Corporate gifting
Corporate gift candles in Dubai: a buyer's checklist
A branded candle is one of the few corporate gifts people actually keep on the desk or take home: it is useful, it smells of something memorable and your logo stays in sight for dozens of hours of burn time. Here is what to decide before you order corporate gift candles.
Who are the corporate gift candles for?
The audience shapes the brief:
- Clients and partners — a premium finish: printed frosted jar, branded printed box.
- Exhibitions and events — larger volumes, a clear logo that reads from a distance. For NAKHLA we supplied exhibition giveaways with bold red branding on frosted glass.
- Employees and seasonal campaigns — Ramadan, Eid, year-end: a shared design with a choice of fragrances.
How your logo goes on the candle
For property developer ORA we supplied candles with white geometric branding printed directly on frosted glass — a clean, architectural look that fits a real-estate brand. For EURO TECH we used clear glass jars, bamboo lids and branded sticker labels. Both approaches work; the difference is finish, volume and timing:
| Sticker label | Printed jar | |
|---|---|---|
| Add-on per unit | +5 AED | +15 AED (one colour) |
| Lead time after approval | about 1 week | 10–14 working days |
| Minimum | smaller runs by agreement | 300 units per design |
| Sample | AED 100 | AED 250 |
Samples are fully credited against an order of 300+ units.
Budget per gift
The base candle costs AED 70 (100 ml), AED 90 (200 ml) or AED 110 (300 ml) per unit for 300+ units, excluding VAT. The base price includes the jar (clear, matte black or frosted white; 100 ml in clear only), a standard wick, soy wax, a bamboo or silver / gold metal lid and one base fragrance. A 300 ml printed candle in a branded printed box comes to 110 + 15 + 15 = AED 140 per gift before VAT. Try your own combination in the price estimator.
Plan the timeline backwards
Start from the date you hand out the gifts and work back: delivery, production (1 week for stickers, 10–14 working days for printing), sample approval, and the time your team needs to sign off the design. For event deadlines, send the brief as early as possible — expedited production is available by agreement.
Packaging makes it a gift
A kraft box (+5 AED) keeps it simple; a branded printed box (+15 AED) turns the candle into a finished gift; a fabric pouch (+3 AED) adds a soft, natural touch. Larger gift arrangements are quoted to your brief.
Add a reed diffuser to the box
A candle and a reed diffuser in one gift box, in one design and one fragrance, turns a single candle into a set. Diffusers follow the candle price list: AED 70, 90 and 110 per unit for 100, 200 and 300 ml, from 300 pieces per size, excluding VAT, with your label on the bottle and the box. Samples are ready, so you can see one with your logo before you commit. More on the reed diffusers page.
