To select the right packaging, you can use the advanced filter, which you will find in the upper part of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the advanced filter you can conveniently set parameters such as neck, size, colour or material and thus display only those bottles, jars, pots or containers that are suitable for your specific product or for the planned candles with a wooden wick.

The wooden wick is usually intended for single use in one candle, but the container itself (glass jar or pot) can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before pouring in new wax, the container must be thoroughly cleaned of wax residues and impurities and then cleaned and disinfected. For disinfection, we recommend using isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, for example the products IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured vegetable. This will ensure that the container is prepared for safe reuse.

When choosing a candle container, its inner diameter, stability and heat resistance are important. The width of the wooden wick should be appropriate to the diameter of the container so that the wax burns evenly and tunnelling or excessive overheating of the edges does not occur. We recommend testing the burning in the selected bottle, jar or pot on a smaller test batch. A stable container with a flat bottom that is intended for candles or can withstand long-term heat exposure is suitable.

When testing, first fill the selected container with wax according to your formula and let the candle cool down and cure completely. Then light the candle and observe the behaviour of the flame, the formation of the melt pool, smoking and the burning rate. Test in several cycles of burning and extinguishing to verify whether the wick works properly throughout the entire life of the candle. If necessary, adjust the wick length, wax type or container diameter until you achieve the optimal result.

If you decide not to reuse the container after the candle has burned down, we recommend recycling it according to the type of material specified in the parameters of the specific packaging on the website. First remove the wax and wick residues, clean the container mechanically and then sort it into the appropriate collection container (for example glass, metal or another material according to the packaging marking). The recycling rules and the recommended sorting method are based on the material composition given with the product in order to ensure environmentally responsible handling of packaging materials.
