Extra Matchsticks Included

We include extra matchsticks in our loose match bundles to help account for natural variation, imperfect sticks, or minor breakage during packing and shipping.

Because matchsticks are small natural wood products, slight imperfections can occur. The extra pieces are added so you still receive the quantity you ordered with confidence.

How to Use Loose Safety Matches

Strike the match head firmly against a compatible safety-match striker surface. Hold the match away from your body and allow the flame to stabilize before lighting your candle or other item.

Striker Required

These are safety matches and require a compatible safety-match striker surface. Striker sheets and stickers are sold separately unless otherwise stated.

Storage and Safety

  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep away from moisture, heat, and open flames.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Extinguish completely after use.

Natural Variations

Because the matchsticks are made from natural wood, slight variations in color, texture, straightness, and match-head shape may occur.

Matchstick Colors & Tip Styles

Choose from a wide range of matchstick colors and tip styles, including white, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, mixed colors, and specialty options depending on availability.
