Product Information
Full details
The Paddywax Slender Boxed Matches are designed for candle enthusiasts and holiday decorators who value both functionality and aesthetic appeal. These extra-long safety matches provide an elegant solution for lighting deep candle jars, fireplaces, and lanterns without the risk of burning fingers. While they serve as a beautiful accent piece for your home, users should note that the limited count of 45 matches per box means they are better suited for occasional use or display rather than high-volume utility tasks.

FAQs
How many matches are included in each box?
Each box contains 45 extra-long safety matches.
Are these matches refillable?
No, these boxes are designed as a single-use decorative accessory and cannot be refilled once the matches are exhausted.
Can I use these to light a wood-burning fireplace?
Yes, the extra length makes them ideal for reaching into fireplace grates or lighting fire starters.
What is the best way to store these during the off-season?
Store in a dry, room-temperature environment inside a drawer or cabinet to keep the paper box looking fresh for the following year.
Are the match tips non-toxic?
While the matches are standard safety matches, they should always be kept out of reach of children and pets and never ingested.
Troubleshooting
Match fails to ignite when struck
Ensure the match is struck firmly and quickly across the designated strike panel. If the strike panel is damp, allow the box to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Strike strip appears worn out
Rotate to the second strike panel located on the other side of the box to continue using the matches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Paddywax Slender Boxed Matches requires no complex setup; simply slide open the drawer-style tray to access the contents. To maintain the integrity of the product, keep the box in a cool, dry place away from open flames or high humidity, which can dampen the strike strip or match heads. If you find the strike strips becoming less effective over time, ensure the surface is kept free of dust and debris. These matches are compatible with standard striking surfaces, but always strike the match away from your body and ensure it is fully extinguished before disposal.
