Moonstar Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Ive never seen them. If you bought them from a retailer Im sure that they are custom. Burts bees wax melts are also in cool hexagon shapes which are for sure custom to go with the beeswax theme. So, where did you find these at ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshine Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There is a company out there that does custom shapes but I can't remember the name right now I had thought about it before but never did it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There is a site in the UK that sells them, but the shipping is cost prohibitive. https://www.scentperfique.com/product-category/candle-making-supplies/wax-melt-clamshell-packaging/ Goldie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Impact has the good clams that don't stink like plastic someone on here did a co-op awhile back because the minimums are huge when I get time I will look into it because someone does custom designs for them I may have bookmarked it when I was looking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I think Impact used to do custom but not so sure they still do. I need to order clams, kills me to do 2 full cases but it's so much cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it would be worth it for a special occasion like a bridal shower or wedding but not for everyday melts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justajesuschick Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have not been to Walmart in years. We had a new one just open near us and my husband wanted to go to "just check it out". I took a break from wax tonight to go there with him. Walked by the Melts section and saw these. Took some pics. They are a Mass Channel brand of Yankee. May be exclusive to Walmart. I do not know. Every one I opened had broken wax. Cracked or literally loose wax pieces when I opened them. The cylinders were fine, it was the connecting piece someone did not test well. Those were the pieces broken. Anyway, thought I would add these pics to this thread on custom clamshells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost is $140. plus shipping to me and shipping to you. I haven't seen my UPS bill yet to see what my shipping was but I'm in CA and so is Impact so usually not too bad.
