What we do
We turn what shoppers keep wanting into products that sell on the shelf now — and we stand behind them. For home fragrance, tabletop and home décor programs, Jason Craft covers four things: market research and design proposals, product design and development, supply chain management across Taiwan, China and Vietnam, and quality and delivery we take responsibility for.
01 · Market research & design proposals
What people want from a candle or a dinner table barely changes. The format that delivers it changes every season. We track North American home retail every month — what is moving on the shelf, at which price, in which material and color — and turn it into product directions.
02 · Product design & development
Decoration we develop in-house with our factories: hand-painting, carving, decals, color and reactive glazes, spray glazing, gradient spray, sand-blasting, silk-screening, acid-etching and colored art glass.
Product development in practice
Every product starts somewhere different: a color theme, a hand sketch, a surface pattern or an engineering drawing. Our designers carry it through 2D drawings and 3D models to tooling and the production sample. Five examples from real programs:
Theme board
Glaze trials
Final color-waysA trend direction becomes a glaze. We translate a mood board into spray-glaze trials at the factory, then lock the color-way into a production-ready gradient.
Hand sketch
2D drawing
Finished productA designer sketch of a textured surface, turned into a dimensioned drawing and a finished matte ceramic vessel.
2D pattern
3D model
CAD & CNC master
Finished productA flat floral pattern is wrapped onto the vessel with a recessed label panel, modeled in 3D, cut as a CNC master for the mold and glazed.
Engineering drawing
3D model
Machine-made glassFor glass, wall thickness and base geometry decide whether a vessel fills, burns and ships well. We work them out on the drawing before tooling.
Shape + palette
Shape + paletteEach shape is proposed in color-ways matched to the customer’s palette, so the buyer reviews a range, not a single sample.
03 · Supply chain management
04 · Quality & delivery we stand behind
Quality control and compliance are the entry ticket, not the selling point. What matters is what happens when a lot fails or a date slips — and who is responsible. Our QC staff control quality from incoming materials, sample during production and run a final inspection before shipment; products are tested by independent labs, and when there is a problem we fix it with the factory and carry it through to the next order.
The record: PartyLite recognized Jason Craft for on-time delivery six times between 2003 and 2015, and as Supplier of the Year in 2001, 2009 and 2012.
Compliance, audits & testing
With third-party lab reports on the product itself, our own inspectors on the production line, and audit documents checked factory by factory. We do not quote a certificate we cannot show you.
We send production samples to independent laboratories, including Eurofins and SGS, and test against the rules of the market the product is sold in. Recent reports for our tabletop, kitchen and home fragrance programs cover:
Lead and cadmium: U.S. FDA CPG 7117.06 / 7117.07 leaching limits, California Proposition 65 consent-decree levels, and the California Tableware Safety Law (Health & Safety Code 108860).
U.S. FDA 21 CFR requirements for melamine (177.1460), polypropylene (177.1520), coatings (175.300), sealing gaskets (177.1210) and treated wood (178.3800), plus BPA screening where the buyer requires it.
ASTM F2179 for glass containers used as candle holders, and lead content of painted and decorated surfaces.
Electric home fragrance products we have supplied to North American retail have carried ETL listing from Intertek to UL 1026 / CSA C22.2 No. 64. Listing is tied to the exact model, so we confirm it model by model for each program.
Test reports are tied to the item, the factory and the buyer that ordered them. We share the relevant report with you under NDA, and we arrange new testing for your item. Test fees are listed as a separate line in the quote.
Factories we work with have been through third-party social-compliance and security audits, including amfori BSCI and SCAN supply-chain security audits carried out by accredited audit firms. Audit certificates are available on request. For each program we also check the current audit status of the specific factory, share the latest report, and, if your program needs it, schedule the audit scheme you require before production starts.
Jason Craft Corporation is D-U-N-S® registered with Dun & Bradstreet.
Our QC staff in China and Vietnam control quality at three points:
Every result is logged in our inspection system with photos and defect notes. When a lot fails, the factory reworks it and we inspect it again.
| Ceramics | Glass | |
|---|---|---|
| Main products | Candle vessels, dinnerware, vases, decorative ceramics | Candle vessels, mugs and cups, threaded bottles, lamp shades |
| Processes | Porcelain and stoneware; hand-painting, carving, decals, color and reactive glazes, spray glazing | Automated, semi-automated, hand-blown, centrifugal and press lines; threaded bottle line with annealing kiln |
| Sample time | Around 21 days | Around 35–45 days (hand-tooled samples, made in China) |
| Production lead time | Around 90 days first order; 75–90 days repeat | Around 60–90 days once production tooling is ready |
| MOQ | From 2,000–5,000 pcs per design | From 2,000 pcs hand-blown; ~30,000 semi-automated; ~50,000 automated |
| Factory audit | Audited factory; certificate available on request | Dedicated QC team on site |
Ranges depend on the design, decoration and season. We confirm exact MOQ and timing for each item.
Typically from 2,000 to 5,000 pieces per design, depending on the shape and decoration.
Samples take around 21 days. A first order takes around 90 days and repeat orders around 75 to 90 days.
It depends on the process: from 2,000 pieces for hand-blown glass, around 30,000 for semi-automated lines and around 50,000 for fully automated machine lines.
Hand-tooled glass samples take around 35 to 45 days; mass production takes around 60 to 90 days once production tooling is ready. To keep sampling fast, samples and tooling are made in China and the tooling is then moved to Vietnam for production.
Yes. We start from your direction, sketch or target retail price, develop 2D drawings, CAD and 3D models, make 3D-printed prototypes when needed, then move to tooling and production samples for your approval.
Send us the category, the retail price you want to hit and the timing. We will come back with directions, an origin and what it takes to get there.
