A candle is molded in a transparent enclosure which doubles as a retailing container. The enclosure comprises a mold panel having a shaped recess with a sprue passage, and a closure panel. Wick holders may be provided in the enclosure on opposite ends of the recess. The panels may be held together during molding and thereafter by snap-fastener-type elements formed on the panels. The closure panel may have a recess aligned with the recess in the mold panel to make a candle product having a desired contour on both sides. A display graphics card may be held between the panels. In a simpler modification the open transparent mold panel is horizontally disposed without the closure panel. Its recess is fitted with a wick, and wax is poured in and allowed to set. The panel is then secured to a "blister" card.
A candle display package comprising a transparent plastic mold panel formed with a shaped recess and a sprue passage communicating from one end of the shaped recess to a margin of the mold panel, a closure panel releasably secured against the mold panel to close it, a pair of wick-holding means in the sprue passage and one of the panels at the opposite end of the shaped recess respectively, a wick engaging the pair of wickholding means and extending tautly therebetween and a molded wax candle body surrounding the wick and disposed snugly in the cavity defined by the recess and the closure panel and conforming in shape thereto.
A candle display package comprising a transparent plastic mold panel formed with a shaped recess and a surrounding flange, the recess having a main cavity and a wick-holding lateral narrow extension at the center of one end thereof, the extension being shallower than the main cavity, a closure panel secured against the flange of the mold panel, a wick disposed above the bottom of the cavity and into the lateral narrow extension and a molded wax candle body surrounding the wick and disposed snugly in the recess and conforming in shape thereto.
