Custom Silicone Candle Moulds

At Myka Candles & Moulds, we specialise in delivering Australian-made custom mould services tailored for both commercial businesses and individuals. Our mission is to provide an economical solution to create unique, high-quality products. Each of our moulds is meticulously crafted to your exact specifications and can be used with a wide range of materials including, but not limited to, wax, soap, resin, plaster, concrete, pastries, and chocolate.

While our silicone moulds are versatile, it is up to the customer's discretion and experience to determine whether their specific design will work with their chosen material. We will collaborate with you until you are confident it will meet your needs. However, as we do not have expertise in all materials, we cannot guarantee the moulds will work for delicate or irregular designs.

Quality Custom Moulds

All our custom moulds are crafted from platinum-cure silicone, renowned for its durability and long lifespan. This ensures your mould will remain in excellent condition through hundreds of uses if properly cared for. Each mould is mixed, poured, and trimmed by hand, so there may be minor exterior imperfections. However, these imperfections will not affect the final product.

Important Details

• Design Adaptability: Depending on the complexity of your design, the mould may need to be cut or divided into two pieces.

• Leakage Prevention: Secure any mould openings with rubber bands or clips as required to prevent any leakage.

Candle Jar Moulds

Our custom mould services also includes specialised moulds used to craft personalised candle jars made of concrete, jesmonite, or hydrostone featuring embossed or debossed designs, such as logos or selected images. With these moulds, individuals or businesses can produce their own distinctive line of candle jars, offering a unique branding opportunity. This approach is cost-effective compared to purchasing individual glass jars, allowing for greater creativity and brand customisation in candle making endeavors.

Jar Refill Moulds

A jar refill mould is a custom-designed mould used to create wax refills tailored to fit your specific candle jars. By using these moulds, your customers can refill their candle jars once the original candle has burned out, effectively giving them a new candle at a reduced cost compared to purchasing a new one. This practice not only promotes sustainability by reusing materials but also fosters customer loyalty by offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution.

The design fee & refill mould starts from $70 per mould. Please note that the price is in AUD and is for regular-sized jars. Larger jars will incur additional charges due to increased silicone usage. You will be responsible for sending us the jar at your own expense.

Custom Mould Creation Process

1. Submit Your Design: Provide us with a 3D file of your design along with any necessary specifications.
2. Design Confirmation: We will confirm your design before proceeding. Once finalised and printed, modifications cannot be made without a complete reprint and an additional design fee.
3. Mould Housing Creation: After the design is printed, we will design and print the mould housing specific to your design. This housing is used to pour the silicone and give the mould its exterior shape.
4. Silicone Pouring: Once all necessary 3D prints are complete, we mix and pour the silicone. Depending on the size, the silicone may need to be poured in layers.
5. Production Timeframe: This entire process can take up to 1-2 weeks, depending on the shape and size, as well as the time it takes for the design to be finalized.
6. Exclusive Design Rights: Any design we create from scratch for you will be exclusively yours at no extra charge. This means we will not sell your design to anyone else. However, this does not prevent others from copying your design, nor can we stop them from doing so. If you wish to copyright your design, please do so through the proper channels. Note that exclusivity does not apply to existing designs or objects, as they are publicly accessible and cannot be owned by you or us.

FAQs

Q: What is a custom mould, and how is it used in candle making?

A: A custom mould is a specific design of a mould that is created to make candles in a unique shape, size, or design. It is used in candle making to produce candles with a distinctive appearance or to match a specific brand image. Custom moulds can be made from a variety of materials, including silicone, injection moulds, and vacuum forming. 

Q: What types of files or images do I need to provide to get a custom mould made?

A: To get a custom mould made, you will need to provide a 3D file of your design or a link to a 3D image. We can process common 3D file types like STL and STEP. 

If you don't have a 3D file, you can provide a physical object or jar as a reference. We can also offer design assistance for basic shapes and logos. We can also convert SVG files into a 3D model.

Q: What materials are used to make the moulds?

A: We use platinum-cure silicone to make all of your custom moulds. This type of silicone has the longest lifespan of all mould rubbers and ensures that your mould will remain in excellent condition through hundreds of uses.

Q: Can I request a specific size or shape for my custom mould?

A: Yes, you can request a specific size or shape for your custom mould. We’ll work with you to create a design that fits your requirements.

Q: Is there a minimum order quantity for custom moulds?

A: No, there is no minimum order quantity for custom moulds with us. Once you pay the design fee, you can order as many moulds as you like of that particular design. However, please be aware that any modifications to a design after printing will result in an additional design fee, as we would need to restart the process from the beginning.

Q: Will my custom mould be exclusively mine?

A: Yes, exclusivity applies only to designs crafted and 3D printed based on your unique specifications. Unlike other companies, we don't impose an exclusive mould fee. However, a design and print fee will be incurred to account for materials and testing expenses. Please note that designs replicated from pre-existing objects, like jars or statues, cannot be considered exclusive, as they are publicly accessible and not under our design ownership. For designs replicated from existing objects, we typically only charge a small design fee for the mould housing.

Q: Can you create a mould from a 2D image or photo?

A: No. Unfortunately, 2D images and photos differ significantly from the 3D models essential for 3D printing. Regrettably, we cannot transform a 2D image into a comprehensive 3D 360° model.
