Shedding light on why we got started

Shedding light on why we got started

Back in the summer of 2017, Garden State came to life to fill a hole we saw in the contract manufacturing world. We noticed that small brands, especially those wanting Berlin-made products, were struggling. They were either stuck with huge orders from big manufacturers or had to settle for products made overseas. Understanding the financial strain and risks of big orders, we wanted to help out. Our founder had been through it all, so we know the struggle firsthand.

Candle making isn't a walk in the park. It takes years to get it just right, from picking the perfect wick to making sure everything's safe and sound. Plus, it costs a pretty penny for all the gear and materials. That's where Garden State steps in. We make it easy-peasy by giving you all the tools and know-how you need to make top-notch candles. Whether it's for your own pleasure or for business, our products are sustainably sourced, hand-poured, and top quality. No need to break the bank or spend ages learning the ropes.

Since opening our brick & mortar back in 2018, we've been thrilled to help out many independent small brands as well as globally renowned brands. We offer some of the lowest minimum order quantities around for white and private label fragrances to make sure you are fully satisfied. Every candle we make, crafted from soy wax gets our full attention in our Berlin atelier. We're all about the little details, from pouring to labeling, to make sure you get the best.
