Wholesale Candle Containers

By Terry Hurley

Whether you are in business making candles or enjoy giving them as gifts, buying wholesale candle containers can save you money.

Types of Candle Containers

Sparkling glass jars, whimsical containers and decorative tins are several types of candle containers that are available from wholesale suppliers. Buying these items in bulk is a great way to cut down on the costs of your candle making supplies.

Candle containers come in a variety of shapes, styles and materials. In fact, you can use any type of container that does not leak and is heat safe. Order cute holiday mugs, beautiful floral ceramic pots or decorative fluted ramekins from wholesale novelty and restaurant suppliers to give your candles a unique and personal touch.

Generally, companies that sell wholesale containers for candles base their price on the number of units purchased. The products are sold by the dozen or case. The number of units in a case varies based on each individual item. In some cases, there may be only four units per case and another item may have 36 units per case. Read the product description carefully to make sure you understand what you are buying.
