Today, a candle is more than a source of light; its warm glow symbolizes
a celebration, budding romance, or defines a ceremony. Consumers are
increasingly purchasing candles to use as a focal point for their home décor,
as well as for aromatherapy-like relaxation and stress reduction. These uses are
reflected in what consumers consider the most important factors in their purchasing
decision, including fragrance, color, design, eco-friendliness, and cost.
Candles have been used for thousands of
years and up until the early part of the 20th
century were the primary source for portable,
artificial light. Original candles were produced through
a dipping method, dating back to the Middle Ages. It
was not until the 1830’s that large-scale manufacturing of
candles became a reality. Modern machines are similar to the
first machines with the only differences being increased speed,
higher accuracy, and greater quality.
