All candles are Customized and Personalized per your request. Text can vary in script style and color, choice is yours. It is your responsibility to read all text to verify the correctness of spelling. Customized & Personalized candles cannot be accepted for refund. Images are printed on an inkjet printer an embedded on the outside surface of the candle. Color choice for customized and personalized pillar candles and hurricane candles is White or Ivory only. Due to the process we use to customize and personalize our candles, metallic finishes and white/ivory images or text cannot be used.

There is no extra charge for number of characters or lines of text. If you would like to include a photo, there is a 5.00 additional charge for photo work if your photo is in digital format (jpg - jpeg image) and sent in email or if it is a Kodak print, cost is 7.50 which includes the scan upon receipt of your photo. Kodak print needs to be sent via US Mail (Frans Candles, P.O. Box 26037, Collegeville, PA 19426) and will be returned to you with your candle. If the design includes (picture/text) front and back of candle, there is a 2.00 additional charge for the back side of candle.

Digital - Photograph and Image - Tips

If you are using a print photograph, we prefer that you send us the actual print and let us scan it. This insures the highest quality image for your design layout.

If you are scanning, upon receipt of email with scanned image, photo will be inspected for quality. If quality is determined to be less than desirable, we will notify customer ASAP.

If you are using a digital camera image, you can email us the image. We strongly recommend digital images be at least 100 – 200 KB. Images should be sent to us in jpeg (jpg) format.

When sending us a digital image, send us the full, uncompressed, non-resized version.

Resizing a digital photographic file may give you the dimensions that you want but it may not deliver the quality. When resizing digital files in a graphics application (PhotoShop, Photo Deluxe, Picture It, etc.) it is very easy to change the file's dimensions and dpi to new settings. However, doing so may actually degrade the quality of your image. Interpolation is the term used to describe how graphics applications recalculate the pixels that make up an image file and add or subtract pixels to recreate the image at the new size. We recommend leaving digital files at their original size and allowing us to resize the image.

Step #2 Upon receipt of your request we will assemble your design. If there is any question regarding the information you submitted, we will call. The completed design will then be posted on a customer layout web page. A link to the page will be included in my reply email with your quote. Customer needs to click on the link to review the design. Note that there may be several designs on a web page. You may need to scroll down the page to view your design.

Hello
I am looking to have the wedding candle we received at our wedding (23 years ago) re-created as an anniversary gift for my wife. It is a 3" X 9" ivory candle and has our wedding announcement and invitation on it. I have enclosed the invitation and announcement as well as a picture of the original candle (after 23 years!) for you to review. You will see that the candle has sagged and darkened over the years. Also note that there is a glitter in the areas which do not have text and that the decorations on the announcement have been recreated as well. Please let me know if this can be done.
Thanks! (Our anniversary is July 11)
Jim

Here is what we recreated for Jim.

Carol requested a very unique gift candle for her friends Dawn & Bob. The 2 dates are when they were married informally and the second date is the formal Wedding date.

Sean called and asked for us to help design candles for him and Nicole to give to their parents on their Wedding day. They provided the photo and verse in both English and German. We wish many years of happiness to Sean & Nicole.

After receipt of their candles, Sean & Nicole wrote: Nicole and I received the candles that we ordered. They look and smell fantastic. We can't thank you enough for your personal attention to our specific needs. I'm sure these gifts will bring tears to the eyes of our Mom's. Your extremely satisfied customers,
Sean Welburn and Nicole Adler (soon to be Welburn - 11-16-02)
