Containers for candles

Which container should I choose for candle making?

It depends on the type of candle you want to make. For scented or everyday candles, glass jars are the most common choice. For a decorative finish, you can go for coloured or specially shaped containers.

What container size is best?

The most common sizes are between 200 ml and 300 ml, as they offer a good balance between burn time and ease of use. Smaller sizes and production packs are also available.

Are candle containers heat resistant?

Yes, they are designed to withstand high temperatures and ensure a safe burn. It is important to use containers made for candles rather than any kind of glass.

Can candle containers be reused?

Yes, many containers can be reused if they are cleaned properly, which makes them a practical choice for personal use and sustainable projects alike.

Can I buy candle containers wholesale?

Yes, there are packs and sizes designed for bulk purchases, ideal for workshops, brands or ongoing production.

How do I choose the wick for my container?

The wick depends on the diameter of the container. The wider the container, the thicker the wick needs to be to avoid tunnelling and ensure an even burn.
