A ''canting'' consists of:
# '''''Nyamplung''''': a rounded liquid wax container, made from copper.
# '''''Cucuk''''' ([[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]:{{IPA|tʃutʃuk}}): a small copper pipe or spout that connects to ''nyamplung'' container, it is where the liquid wax comes out to be applied to the cloth.
# '''''Gagang''''': ''canting'' holder, usually made from bamboo or wood.

The size of ''canting'' may be varied according to the desired dot size or line thickness to be applied to the cloth. A [[batik]] craftsperson uses ''canting'' in a similar fashion as drawing using a pen.
