16 oz Candle Jars
The 16 oz candle jar is the largest standard size in DOLYPACK’s candle-jar lineup, built in aluminum or tinplate for double- and triple-wick pours. It is sold wholesale as an empty OEM/ODM package rather than a fixed retail design.

Built for Double & Triple-Wick Candles
A 16 oz fill needs a wider vessel to give two or three wicks room to burn evenly, and that width is exactly where a metal jar holds its shape better than thin glass.
Whether you finish with a screw-lid, click-lid, or slip-lid, 16 oz candle jars with lids in aluminum keep their seal through the wider wax pool a double- or triple-wick pour demands. If a straight jar profile is not the look you want, candle tin jars open up the same capacity in slip-lid and click-lid shapes instead.
Aluminum & Tinplate Construction — Why Metal at This Size
Metal jar
An aluminum or tinplate jar at 16 oz ships lighter and does not shatter in transit — the main reason metal candle jars show up in bulk runs that glass suppliers do not serve.
VS
Glass
Glass gets heavier and more breakage-prone as capacity climbs, and 16 oz is close to where that trade-off starts to matter on a pallet.
That is a logistics argument, not a performance promise — how a triple wick actually burns still comes down to your wax and fragrance load.

Custom Branding — Embossing, Printing & Finishes
16 oz jars take the same decoration options as the rest of DOLYPACK’s aluminum line: matched-die embossing or debossing for a raised or recessed logo, plus label/screen printing, laser marking, and full-color printing when fine detail does not emboss cleanly.
Finish choices include matte, glossy, frosted, metallic, anodized, and lacquered surfaces. These can be combined with any printing method for custom candle jars that read as luxury candle jars on shelf.
FAQ
How big is a 16 ounce candle?
16 oz is a fill-weight figure, not the jar’s brim-to-brim volume — expect the jar itself to hold slightly more to its overflow line, with wax poured to a marked fill line below the rim.
Where is the best place to buy candle jars?
For a one-off or small retail batch, a candle-supply retailer works fine. For a branded, multi-thousand-unit run in metal instead of glass, a direct factory relationship with OEM/ODM tooling is the better source.
What sizes do candle jars come in?
Dolypack’s candle-jar range runs from 1 oz travel tins up through 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz, all sharing the same lid and finish options so a multi-SKU line stays consistent.

If 16 oz is bigger than your line needs, the same jar family scales down to 8 oz candle options and 4 oz candle jars, and as small as 1 oz metal tins for samplers and travel sizes. The same tooling platform also runs outside candles. Metal cosmetic jars, beard cream jars, and aluminum clay mask jars share lid and finish options with this jar, useful if your brand sells a candle alongside a balm or mask. Massage candle jars use this exact size for dual-purpose wax.
