Introduction
Wickbond provides contract candle pouring services for brands that already control formulation, fragrance, and packaging — and require disciplined execution at scale.
This service is designed for programs where specifications are finalized, approvals are complete, and production must be repeated with controlled variance across multiple runs.
Definition
What Contract Pouring Means at Wickbond
Contract pouring is a manufacturing-only engagement. Your specifications govern production.
You Supply
- Approved wax system
- Approved fragrance oil or load specification
- Approved vessel and wick specification
- Approved packaging components (where applicable)
We Provide
- Controlled production environments
- Repeatable pour execution
- Batch-level quality controls
- Scalable output aligned to your schedule
Context
The Problem Contract Pouring Solves
Many brands outgrow in-house pouring before they outgrow responsibility. As volume increases, internal teams encounter execution failures:
- Inconsistent fill weights
- Surface defects at higher speeds
- Wick drift during production
- Fragrance variance across batches
- Labor instability during peak demand
Formats
Pouring Formats We Execute
Container Candle Pouring
High-volume pouring for glass, ceramic, concrete, metal, and custom vessels. Single-wick and multi-wick formats with controlled fill weight and consistent surface presentation.
Primary FormatMulti-Wick Pouring
3-wick and 5-wick configurations with balanced wax distribution. Melt pool symmetry and wick alignment maintained through controlled pour sequencing.
Extended CyclePillar & Freestanding
Mold-based pouring with validated cooling cycles. Dimensional stability across bulk runs. Surface finish consistent from first unit to last.
Structural ControlVotives & Tealights
High-speed, high-volume execution for replenishment-driven programs. Dimensional precision and weight consistency monitored throughout production.
