Why October Is the Perfect Time to Launch Your Private Label Candle Line

As the days grow shorter and the holiday season approaches, October becomes the most strategic month of the year for brands, boutiques, and businesses looking to launch or restock custom candles. Whether you are a wellness studio, a boutique retailer, or a corporate team planning client gifts, this is the window to get ahead.

At Unique Custom Candles, we specialize in helping businesses create hand-poured, clean-burning, private-label candles that elevate your brand and leave a lasting impression.

Why October Matters for Candle Production

1-Holiday Lead Times

By confirming your order in October, you secure a production slot before schedules tighten in November and December. This ensures your candles arrive exactly when you need them for the holiday rush.

2- Best-Selling Fall & Holiday Candle Scents

October is candle season. These fragrances consistently perform as top sellers across retail and gifting:

  • Berry Garland – Red berries, orange peel, balsam fir, and vetiver for a nostalgic but elevated holiday mood.

  • Spiced Oat Latte – A foodie favorite that blends cozy spice with a hint of sweetness—perfect for “home for the holidays” vibes.

  • Champagne + Cranberry – Bubbly, tart, and festive—ideal for holiday parties and New Year launches.

  • Persimmon + Pumpkin – warm fall spices, citrus notes, and brown sugar for true seasonal comfort.

  • Winter Cabin – Pine, smoke, and warm woods, evoking that perfect snowed-in holiday getaway.

3- Lowest MOQ in the Industry

At Unique Custom Candles, we believe every brand, creator, and business deserves the opportunity to bring their vision to life—no matter their size. That’s why our minimums start at just 50 units per scent. This makes it possible for boutique shops, startups, and large corporations alike to launch a custom candle collection without overcommitting. By keeping our entry point low, we open the door for all kinds of people and businesses to create candles that genuinely reflect their identity.

October Highlights That Make It Happen

Here’s what sets us apart in this critical window:

  1. 200+ Clean Fragrance Oils: From seasonal gourmands to timeless classics.

  2. Fast Turnaround Options: In-stock vessels (maple, saffron, honey, alabaster, and more) cut weeks off lead time.

  3. Complimentary BTS Content: We provide photos and videos so you can market your candles the moment they arrive.

  4. Customizable Branding: Labels and pad-printing tailored to your aesthetic. Canva boxes for quick and affordable prices.
