Client Background
Our client is a fast-growing candle brand from Belgium,while searching for a professional glass candle holders vendor, they partnered with Mosteb to develop a custom clear glass candle holder with a soft hammered texture and a widened, heat-resistant base.
This custom style was chosen to enhance light diffusion when the candle is lit, while the reinforced base improves safety and stability for tabletop use. The brand selected Mosteb because of our direct factory manufacturing, ability to handle custom surface textures at scale, and consistent quality control across repeat orders.b
Challenges
- Surface Texture Inconsistency: Early trial samples showed uneven hammered patterns, which affected visual uniformity in retail displays.
- Heat Resistance During Extended Burn: Some holders became overly warm at the base during long burn tests, raising concerns about table protection.
Cause Analysis
Our technical team carried out a detailed analysis and identified two core issues:
- Inconsistent pressure during glass forming led to variations in the hammered texture depth.
- Uneven glass mass distribution at the base reduced heat dissipation efficiency.
To address these issues, Mosteb conducted forming-pressure calibration, reviewed thermal distribution during extended burn simulations, and tested multiple base-thickness profiles.
Solution
- Optimized mold pressure to achieve uniform hammered texture across all units.
- Increased base thickness slightly while maintaining overall design balance.
- Adjusted annealing time to improve heat resistance and structural stability.
- Added batch-level burn and stability testing before shipment.
Result
The final glass candle holders met both aesthetic and safety standards, achieving consistent texture, improved heat resistance, and stable performance. The Belgian brand successfully launched its new candle line, receiving strong feedback from retailers. Mosteb has since become their long-term glass candle holders vendor for future collections.
