Candle Wicks & Wicking

Candle Wicks & Wicking

Wick Selection can be confusing and overwhelming at first. Choose the wick type of you need according to the wax you are using and type of candle you are making. 

Click here for our complete Wick Usage Chart by wax type.

 

How to Purchase Wicks
All of our wicking is available raw (plain or uncoated), primed (wax-coated), and pre-tabbed in stock sizes or custom assemblies. We have organized our wick selection by wick type, which should match the wax, soy, or gel product you are using. Unfortunately, there is no wick that is good for every application, so you will need different wick sizes for different candle sizes and types.

Choose your wick type

Please read through our product descriptions and usage charts for guidelines. Each wick description will provide recommendations for wax types and candle sizes as a basic guideline for your selection.

 
Determine which packaging method is best for you. Our wicks are packaged in the following ways: 
Machine Primed - available on a 100 ft. or 500 foot spool. Wicking is machine-primed with a high-melting-point wax for a more even, stable burn. Wick tabs can also be attached easily. Great for candle makers who make all different sizes of candles who prefer to cut their own lengths and trim their own wicks.
Raw
 - plain with no wax coating on a 100 ft. or 500 ft. spool. Perfect for the candle maker who prefers to prime their own wick or make their candles with an unprimed wick.
Pre-tabbed Wick Assemblies
 - Primed, cut, and tabbed for the ultimate in convenience. Our pre-tabbed, primed wicks are incredibly convenient and fast. A must for any candle maker! Just attach your wick to the bottom of your jar and pour your wax.
Custom Wicks - Custom pre-tabbed wick assemblies are also available and are a great option for candle makers who need a special-size
 wick that is not available in our stock wick configurations. The minimum order for custom wicks is 1,000 pieces per size and style.

**** About Our Wick Charts ****
The wick charts provided on the following pages are intended to be used as a general guideline and do not replace your own test burning! All of our candle size and wax pool testing was done with a 141mp paraffin with no scent or color. Adding scent and color to your wax will affect how the candle burns. The “wax pool” is the diameter of the melted wax after the wick burned 2 hours.
