shipment
• Test shipping by sending to yourself across zones to validate packing

Returns & Damage

• Photograph damage; document lot/batch
• Improve void fill and corner protection for glass containers
• Consider thicker-walled vessels for long-distance shipping
