About Wicks Unlimited
Wicks Unlimited manufactures and supplies candle combustion components for production-scale candle makers. Since 2000, we have supplied waxed wick on reels, wick-clip assemblies, sustainers, candle tooling, and specialized hot melt adhesives from our Pompano Beach, Florida facility, backed by an ISO 9001:2015 Certified QMS and in-house technical services.
Our purpose is straightforward. We enable candle makers to achieve safe, consistent combustion at scale, delivering manufacturing precision and technical support that optimizes performance across wax types, fragrance loads, and vessels.
Streamlined ordering and reliable fulfillment support manufacturers worldwide, from established production lines to brands moving from hand assembly into automated cut, tab, and glue operations.
What We Manufacture and Supply
Every component we make supports one outcome: a candle that burns the way it was designed to, run after run.
- Waxed wick on reels, up to 3,000 yards per reel, produced with a proprietary waxing process that saturates the wick to its core for more uniform, predictable burning
- Wick-clip assemblies manufactured to your exact wick length and sustainer specification, with puncturing and non-puncturing crimp options
- Sustainers in multiple base sizes and neck lengths, made from tin-coated steel for corrosion resistance
- Over 400 wick options spanning cored, flat braided, square braided, bamboo, and organic constructions, including Atkins & Pearce, São Vitor, Wedo, and Monterosa Zelandi lines
- Candle tooling systems and specialized hot melt adhesives
Make & Hold Program participants receive guaranteed same or next day shipping on their most critical waxed wick on reel and wick-clip assembly requirements.
Quality Is a System, Not a Slogan
Our quality management system is an ISO 9001:2015 Certified QMS, supporting consistent output, traceability, and repeatable results across every production run.
Behind that system are our candle lab technicians and customer service team, who work directly with manufacturers to keep results consistent from one production run to the next.
We Work the Full Combustion Picture
What sets Wicks Unlimited apart is that we do not stop at supplying a component. Our team works directly with manufacturers to reduce trial-and-error, solve burn issues, and narrow wick selection to the options that meet your burn objectives, so you can launch confidently and produce efficiently.
Wick performance still has to be validated through burn testing in your own system. No wick is universal, and wax type, fragrance load, vessel geometry, dye, and additives all affect the result. Our technical services team helps you narrow the field faster, including confidential preliminary wick optimizations and combustion troubleshooting.
