Product description

The wooden wick represents a natural and visually attractive solution for the production of candles in jars, pots or other containers. Thanks to its stable burning and characteristic gentle crackling, it is suitable for creating atmospheric indoor candles, where not only functionality but also aesthetics and user comfort are important. The design of the wick supports even burning of the wax and minimisation of smoking when the wax and container size are correctly chosen.

Possible uses

Production of decorative candles in glass vials, jars and pots
Soy, rapeseed, coconut and other natural waxes intended for container candles
Paraffin candles in jars and various types of containers
Aromatic candles with fragrances and essential oils suitable for candles
Design candles in recycled packaging (small glasses, glass vials, jars)

Packaging advantages

Stable and even burning – the wooden wick creates a compact flame that supports even melting of the wax in the container and reduces the risk of tunnelling.
Natural material – wood looks natural and aesthetic, highlighting the artisanal character of handmade candles.
Acoustic effect – the typical gentle crackling of the wooden wick during burning enhances the experience of using the candle and completes the atmosphere.
Easy integration into containers – suitable for use in various types of glasses, vials or jars intended for candles when the wick is correctly fixed.
Visually attractive flame – the shape and character of the burning are popular with premium and gift candles.

Combining with closures and dispensers

When producing candles in containers, it is necessary to choose a suitable vial, jar or pot with a sufficient diameter and heat resistance. Wooden wicks are usually used without closures during burning, but the packaging can be supplemented with a lid to protect the candle during storage and transport. The combinations of packaging and closures that are created directly on Handymade are tested and functional. However, for all combinations we always recommend carrying out your own compatibility test (sealing, behaviour of the packaging during burning and in contact with the wax and fragrance used).

All technical parameters of the packaging are given in the attached Packaging Quality Certificate and in the product parameters.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the correct size of wooden wick for my candle container?

When choosing a wooden wick, the diameter of the container and the type of wax are important. As a guideline, wider containers and more viscous waxes require a more powerful wick. We recommend starting with trial production of a candle in the selected packaging and carrying out a burn test down to the bottom of the container in order to check the width of the melt pool, the flame height and the stability of the burning. Whenever you change the wax or the concentration of the fragrance, always perform a new test.

How should I correctly fix the wooden wick into a glass or other container?

It is advisable to fix the wooden wick using a metal or special base designed for wooden wicks, or using a heat-resistant adhesive pad. Attach the base firmly to the bottom of the container so that the wick stands upright and does not move during wax pouring. It is recommended to pour the wax at the temperature recommended by the wax manufacturer and to allow the candle to cure in a calm environment without vibrations.

Is the wooden wick suitable for all types of waxes and fragrance blends?

Wooden wicks can be used with several types of waxes, such as soy, vegetable or paraffin waxes, as well as with fragrances intended for candles. However, every combination of wax, fragrance, colourant and container size affects the burning. Therefore, we recommend carrying out a series of burn tests for every new candle recipe, during which you monitor the flame stability, complete melting of the wax and any smoking.

Can I reuse the packaging in which I use the wooden wick for additional candles?

Packaging such as a glass jar, vial or jar used for candles can be reused after the candle has completely burned down, provided it is not damaged and basic hygiene principles are observed. First remove any wax residues mechanically and clean the packaging. Before pouring in new wax, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the container and disinfecting it with a suitable product, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, such as the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol and Ethanol 96 % denatured vegetal. If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend sorting it into the appropriate separate collection according to the type of material, in accordance with local recycling rules.

You offer many types of packaging – how can I find the right one for my product?

To quickly find suitable packaging for candles or other products, we recommend using the advanced filter, which is available at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the advanced filter you can combine several criteria, such as neck type, size, colour and packaging material. This makes it easy to find vials, jars or pots that will suit both your formulation and the design of the final product.
