Candle Cores

Make your container-fill candle production faster, effortless, and more cost effective by using Hayes & Finch candle cores!

Hayes & Finch candle cores are designed to facilitate the manufacture of container-fill candles. A core, in its simplest form, is a cylindrical block of wax with a central aperture, through which candle wick can be fed.

All sizes are readily available in white and ivory paraffin wax; specific colours can be supplied by request (minimum quantities apply). The purpose of the core is twofold:

Firstly – It assists in stabilising the position of the wick during the pouring or filling process of container-fill candles.

Secondly – It reduces the quantity of expensive coloured and perfumed waxes required within the given container, thus ultimately reducing production costs.

Single cores are available in a variety of lengths and diameters (see chart for details). If additional
height is required, cores can be stacked on top of each other, as pictured right.

Candle cores can be used with Hayes & Finch candle wicks. Careful matching of wick to the specifications of the given candle, will ensure consistent, smooth, clean burning of the finished product.

Cores and candle wick can be purchased as separate items, or you may wish to take advantage of our wicking service, whereby your specified wick is inserted into your required core (charges apply for this service).
