Standard 6 pc. Clamshell Mold
Choose a Variant

Make wax melts and tarts quickly and easily with our crystal-clear clamshell molds. They snap securely shut yet remain easy to open. The Standard 6 pc clamshell holds 2.75 oz. of wax, and is the most common size in the market. Our clamshells accommodate high fragrance loads and pour temps up to 180°.

Recyclable under code 3, which is accepted by most curbside services.

Details: Holds 2.75 oz. (78 g) of wax for all 6 melts. Melt size is 1" (2.5 cm) cubed. 

Pro Tip: If you open the clamshell up all the way and make a crease in the spine, they'll sit nicely on the table without tipping.

Our go to Place!

We've purchased clamshells from a few different suppliers, by far, we are pleased with the ones from Candlescience. They look great and they perform well. They are sturdy, even squares, and holds the wax nicely. We've never had any issues releasing or popping the melts out of the container. We will continue to purchase and we highly recommend Candlescience.

Great Quality

The only thing that I do not like about these clamshells is that they have a blue-ish tint to them. They are not completely clear. They are also a bit difficult to open once closed. Other than those things, they are very nice, sturdy, and serves its purpose!

Everyone Loves Wax Melts!

These are always a hit at my markets! A great option to include in your fragrance lines. They are a tad difficult to open at first but loosen up as they are used.

Great!

Easy to use, durable, and supports relatively high temps. I usually pour into these around 160-170F and no issues. With a little bending they lay relatively flat (although the weight of the liquid will keep it flat as you finish pouring). No issues with opening after closing them. Just takes a little force, but it's a tight plastic seal, which is what you want. Helps prevent the scent from escaping. Also the price is great so I will keep buying these. I wish CandleScience sold more varieties of clamshells, either in larger pieces for more volume, or in circle shaped clamshells. But this works for my business and my customers love them.
