Simple in design, yet overflowing with style, our clear glass hexagon candle jars include metal lug caps and are available in a wide range of sizes. Fill these hex jars with your aromatic candle wax and use them as a great addition to an entire line of soothing products. Other glass candle jar styles include tall clear glass paragon jars, blue glass jars, and square glass jars.

Our line of metal tins could be ideal for your candle creations. Our gold and silver metal tins are available in many sizes making them the perfect packaging solution for full-size and travel-size candles alike! Choose from flat or deep silver metal tins with slip cover lids, round or square metal tins with clear top lids, and screw top metal tins.

The 6 oz footed metal candle tins are designed especially for use as candle containers. These candle tins have three raised feet on each base, raising the container 1 mm off of a flat surface leaving room for airflow. The added airflow keeps the base of the tin cool while the wax heats up.

Available with a variety of closure options from screw on caps with orifice reducers to black bulb glass dropper caps, these glass bottles will you to dispense and store your oils with ease.

Packaging Tip

Candle Crafting

When considering what type of container to use you should pay close attention to your product’s ingredients, end use, and the method in which the container is filled. In particular, when making candles, you should consider the required fill temperature and determine whether or not the container can handle the heat. You should also choose a jar or tin that will be able to withstand an open flame when the product is in use. Glass jars and metal tins are good options, however you should always test your product with the container for compatibility.
