2 oz Candle Tin
Choose a Variant

Candle tins are a great alternative (or complement) to traditional glass candle containers. Ours have a really nice finish and include snug fitting lids. The 2 oz size is great for free samples or as an inexpensive starter candle to get people hooked on your fragrances! Also available in 4 oz, 6 oz, and 8 oz tins.

CandleScience tins are made from steel and are safe and easy to use, thanks to:

  • Raised Safety Feet that keep surfaces cool, and candle burners happy!
Protective Varnish Coating

Our candle tins have a varnish coating on the inside of the tin to help protect the metal from discoloring. Keep in mind that aroma components like citrus oils, cinnamon oil, and vanillin in fragrance oils can still cause the color of the tin to shift, particularly at higher fragrances loads.

Wicks do not stick

I have had this experience with all sizes of this tin. I have a really hard time getting these to stick. I really want to use them as samples, but my wicks come unstuck as soon as I pour no matter how clean the container is.

great for what i needed

These tins are cute and can be dressed up with a label. I purchased them for candles to include in orders as a free gift. After letting them cure for 2 weeks, I unfortunately experienced some sort of reaction that caused a rusty looking ring around the top of the candles. Idk if the fragrance was no good or what (used CS discontinued candied apple fragrance) but I was pretty bummed to loose product. But overall the tins are nice looking, They may work well with other fragrances

Gold!

These tins are super high quality. I have used them for smaller, custom orders where the customer wants silver. I buy from another vendor for my main tins because I use gold - please add a gold option! I would prefer these tins as they are higher quality. 🙏

WILL BYRN THROUGH WOOD AND SPFT SURFACES!

I bought these for my business thinking they would be nice little trial sizes for my customers. They are cute and have a nice build to them so I thought "these are perfect!" However I figured that I would test one before I started selling them, and it's a good thing I did! It burned right into my wood coffee table. I used the LX 12 Wick that was recommended and the wick was trimmed. There was still wax in the candle as well. I wouldn't trust these as candles. This is an EXTREME FIRE HAZARD! I would have attached photos but the option wasn't given to me.

Ok

I like the container. They are cute. I used CD4 as recommended by CS wick guide, it was burning ok, not tunneling, full melting, clean burning, but the flame was very small. Need to try CD6 but of course wicks are all out of stock and hope CS bring back sample pack that they used to carry. I honestly don’t want to buy bulk especially when i need to test new containers and new wick. 12pk is fine but I know CS used to sell variety pack—CD wicks includes all different sizes wick. Hope CS consider to bring this back to makers save money and save the planet. Not sure what I’m gonna do with all wicks and I don’t need.

Avery Round Labels

Do you suggest using their 1.5" round or a 2"? Quick custom order, I don't have time to test. Thank you.

Nice Idea but has issues

I really liked the idea of these tins since several of my customers were looking for small samples of my scents. Several of these tins arrived with dents in them. One shipping box was damaged on the side so those were understandable. However, even some of the tins in the 'good' shipping box also had dents, these are not very strong. The other issue I had was that my wax turned brown on the sides with some of my scents. I admit there was a warning by Candlescience about this on the product page but I was hoping it wouldn't happen. Unfortunately, I don't think I would be ordering these again unless these two issues are resolved.

Great tins!

My only complaint is that they can get dings in them easily, but they're perfect for my line of mini candles!

Perfect

Love these containers. They're adorable and such a great way to get customers to make a small purchase and sample product. Would be great if they could come in gold, frosted gold, or even rose gold.

Can anyone recommend a better wick for these? CS wick guide suggests ECO1 but those are only 1" tall and I don't want to have to leave a third of my jar empty on these. I also don't want to wind up with too large of a wick in such a small tin.
I'm using IGI 6006.
