SUSTAINERS

Wicks Unlimited manufactures and supplies 25 distinct varieties of metal wick sustainers (also known as wick tabs or wick clips). Designed to securely anchor candle wicks at the base of any container, our high-quality sustainers empower candle makers to quickly create custom tabbed wicks directly from waxed wick reels, significantly streamlining your candle production process.

A Wick Clip for Every Candle Type

Whether you are scaling up your container candle manufacturing or working with unique materials, our versatile lineup keeps your wicks secure.

Choose from our specialized designs:

Standard Neck Sustainers: Provide a reliable, everyday hold for traditional candle lines.

Safety-Neck Designs: Engineered to extinguish the flame sooner, helping to reduce heat at the bottom-of-the container. 

Self-Centering Wick Tabs: Keep wicks perfectly aligned to ensure a consistent, even candle burn.

Wood Wick Clips: Specifically designed for the steady and secure placement of wooden wicks.

Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Materials

Crafted from premium .010” (0.254 mm) tin-coated steel, our candle wick sustainers are built to inhibit corrosion caused by heavy fragrances and essential oils. This guarantees long-term structural integrity, even in the most demanding candle applications.

Available Specifications:

Base Diameters: 15 mm and 20 mm bases to fit a variety of jar sizes.

Neck Lengths: Available in 3.8 mm, 6 mm, 10 mm, and extended lengths to meet your specific manufacturing needs
