Müşteri Geçmişi
Manchester tealight holder dealer in the United Kingdom, in search of a trusted tealight holder maker to create a new range to fit a new collection to the retailers of boutique home decor products. The dealer needed fancy, brand-sensitive tealight holders that would help them to distinguish their product line but provide the same bulk supply during seasonal promotions.
They chose Mosteb, a professional tealight holder factory after reviewing several suppliers choosing it due to the following reasons:
- Good experience in the production of glass tealights holders customized.
- High molding, coloring, frosting and decoration.
- Consistency of production and export service to the European markets.
- High quality and open communication.
The capacity to bring the fineness of decoration with the dependability of a factory company predisposed us to be their long term partner.
Zorluklar
When mumluklar were being customized to meet the brand idea of the client, there arose two significant difficulties:
- Obtaining Complicated Decorative Effects without losing heat resistance.
The dealer asked to have a thick-bottomed glass tealight holder having a metallic coating on its inside with vertical ribbing on the outside to produce a warm ambient ambience.
But, when using internal metallic spraying of coating, there was a high demand on the thickness of the coating. Any overlay would peel or discolour when subjected to heat when burning tealights. Simultaneously, deep ribbed structures were required to keep a consistent wall thickness to avoid stress fracture in the course of annealing.
Such a task as the combination of visual extravagance and the ability to maintain heat over the long term demanded the simplest possible adjustment of the processes and their subsequent technical verification.
- Stringent Dimensional Tolerance of Tealight Fit and Stability.
The personalized design needed to fit in the standard 38mm aluminum-cup tealights. Any deviation of at least 1-2mm in inner diameter would lead to either wobbly candle placement or uneven burning.
Moreover, the customer had to have custom embossed branding in the bottom, which influenced the structure of molds and the flatness of the interior. The design of the tooling required more effort to ensure a flat bottom surface with branding information.
There was a need to do precision engineering so as to satisfy aesthetic and functional requirements.
Sonuç
Mosteb introduced a systemic solution in order to overcome these problems:
- Repackaged mold designs in order to preserve ribbed clarity and reinforce areas susceptible to stress.
- High temperature coating adhesion trials were conducted to verify that the metallic gradient would not change in the course of prolonged burn period.
- Tolerances of inner diameter once a number of measurement trials had been completed to ensure a tight fitment of tealight.
- Conducted batch sampling and impact resistance test prior to authorizing mass production.
During the project, we were in close contact with the tealight holder dealer with progress information, sample photos, dimensional check information, and production details.
The customized tealight holders fully satisfied aesthetic, safety and durability requirements and were shipped on time so that the client could use it in his winter retail campaign.
Çözüm
- Pre-Production Planning (Technical Solution Development): We had intensive consultations on target price, decoration style, compatibility of candles and packaging specifications. It required our engineering team to test the validity of molds, coating, and annealing parameters, and verify final technical drawings.
- Optimization of Sample Production and Feedback: First samples were made to be evaluated visually as well as on performance. Through client feedback we optimised the density of coating, depth of rib and tolerance of inner diameter. Changes were provided to the point of complete approval.
- Cost-saving and mass production: Upon confirmation, production planning concentrated on the efficiency of materials and yielding rates that were to remain constant. Forming, annealing, decoration and packaging stages had strict quality inspection to maintain consistency throughout bulk orders.
- Constant Communication and Delivery Guarantee: Our communication during the production stage was frequent with the sharing of inspection information and shipment orders. All the small problems were solved at time to achieve customer satisfaction and timely delivery.
