Cardboard Safety Matches Manufacturer
Geewin Matches manufactures and supplies cardboard safety matches to a region long known as the home of India’s match-making industry. We produce safety matches across multiple box sizes, splint specifications, packing formats, and match head colours, with full customisation available to match the exact requirements.
Cardboard Safety Matches, Built for Wholesale and Export Supply
Cardboard safety matches remain one of the most widely sourced formats for bulk and export buyers, valued for their light weight, cost efficiency, and ease of container loading compared to wooden matches. As a cardboard safety matches manufacturer based in Sivakasi, Geewin Matches supplies this format to match wholesalers, distributors, importers and exporters, private-label matchbox buyers, retailers and supermarkets, and hotels, restaurants, and catering businesses across India and international markets.
Every order is manufactured according to the box size, splint type, stick count, and packing format specified by the buyer, which means the same core product can be configured differently depending on whether it is going to a retail shelf, a private-label distributor, or a container-load export order.

Find Answers to Your Questions
Find clear answers to the most common questions about safety matches, bulk orders, manufacturing, and export services. Explore helpful information to make confident purchasing decisions and choose the right safety match products for your business.
What box sizes are available for cardboard safety matches?
Geewin Matches offers nine standard cardboard matchbox sizes, ranging from 45 × 31 × 14 mm to 51 × 35 × 15 mm, each with a corresponding load ability per 40HC container, as set out in the box size table above.
What is the difference between carbonized and non-carbonized splints?
Carbonized splints are treated so the burnt matchstick tip stays intact rather than crumbling, which is often preferred for a cleaner after-use appearance. Non-carbonized splints are a more cost-effective option and are widely used for high-volume bulk orders.
Can match head colour and splint quality be customised?
Yes. Match head colour can be selected from black, brown, red, blue, green, or yellow, and splint quality can be chosen between imported Poplar and Indian Malabarica, based on the buyer’s requirement.
What packing formats do you offer for bulk and export orders?
We offer 10s packing in PVC, BOPP, or printed paper; 100s packing in shrink wrap or polybag; and 1000s packing in 3-ply colour printed cartons or brown kraft cartons for container and export shipment. Custom packaging is available on request.
Do you offer private-label packaging for matchboxes?
Yes. Box size, splint specification, match head colour, and packaging can all be configured to suit private-label and bulk buyers, and custom packaging is available according to client requirements.
How do box size and load ability affect a container order?
Smaller box sizes generally allow a higher number of cartons per 40HC container, which can improve shipping economics for bulk and export orders. The box size table above sets out load ability for each available size, to help buyers plan accordingly.
Can I request a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. For bulk, export, and private-label orders, a sample can be arranged in your chosen box size, splint type, and packing format, so you can verify the specification before confirming a larger order.
Can cardboard safety matches be customized with private labels?
Yes. Geewin Matches offers private labeling, custom box sizes, branded packaging, and OEM manufacturing to match your business and branding requirements.
