I Want to Make 100 × 100 g Rose Candles for Wedding Favours — What Should My Complete Raw-Material Shopping List Look Like?
Share
Which jar? Not the 50 g velvet jar — it holds 50 g. Use your own favour jar or the Yankee 130 ml with clear cap (₹47.20) after a weighed test pour.
What else goes on the list? Wicks (test two first), one sticker per wick, optional dye (no published dose — test), optional tissue, and non-CSI tags, ribbon and boxes.
Total? ₹15,870.60 core CSI order; ₹16,756.60 with dye and tissue; ₹10,820.20 if you use your own jars.
The complete shopping list, by category
A 100 g favour at 8% is 8 g of rose oil and 92 g of wax — a hundred of them are only 9.2 kg of wax and 800 g of oil. What makes a favour order complete is everything around the formula: a jar with a lid, a wick and its sticker, perhaps a blush of colour, something to wrap it in, and the non-CSI finishing touches the couple chose. This list groups every line into six categories so nothing is missed, prices every CSI line from the live listing, and keeps the non-CSI lines outside the CSI subtotal as labelled examples.
| Category | Item | Need | Buy | Price | In CSI subtotal? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Formula | Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 | 10,357.1 g | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹6,695.00 | Yes |
| 1 · Formula | British Rose Fragrance Oil | 900.6 g | 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g + 1 × 15 g | ₹3,056.20 | Yes |
| 2 · Container | Yankee Glass Jar 130 ml (clear cap included) | 107 | 107 × 1 | ₹5,050.40 | Yes — or your own jar |
| 3 · Wick | Eco Thin C1 + Cotton Braided (test) | 2 + 2 | 1 × 20 + 1 × 10 | ₹238.00 | Yes |
| 3 · Wick | Production wick (after test) | 104 | Thin: 1 × pack of 50 + 2 × pack of 20 · Cotton: 1 × pack of 100 | ₹531.00 / ₹1,200.00 | Yes |
| 3 · Wick | Wick stickers | 108 | 3 × sheet of 40 | ₹300.00 | Yes |
| 4 · Colour (optional) | Candle Dye Liquid Red | Dose not published | 1 × 15 g | ₹236.00 | Optional |
| 5 · Wrap (optional) | Premium Packing Tissue Paper | 100 sheets | 1 × 100 | ₹650.00 | Optional |
| 6 · Finishing | Favour tags, ribbon, gift boxes | 100 each | — | Example — your quotes | No |
| Core CSI subtotal (Thin C1 wins) | ₹15,870.60 | ||||
| Core CSI subtotal (Cotton Braided wins) | ₹16,539.60 | ||||
| CSI subtotal with optional dye and tissue | ₹16,756.60 |
That is ₹158.71 of core CSI materials per favour, against ₹140.98 for one favour's own BOM before allowances. The jar is the biggest line: at ₹47.20 each, the Yankee jar with its cap is 32% of the core order — far more than the wax or the oil. If the couple has chosen a jar from elsewhere, the core CSI order without jars is ₹10,820.20.
The 50 g velvet jar is not a 100 g jar
The jar most people picture for a wedding favour is the Heart Cutout Velvet Jar — and it is one of only two CSI containers with a published fill. That fill is 50 g of wax. A 100 g favour will not fit in it, however it is poured. So there are three honest options: use the jar you have already chosen for the couple; use the Yankee Glass Jar 130 ml, a lidded jar sold by its 130 ml brim volume, as a candidate and confirm its fill with a weighed test pour; or change the favour to 50 g and use the velvet jar as published.
| Jar | Price | Published | 100 g favour? | For 107 jars |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart Cutout Velvet Jar, Red | ₹45.00 / 1 · ₹225.00 / 5 · ₹450.00 / 10 | 50 g wax capacity (White out of stock) | No — holds 50 g | Only for a 50 g favour |
| Yankee Glass Jar 130 ml | ₹47.20 each | 130 ml brim, clear cap | Candidate — ≈ 111.8 g–117.0 g to the brim; weigh a test pour | ₹5,050.40 |
| Golden Aluminium Tin | ₹360.00 / 12 | 85 g fill | No — 85 g | — |
| 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar | ₹2,950.00 / 100 | 200 ml brim, lug cap | Fits, with a large empty gap | Better for 150 g — see 5903 |
| Your chosen favour jar | Your quote | Your fill line | Weigh one | Not in CSI subtotal |
The Yankee arithmetic is close enough to need a scale. 130 ml of wax at 0.86–0.90 g per ml weighs about 111.8 g–117.0 g to the brim, and a 100 g fill sits below that by only 11.8 g–17.0 g. Whether that leaves the gap below the rim you want for a lidded candle depends on the jar's shape and your fill line, which is exactly what one weighed test pour tells you. Buy a few Yankee jars first (they are sold singly), pour one to your line, weigh it, and only then order the remaining hundred.
| Line | Need | Buy | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 | 5,178.6 g | 1 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹3,510.00 |
| British Rose Fragrance Oil | 450.3 g | 1 × 500 g | ₹1,593.00 |
| Heart Cutout Velvet Jar, Red | 107 | 10 × 10 + 1 × 5 + 2 × 1 | ₹4,815.00 |
| Wax + oil + jars | ₹9,918.00 |
From 100 favours to purchase quantities
The quantities in the list come from the same five-step stack used across this series, applied once each and in order. Wedding orders have one feature that changes the figures: there is no second chance at the date. That argues for using your own reject and pour-loss records rather than optimistic ones, and for counting the test candles honestly.
| Step | Applies to | Figure | Wax | Oil | Wicks | Jars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net | Everything | 100 × BOM | 9,200 g | 800 g | 100 | 100 |
| Tests | Everything | 4 candles (2 wicks × 2) | 9,568 g | 832 g | 104 | 104 |
| Rejects | Wax, oil, wicks, stickers | ÷ (1 − 3%) | 9,863.9 g | 857.7 g | 108 | — |
| Pour loss | Wax, oil | × 1.05 | 10,357.1 g | 900.6 g | — | — |
| Breakage | Glass | ÷ (1 − 2%) | — | — | — | 106.12 → 107 |
| Packs | Every line | Cheapest in stock | 10,500 g | 915 g | test + production packs | 107 |
CSI 468 for favours: what the page states
The wax line uses Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468. CSI's product page states a melting point of 50–53°C, a pour temperature of 58–60°C, a fragrance load of up to 13% and a 60-month shelf life in cool, dry storage. That is a specification to follow, not a performance claim: CSI publishes no throw, frosting or adhesion data for any of its waxes. At 8% you are well inside the published 13%. The 10 kg bag costs ₹6,370.00 (₹637.00 a kilo); the 500 g bag is ₹325.00 (₹650.00 a kilo), so a 10 kg plus a 500 g covers this order for ₹6,695.00.
| Wax | Published ceiling | Packs | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 | 13% | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹6,695.00 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 13% | 2 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹6,289.00 |
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 | 10% | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹5,334.00 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | None published | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 1 kg | ₹4,698.00 |
Colour, wrapping and the non-CSI lines
A blush-pink rose favour is a common request. CSI lists liquid dyes and dye chips; Candle Dye Liquid Red is ₹236.00 for 15 g and Red Candle Dye Chips are ₹250.00. CSI does not publish a dose per kilo of wax for its dyes, so a pastel shade is found by test pours — start with a very small amount in a weighed batch, note it, and repeat it exactly. In general practice dye can also change how a candle burns, so test it in the same favours as your wick test, not afterwards. The pastel-pink rose post builds the dye, load and wick test into one purchase.
Wrapping is the other optional CSI line: Premium Packing Tissue Paper, 50 × 75 cm, 22 GSM, is ₹650.00 for 100 sheets — ₹6.50 a sheet, one per favour if each is wrapped. Tags, ribbons, boxes and any printing are not CSI items; they appear on the list as examples for you to replace with your own quotes and are deliberately left out of the CSI subtotal.
| Item | Quantity | Example figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Favour tag or label | 100 | Example: ₹8.00 each — replace | Include the couple's names and date |
| Ribbon | 100 lengths | Your quote | Cut length × 100 + spare |
| Gift box | 100 | Your quote | Check it fits the Yankee jar with cap |
| Candle-safety card | 100 | Your quote | Burn instructions for guests |
| Courier to the venue | 1 | Your quote | Pack the jars upright with dividers |
Buy now, buy after the test, and the date
For a wedding the split between buying now and buying after the test is also a calendar. The wax, the rose oil, the stickers and a handful of Yankee jars are shared whatever wick wins, so they can be ordered today. The production wick waits for the four test favours. And the remaining hundred jars wait for the weighed test pour — if the Yankee jar does not hold 100 g to your line, you change the jar, not the favour.
| Step | What you buy or do | Example timing | CSI ₹ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wax, British Rose, stickers, 6 Yankee jars, both test wick packs | Day 0 | ₹10,572.40 |
| 2 | Weighed test pour; four test favours poured | Day 2–3 | — |
| 3 | Cure the test favours (labelled example: 7 days) | Day 3–10 | — |
| 4 | Burn tests, 3–4 hour cycles, score both wicks | Day 10–14 | — |
| 5 | Order the production wick and the remaining 101 jars | Day 14 | ₹5,298.20 |
| 6 | Pour 100 favours; cure; wrap; deliver | From day 16 | — |
Working back from the wedding date with your own cure time is the only safe planning rule. With Diwali on Sunday 8 November 2026 and the November–February wedding season starting, an order placed this week leaves room for a full test cycle before most December dates. The 500-piece wedding order covers larger weddings in two fragrances, and the 100-piece rose pilot starts from the development stage rather than a confirmed order.

The 100-candle Lavender hub explains the method in full for a 200 g candle. Your first 100 candles separates what to buy in bulk from what to keep small. The burn-test budget post sizes the test favours if you want more than four. If the couple wants two fragrances, two fragrances in one run shares the wax across them, and the complete 100-candle plan adds dye and testing materials in one list.
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. The most popular favour jar we sell holds 50 g, and this page says so in the first screen rather than letting you discover it after the order. It also tells you when the cheaper wax or your own jars are the better buy.

Non-price figures and assumptions: BOM convention used on every page in this series: load is a share of the finished candle (oil = W × L; wax = W × (1 − L)). Allowances are applied in one order — whole test candles, then a reject allowance (÷ (1 − reject rate)) on wax, oil, wicks and stickers, then pour loss on wax and oil only, then breakage on glass only, then rounding up to listed in-stock CSI packs. A rejected candle is assumed to be remade with new wax, oil, wick and sticker in a cleaned jar; a jar that cannot be reused counts as breakage. Working figures on this page: 8% load (the title gives none), 4 test favours (2 wicks × 2), 3% rejects, 5% pour loss, 2% breakage; the timeline durations are labelled examples. Optional CSI lines: Candle Dye Liquid Red 15 g ₹236.00 (2301 catalogue pull; no dose published); Red Candle Dye Chips ₹250.00; Premium Packing Tissue Paper 100 sheets ₹650.00 (3001 pull). Volume is not weight: a jar's ml figure is its brim volume. Solid soy wax is lighter than water; ~0.86–0.90 g per ml is a labelled approximate working range that varies by wax, temperature and fill line, never a CSI specification. What CSI's product pages state (quoted, not CSI test results): Luxury Soy Wax Chunks — maximum fragrance load 13%, fragrance addition 80–90°C, pour 75–80°C in the spec table (the step list also shows 70–80°C), cure minimum 48 hours, ideally 1–2 weeks; Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 — fragrance load up to 10%, an 80–90°C melt/pour working range in the spec table, shelf life 60 months cool and dry; Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 — melting point 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C, fragrance load up to 13%, shelf life 60 months cool and dry; Natural Soy Pearl — no melt point, pour temperature, fragrance ceiling or shelf life published. CSI publishes no throw, burn-test, wick-size-per-diameter or jar-diameter data; only two fills are published (Golden Aluminium Tin 85 g, Heart Cutout Velvet Jar 50 g wax capacity). Material costs exclude labour, packaging, freight and GST. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November.
