Candles: Wick Size and Type Recommendations

Choosing the right wick is essential for a candle that burns well. The diameter of the jar, the type of wax, and the composition of your recipe all influence which wick will give the best results.

With our wick guide, you can quickly find the right wick for your candle. Simply select the type of wax and the diameter of your jar or candle, and the tool will recommend the most suitable wick size. In some cases, multiple wick options will be displayed, so you can test which wick works best for your specific combination of wax, fragrance, and dye.

The results are based on general test data and guidelines. Since every candle formula is different, we always recommend that you conduct your own burn tests before selling a product or producing it on a larger scale.

Use the Wick Guide as a starting point and save time finding the right wick for your next candle project.
