Our Traveler Tin candles are forged from a single sheet of stamped tin, and are what we might call champions of sustainability. With a passport for infinite recycling, they make their round trips without a trace of virgin materials or the carbon-heavy baggage that comes from mining and processing fresh material.
Packaging
We are always changing and evolving how our packaging for shipping can better suit the environment. If you have any suggestions on improvement, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Listed below are a few things we often include in all of our shipment packagings, from consumer to wholesale orders:
- Recycled and recyclable boxes
- Biodegradable and compostable corn starch packing peanuts and pads.
While these nifty peanuts are water-soluble, attempting to dissolve them in your sink could turn into a riveting performance of 'Water Wastage: The Musical'. We've got a cunning plan to spare both your conscience and your water bill. Why not introduce these peanuts to your loo's grand swirl? With every flush, add a handful. That way, they hitch a ride with water that was already destined for the aquatic beyond, bidding adieu without causing any unnecessary drain on your resources.
- 100% recycled and recyclable kraft void paper.
-100% post-consumer recycled paper air cushions that are recyclable, compostable, and feature a potato starch based adhesive.
- 50% post-consumer recycled bubble wrap and/or bubble wrap that is reused from previous shipments (we try not to purchase brand new bubble wrap unless it is made from recycled materials).
-On average, at least 50% of our void fill packaging (peanuts, bubblewrap, etc) is recycled from orders placed with our suppliers. If you place multiple orders with us, the void packaging is often different. Consistent? Not really. Earth friendly? Absolutely.

How to use a Refill Candle?
1. Container Specifications: Ensure you use a suitable container to burn this candle. The container should be approximately 2.75 inches in width and 3 inches in height.
2. Candle Size and Container Volume: This candle is approximately 6.5 oz. Ensure that your chosen container has a volume greater than 7 oz.
3. Preferred Containers: Recommended containers include straight-sided glassware, mason jars, cocktail glassware, Light Provisions glassware, or ceramic mugs. These types provide optimal performance.
4. Unsuitable Containers: Do not use bowls or plates for burning Refill candles. Refill candles are designed to collapse into a vessel with walls (such as our glassware).
5. Securing the Candle: If the container’s bottom surface is uneven, causing the candle to tilt, you may soften the bottom of the candle with a brief exposure to a flame to help it adhere to the base. Alternatively, our wax-based Stickum can be used for extra stability.
6. Wick Tabs: Do not remove the metal wick tabs at the bottom of the candle; they are crucial for keeping the wick upright and centered. If you notice the wick tab shifting as the candle burns down, and are concerned about the flame proximity to the glass, Stickum can be applied to secure the wick in place.
7. Burning Maintenance: The wick may develop a 'mushroom' shape after burning, which is normal. Always trim off the mushroomed part before relighting to ensure a cleaner burn. Keep the wick trimmed to about 0.5 inches, which is slightly larger than our standard 0.25 inch recommendation.
8. Clean Out & Reuse: Once done, clean out your vessel by sticking it in the freezer for an hour and popping out frozen wax with a butter knife. Rinse with warm soapy water.
What are some suitable vessels that I can use?
Anything that can hold over 7 oz in liquid volume and at least 2.75 inches wide and 3 inches high. Examples include: mason jars, straight-sided rocks glasses, whiskey glasses, ceramic mugs, glassware or tins from our previous collections, or our signature ripple glass
Just please don't use bowls or plates.

Are Refill candles just pillars?
Nope! We originally set out to make pillars, but during testing, they’d collapse. When we burned them in our glassware, they melted down and burned evenly like a container candle, about 25 hours. Same great wax, easier cleanup, just made to live inside a vessel.
