FAQ
Are bottle matches safe to ship?
Yes. Matches are safety-formulated and packed with the striking surface isolated; vessels are grid-packed for sea and air freight.
Can we supply our own bottles or jars?
Yes — send us the empty vessels, or let us source them. We fill, label and pack either way.
Do the matches strike on the glass?
The striking strip is applied to the vessel or supplied as a separate strip — never bare glass, per safety standards.
