In the candle and home fragrance industry, small details make a big difference and the right lid can be just as important as the vessel it tops. But for many brands, finding affordable, readily available lids has been an ongoing challenge.
At JAFE Decorating, we’ve always been known for our decorative painting, screen printing, and private label candle fulfillment. Lids? Not so much. But when our customers told us this was a real pain point in the market, we knew it was time to step in.
The Challenge: A Lid Shortage in the Market
Our customers were frustrated by:
- Limited lid style options that didn’t match their brand aesthetic
- Long lead times due to overseas sourcing
- Higher costs from ordering lids separately from vessels
For brands already managing candle jars, decorating, filling, and retail timelines, this was just one more sourcing headache.
The Solution: Expanding Beyond Glass
We took action by adding 13 new lid styles, a mix of metal and wood designs, to our offering. The best part? These lids are available as add-on options to your regular glass orders.
Now, brands can:
- Order matching vessels and lids in one place
- Reduce freight costs by consolidating orders
- Keep timelines on track with readily available stock
The Results: One-Stop-Shop Convenience
This expansion wasn’t just about lids, it was about solving a bigger supply chain problem for our customers. With vessels, decorating, private label candle filling, and lids available from a single partner, our customers now enjoy:
- Shorter lead times
- Lower overall costs
- Fewer vendors to manage
- Design consistency from vessel to lid
Why This Matters for Candle Brands
Offering a full-service decorating and fulfillment experience means our customers can focus on building their brand, not managing endless sourcing tasks. Whether you need decorative painting to make your vessels stand out, screen printing for branded designs, or quick ship program options to get products to market faster, JAFE has you covered.
The Takeaway
By listening to customer feedback, we’ve grown beyond being just a glass decorator. We’re a problem solver for candle brands, and sometimes, that means adding the perfect finishing touch on top.
