Stabilo cotton wick without sustainer – size 4 is intended for professional and hobby candle production in various types of containers and packaging – from glass jars and decorative tumblers to design cups or recycled bottles. Thanks to the high-quality cotton fiber, it provides stable, smooth burning and even wax melting, which is ideal when pouring candles into containers of different shapes and diameters.
Adjust the wick length to the height of the container so that after pouring the wax and curing, approximately 5–7 mm remain above the wax surface at the first lighting. For wider containers it is sometimes appropriate to use more wicks to ensure even melting of the wax across the full diameter. We recommend first making test candles in the same type of packaging that you will use in production and, during testing, observing the width of the melted wax pool, smoking and flame height.
The cotton wick is commonly used in candles made from natural waxes such as soy or beeswax and also in candles containing essential and fragrance oils. However, when changing the type of wax or fragrance, we always recommend performing a test in the specific bottle, jar or cup that you plan to use. Pay particular attention to flame behavior, burn rate and the evenness of wax melting in the selected packaging.
The packaging in which the original candle was placed can be reused, provided that hygiene principles are followed, for example for another candle, small cosmetics or decorative purposes. Before refilling, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the container of wax residues and impurities, then wash it with a suitable cleaning agent and disinfect it, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Packaging prepared in this way can be reused more safely for further filling.
If you decide not to reuse the packaging after the candle has burned out, we recommend recycling it according to the material type given in the parameter table for the specific product on the site. Glass containers are usually disposed of in the glass recycling bin after removal of wax residues, plastic packaging in the sorted plastic container according to local rules. Always adapt the exact method of recycling to the material marking and recommendations in your municipality to maximize the material recovery rate.
When selecting a suitable bottle, jar or cup, we recommend using the extended filter in the packaging material categories. The extended filter is located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category and allows you to filter products according to parameters such as neck type, size, color and material. This way you will more quickly find packaging that matches your formulation, product type and the intended dosing method.
