Don't know how to explain this succinctly, a client we are in the middle of designing packaging for their candles and a subscription box needs custom concrete candle holders.
I'm google bombing my heart out to find a vendor that can produce a branded mold that would create an embossed logo in the form. At this point i'm not sure if i am using the right jargon to search because i haven't found anything except molds for the actual candle.
Any leads on this would be amazing!

China.
Alibaba, et al?
.
if you're DIYing it (I assume you're not) you could contact local CNC companies who work with metal and get them to make a mould for you.
As it happens, I'm playing around with such things myself at the moment, with a long-term eye to outsourcing, to which I'd assumed 'China' (sadly). if you're still looking in 6 months, bump this thread :)
- I've just done a basic google search for 'silicone moulding services' and found a few here in Blighty. Finding a service on Alibaba is proving a little trickierdetritus

not hard to find this one: http://www.makeyourownmolds.com/…
You 3D print that logo and BAM 10 minutes later you got a silicone mold. If that is TOO hard then have a look at http://professional.silikomart.c…
to see if they already have something similar ..
