Candle Tins

Candle Tins from Thy Custom Boxes are small metal containers perfect for making and storing your own candles. They come in different sizes and shapes, so you can find the right one for any project. Think of them as little houses for your candles, keeping the wax safe and smelling good until you're ready to light them.

What are Candle Tins?

Candle tins are made of tinplate, which is a thin sheet of steel coated with tin. This makes them strong, resistant to rust, and safe to use with hot wax. They are a much better option compared to using flimsy plastic that can melt or crack. They are usually round, square, or rectangular, but we also offer some unique shapes, like hearts and stars for special occasions. Each tin comes with a lid that fits snugly to keep dust and debris out and to hold the fragrance in when the candle is not in use. This also makes them easier to stack and store without worrying about damaging the candles inside.

Why Use Candle Tins?

There are many reasons to choose candle tins for your candle making. First, they are very durable. Unlike glass jars, they are less likely to break if dropped. This makes them a safe option, especially if you plan to give your candles as gifts or sell them at craft fairs. Second, they are lightweight. This makes them easy to handle during the candle making process and cheaper to ship if you are selling your candles online. Think about the difference in shipping costs between a heavy glass jar and a light metal tin. The savings can really add up! Third, candle tins offer good heat distribution. The metal helps to spread the heat evenly throughout the wax, which can lead to a cleaner, more consistent burn. This means less wasted wax and a longer lasting candle.

Sizes and Shapes Available

Thy Custom Boxes offers a wide variety of candle tin sizes to meet your specific needs. Our smallest tins are perfect for making small votive candles or sample sizes. Our larger tins are great for making bigger, longer lasting candles. We also have tins of different depths, so you can choose the right one based on the amount of wax you want to use. As for shapes, we have the classic round and square tins that are always popular. We also offer rectangular tins, which are good for making candles with multiple wicks. And for special occasions, we have tins in fun shapes like hearts, stars, and even pumpkins for Halloween. Check our website for a full list of available sizes and shapes.

Decorating Your Candle Tins

One of the best things about candle tins is that they are easy to decorate. You can use stickers, labels, paint, or even ribbons to personalize them and make them your own. For a simple look, you can print out labels with your candle's name and scent and stick them on the lid. If you're feeling creative, you can paint the tins with acrylic paint and add designs. You can also wrap ribbons around the tins or tie on charms for a special touch. The possibilities are endless! Think about matching the decorations to the scent of the candle. For example, a lavender scented candle could have a purple ribbon and a picture of lavender flowers on the label.

How to Use Candle Tins

Using candle tins is very easy. First, melt your wax according to the instructions. Second, add your fragrance oil and any desired dyes. Third, attach your wick to the bottom of the tin. You can use a glue dot or a small piece of double sided tape for this. Fourth, carefully pour the melted wax into the tin, making sure to center the wick. Fifth, let the wax cool and harden completely. This may take several hours. Finally, trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting your candle. It's that simple! Remember to always follow safety precautions when working with hot wax.

Cleaning and Reusing Candle Tins

Candle tins are reusable! Once your candle has burned down, you can easily clean out the remaining wax and reuse the tin for another candle or for storage. To clean the tin, you can place it in the freezer for a few hours. Once the wax is frozen, it should pop right out. You can also use a heat gun or a hairdryer to melt the remaining wax and wipe it out with a paper towel. Be careful when using heat to avoid burning yourself. Once the tin is clean and dry, you can use it again and again. This is a great way to save money and reduce waste.
