Poured 150 Scented Candles at the Willis Candle Shop
Our 150 Scented Candle Pour and Preparation at the Willis Candle Shop
150 coconut soy wax scented candles poured this week. This is the before and after, or depending on how it appears, the after and before. It takes 12 work hours to generate 150 non-toxic candles. This includes labeling, wicking, set up, takedown and cleanup. But the work still isn’t done. Wicks still need to be trimmed and the candles need to be smoothed out with a heat gun after 10 days of curing. This is all part of making the best candle options at our discount candle shop. Every batch represents a new opportunity to refine our technique and ensure every candle meets our exacting standards for fragrance and performance. Our team takes pride in making every candle by hand, from the first pour to the final inspection.

Behind the Scenes: What It Takes to Make 150 Handcrafted Candles
Producing 150 non-toxic candles in a single batch may sound like a lot, but at Willis Candle Shop, it’s all in a week’s work. Each candle begins with a hand-wicked vessel, precision-placed to ensure an even burn. Our team works in 12-hour shifts to pour, set, label, and prep these handmade candles, often rotating between our jar candles, glass candles, and tin candles to match inventory needs. After pouring, candles rest for 24 hours before entering their 10-day cure phase. This timeline allows our coconut soy candles to bond with premium fragrance oils—enhancing scent throw and stability while minimizing flaws like frosting or cold spots.
We don’t use conveyor belts or shortcuts. Every phase is hands-on, from heating and blending to pouring and cooling. Once cured, wicks are trimmed to the ideal 1/4-inch length, and the surface is smoothed with a heat gun. This careful attention to detail is what makes our eco-friendly candles and phthalate-free candles stand out in the market. Whether you're buying masculine candles, romantic candles, or a soothing spa candle, each piece carries the same standard of artisan quality.

Whether we’re filling individual orders or prepping bulk candles and wholesale candles for events or resale, every pour is consistent in quality. We mix and match vessels and fragrances to fulfill larger orders while maintaining the same attention to curing times, temperature control, and final finishing. The result? Luxury candles that perform as beautifully in batches of 15 as they do in batches of 150. Our customers can always expect attention to detail no matter the order size.
