When selecting a wooden wick, it is important to take into account the internal diameter of the bottle, tin or jar and the type of wax you are using. We recommend always making a test candle in the specific container and monitoring the flame behaviour – whether it burns stably, does not smoulder and whether it melts the wax evenly all the way to the edges. For wider containers it may be necessary to use more than one wick or a different width and thickness of wooden wick so that burning is safe and efficient.

Wooden wicks are generally suitable for most natural and blended waxes, such as soy, rapeseed, coconut or combined waxes. However, each wax blend burns a little differently, so it is necessary to test the selected wick in the specific wax and in the bottle or tin you plan to use. Test burns will help you set the optimal wick length, wax type and, if necessary, also the packaging size so that the result is stable and safe.

Yes, you can appropriately shorten the wooden wick according to the height of the container, bottle or jar in which you are pouring the candle. It is recommended to leave sufficient length above the wax surface so that lighting is convenient and the flame is stable. With each subsequent lighting it is advisable to gently trim or break off the burnt part of the wick, which supports clean burning and minimises smoking.

You can reuse the container, bottle or tin after the candle has completely burned out for further candle production or for other purposes, provided that hygiene principles are followed. Before refilling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned of wax and wick residues and then disinfected with a suitable agent, for example using isopropyl alcohol IPA 99 % or plant-based ethanol Ethanol 96 %. Only after cleaning and disinfection is the container ready for safe reuse.

If you decide not to continue using the container, bottle or jar after the candle has burned out, we recommend recycling it according to the type of material listed in the product parameters. Glass packaging, after removal of wax and wick residues, should be placed in a container designated for glass; plastic or metal parts must be sorted according to the relevant material. Always follow the recycling symbols and recommendations for the specific packaging so that the process is environmentally friendly.

To choose a suitable bottle, tin or jar, you can use the advanced filter, which is located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the advanced filter you can conveniently select the neck type, size, colour and packaging material and thus narrow the offer down to the options that best suit your candle or cosmetic formulation. In this way you will quickly find packaging that is compatible with the wooden wick and with your brand design.
