Color Testing
Color testing is a critical step that ensures each candle meets the highest standards of aesthetic appeal and quality. This procedure involves blending dyes and pigments with wax to achieve a precise and consistent color. Technicians then evaluate the candles under various lighting conditions to confirm that the hues are vibrant, true to the intended shade, and free from imperfections.
Burn Testing
