*Dee* Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Do you use just tins? Just jars? Both? Before I get into testing jars too much I am really considering the tins. But I think a lot of ppl still like the jars for the appearance while burning. So I am thinking maybe 6 oz tins and 8 or 10 oz jars. What size tins seem to sell best for those who sell more than one size? I really dont want 16 oz jars, last time I made candles those barely sold at all. but I am thinking 6 and 8 oz are just too similiar in sizes. I am 100% open to suggestions/advice. It's been over 2 years since I've made candles so I dont know what is more popular now and in what sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 That's a tough question. In my market, I used to sell 8 oz tins probably 20 to 1 over glass. I made 8 oz masons just to have glass for those who wanted it. Then about 4 years ago, people almost immediately switched to 8 oz masons. I rarely sell tins these days. There seemed to be no reason or explanation.Truthfully, most of my sales now are wickless in 6 oz tureens.All three of the above mentioned are the same price; i.e., $8.00. I, too, have never been able to move anything over 8 oz, or anything in seasonal or fancy jars. Breaks my heart because I adore unusual containers.

Guest OldGlory Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 My wholesale clients want both tins and jars. 8 oz tins, 8 oz jars, and 16 oz jars. Sales of tins are higher overall than jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
