Candle and Home-Fragrance Display Fixtures
Lit samples on the wrap kill packing. Jars on a lipped shelf. Flame only if the handbook says so — not invented here.
Candle and home-fragrance display fixtures for small shops are lipped shelves and a tester edge — not a forest of open flames on the wrap. Independent retailers in Thailand line the cash wrap with lit samples because it smells like a hall. The shops that still pack keep testers on a wipe-down stance and sellable jars on a shelf with tickets.
We do not publish fire ratings, glass specs, or security grades. Mall rules may own open flame — landlord. Bring the handbook. We will not invent a clearance.
Gift shop is the labelled-density sibling. Perfume testers vs full-size is the same split. Beauty tester is hygiene. Acrylic risers lift a story without stealing the stance. Slatwall shelf depth matches the jar.
What the fixture is for
Sellable jars. Lipped shelf, tickets — price tickets. Depth specified. Grocery-deep bays steal boutique walk — aisle width.
Tester. One wipe-down edge, unlit unless the handbook allows flame — we do not promise that. Testers are not the packing wrap — cash wrap, counter height.
Not the window as a candle dump. Heat and leftover stock — window. One story in the glass.
Not a hangrail of boxed candles. Boxes sit. Mesh baskets vs shelves: boxes on a shelf, not a mesh dump.
Impulse: one tray if leftover wrap width packs. Not a third fragrance wall on the till.
Lighting: electrical points on the drawing, no lux claims. Ambient mall light is not our invented spec.
Layout: testers not in the first two metres if they spill.
Humidity: wipe-down, sealed edges. No wax warranty.
When shelf vs tester
| Job | Lipped shelf | Tester edge |
|---|---|---|
| Colourways / boxes | Strong | Weak |
| Try the scent | Weak | Strong — wipe-down |
| Shared wrap | Never a forest | Never open flame on packing |
| Window | One story max | Not a tester hall |
Common mistakes
- Lit candles on the wrap.
- Jars without tickets.
- Fire-rating claims on a fixture blog.
- Hangrail as the candle wall.
What belongs on the quotation
- Shelf bays for jars — depth and lip.
- Tester edge vs wrap split.
- Flame: only if landlord letter exists — not invented here.
- Remaining walk.
- Language of the document, Thai or English.
Send shop type and whether testers are allowed. That is enough to specify shelves instead of a wrap of open jars.
Jars on a shelf, testers off the wrap
If you are fitting a gift or home shop in Thailand that sells candles, split sellable and tester. Send the shop type, the size, and the opening month through the fixture plan form. We will return one fixture schedule and one written quotation — Thai or English — covering shelves, the tester edge, and the walk.
Common questions
- Can we light testers on the cash wrap?
- Packing dies, and mall rules often ban open flame. Testers on a named wipe-down edge. We do not invent a fire rating.
- Should boxed candles hang on slatwall?
- Boxes sit on a lipped shelf. Hangrail is not a candle wall.
- Do jars need price tickets?
- Yes. Unpriced facing is not merchandising.
- Window as a candle hall?
- No. Heat and leftover stock. One story in the glass.
