How to read these numbers

What is ash content?
Ash content is the percentage of mineral residue left after combustion. Lower ash means a cleaner burn, less debris on the bowl and less odour; coconut shell briquettes typically run 1.6%-2.8% by mass. Detail at /quality/specifications-explained#ash.
Why does fixed carbon matter?
Fixed carbon is the share of pure carbon left after volatile matter and moisture have burned off. Higher fixed carbon means a longer, hotter burn at lower ash. Our Platinum grade hits ≥ 82% fixed carbon.
How long does Platinum grade burn?
Platinum grade burns 2.5+ hours per cube on a standard shisha bowl at a peak surface temperature near 680 °C. Premium and Super Premium burn 2+ hours per cube.

Common questions about OEM

Do you accept AI/PDF artwork?
Yes. Send us print-ready Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or PDF files at the dieline dimensions we share. We accept CMYK at 300 dpi with bleed; if you have InDesign or Photoshop sources we can usually open those too.
What is the print proof time?
We turn around a packaging proof within 7 working days of receiving final artwork. The proof is a physical printed sample on the actual board stock; you sign it off before the production run.
Minimum order to start a private label?
18 tons (one 20ft container) FOB Semarang. The 18-ton minimum is a single 20-ft FCL — you can mix shapes and grades inside one container, but we do not split containers across buyers.
