Behind every Antique Candle Co.® candle, there is a team that ensures you are receiving quality that is nothing less than incredible on EVERY order! From start to finish our team routinely collects customer feedback, researches and tests new fragrances, and sets higher-than-industry standards to guarantee that your candles are poured and packed to perfection. ❤️
Now it’s time to throw your aprons on as we take you on an exclusive VIP tour to show you all the ins and outs of candle-making!
Marketing: Every candle starts as a dream! Marketing regularly schedules time to collaborate and pitch creative ideas to make those dreams a reality. We are always keeping a sharp eye on our emails + DM's for your suggestions! Think about a time you recommended a new fragrance or a super fun product you would like to see —that is ALL considered by our team to ensure we are creating high-quality products that YOU are asking for!
Testing: Each 100% soy wax candle is thoroughly tested to ensure it burns even and clean each and every time. Our Quality Assurance Team works hard to test all new scents before placed into production. PS: some actually do fail testing and are never created. However, it is from these results that we learn the most about how to properly create a new fragrance or product so it maintains its quality and lasts as long as possible.
Wicking: Before the wax and yummy fragrances, comes one of the most essential steps—no candle is ever complete without this! Wicking is where our team inspects the jars from top to bottom to verify that our beautifully printed labels designed in-house look stunning and all aspects of the glass are safe to send out. Can you guess how many 2 oz. samples our team managed to wick in 2023?…
Pouring: We have come a longgg way since the early days of candle making and we are operating more dynamically than ever before to continuously provide the highest quality wax while increasing the number of candles we are able to create! Pouring starts at the begining of our conveyor belt. As the candles move down the conveyor, candle-makers are catching wicks. Once the candles reach the end of the conveyor, they are checked for any defects and then lidded and pushed over to shipping!
Shipping: One word: SPEEDY! Raise a hand if you have ever purchased an Antique Candle Co. ® and received a shipping confirmation SUPER fast?! Our shippers strive to get your order picked, packed, and in the hands of carriers within 1-2 business days. We are frequently analyzing and testing our packaging to implement the sturdiest and most sustainable options to better take care of our planet and make sure your candles arrive safely!
To us, making candles is truly a labor of love! Without our faith, incredible candle friends like you, and hardworking crew, what we have accomplished so far and plan to explore in the future would not be possible.
