North Mountain Supply PET wax melt clamshell molds provide a convenient, professional way to pour, package and display wax melts and other small DIY creations. This pack includes 120 clamshells, giving you plenty of molds for production runs, seasonal collections or craft fair inventory.
Each mold is made from BPA free PET plastic, the same type of material commonly used in soda bottles and a more environmentally friendly option than PVC. PET offers good clarity to showcase color and texture while being lightweight and easy to handle.
The clamshells feature a pie shaped design with 6 individual cavities. When filled, each mold holds approximately 2.5 ounces of wax in total, divided among the sections. This format is popular with both makers and customers because it:
-
Breaks cleanly into six segments
-
Works well for individual or multiple melt warmers
-
Presents nicely in retail or craft settings
These molds are primarily designed for candle wax melts, but they can also be used for other small projects, such as:
-
Hand poured soaps in small segments
-
Chocolates and confections, when used with food safe processes and kept dedicated to food use
-
Crayons, melts or other fun DIY castings
For best results with wax, it is important to follow the recommended pour temperature guidelines:
-
Recommended pour temperature: 140 F to 150 F
-
Do not exceed 160 F
-
If you need to pour hotter than 150 F for a specific formulation, test with a single mold first to ensure there is no warping or deformation
Keeping within this temperature range helps preserve the shape and clarity of the PET plastic and extends the usable life of your molds.
The clamshells are reusable and washable, especially when handled carefully and kept within the suggested temperature limits. However, repeated exposure to high heat can gradually reduce durability over time, so it is best to avoid excessive temperatures and rough handling whenever possible.
