The wick length should correspond to the height of the cup or container into which you pour the candle, with a small reserve for fixing. It is advisable to first place the wick in the centre of the cup (for example using a holder or an adhesive dot), pour in the wax and, after curing, trim it to the final length of approximately 3–5 mm above the candle surface. We recommend making a test series and, according to the burning behaviour, adjusting the length and position of the wick.

The cotton wick is designed to work with different types of wax blends, such as paraffin, vegetable or blended waxes. However, when changing the type of wax, the concentration of fragrance oils or colorants, the burning may change, so we always recommend first creating a smaller test series of tealight candles and observing the flame behaviour, wax consumption and any smoking.

Finished candles must be used only in cups, jars and containers that are intended for hot contents and withstand thermal stress. Especially suitable are metal and heat-resistant glass cups or quality candle tins. Thin or damaged containers that could crack when heated are unsuitable. Always ensure stable placement of the candle on a non-combustible surface and do not leave it burning unattended.

For easier selection you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. In the clear filter you can select packaging according to neck type, size, colour and material, and thus quickly find the bottle, jar, tin or pharmaceutical bottle that will best suit your specific product or candle project.

Store the wicks in a dry, clean and dust-free environment, protected from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. It is recommended to keep them in the original packaging or in a closable container so that the fibres are not contaminated by dust, fats or ambient aromas, which could affect the candle burning.
