Candle Business Guides · Single-Jar Risk
On the 240-candle month worked below: 166 extra jars on top of the 252 that a three-week lead time already demands, so you reorder at 418 on the shelf. The whole buffer is ₹4,897 — against ₹1,16,820 of output lost if the jar runs out for one lead time.
+166 jars
of additional safety stock — ₹4,897 at the 100-pack rate of ₹29.50 a jar — derived from the reader's own 190–310 monthly spread, a 28-day worst-case against a 21-day usual lead time, and 2% breakage · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
How much additional safety stock? 166 jars here, built from three separate causes: 74 jars for the demand spread, 84 for the lead-time spread, and 8 for breakage. At ₹29.50 that is ₹4,897 — 3.1% of one month's revenue at the reader's ₹649 retail.So what number do I reorder at? 418 jars: 252 of lead-time demand (12 a day × 21 days) plus the 166 of buffer. That is 1.74 months of consumption sitting on the shelf at the moment you place the order — which feels wrong and is right.
Why is the jar line so deep? Not because of the safety stock. The 21-day lead time is what makes it deep: 60% of the 418 is pure lead-time demand. Shorten your own observed lead time to a week and the trigger falls to about 145 jars.
Is there a cheaper fix than more jars? Yes, and it is worth costing: a second burn-tested jar. The alternatives in this size band list at ₹62 and ₹70.80 a jar against ₹29.50, so a fallback run costs ₹32.50 to ₹41.30 more per candle — unpleasant, and far better than pouring nothing.
The short answer
Build the buffer from three causes, not one number: demand spread, lead-time spread and breakage. Each has its own arithmetic and each comes from your own records — 74 + 84 + 8 jars here.
Buy in the pack that carries the rate: the 200 ml Salsa clear jar is ₹40.12 each in 5s and ₹29.50 in 50s and 100s. Running thin and topping up in 5-packs costs 36% more per jar — the shortage punishes you twice.
Attack the lead time before the buffer: the three-week wait, not the variability, is 60% of your jar holding. Order earlier, order in bigger tranches, and qualify a backup vessel.
In this guide
Sixty per cent of the jar holding is the lead time, not the buffer. That is why the honest answer to "how much extra?" starts with "less than you think — but the base is far more than you think".

Straight answer
How many extra jars should a single-jar collection hold as safety stock?
Build it from three causes and add them. The reader pours 240 candles a month over 20 working days — 12 a day — all into the 200ml Salsa Glass Jar, with a 185 g wax fill weighed on their own scale, 14.8 g of oil at 8% of total wax weight, retailing at ₹649. Their own records give a monthly output spread of 190 to 310 candles (9.5 to 15.5 a day), a jar lead time of 21 days, occasionally 28, and 2% breakage. So: lead-time demand 12 × 21 = 252 jars; demand-spread buffer (15.5 − 12) × 21 = 74 jars; lead-time-spread buffer 12 × 7 = 84 jars; breakage 2% of the cycle = 8 jars. Additional safety stock is 166 jars, ₹4,897 at the 100-pack rate of ₹29.50, and the reorder point is 418 jars, ₹12,331 — 1.74 months of consumption on the shelf when the order goes in. Order 200 jars (₹5,900) at the trigger and the cycle peaks at 618 jars, ₹18,231, or 2.6 months of cover. Set that against ₹7,788 of output per working day and the ₹1,16,820 lost if the jar is absent for one 21-day lead time. Two further facts change the decision: the listed rate is ₹40.12 a jar in 5s against ₹29.50 in 50s and 100s, so topping up thin costs 36% more per jar; and a burn-tested backup jar in this size band lists at ₹62 or ₹70.80, a premium of ₹32.50 to ₹41.30 a candle that beats not pouring. All volumes, spreads and lead times are the reader's own; CSI publishes no delivery times.
One line: 166 extra jars (₹4,897) on top of 252 of lead-time demand — reorder at 418, order 200, and spend more effort on shortening the three-week wait than on growing the buffer.
The 200ml Salsa Glass Jar with 63mm Lug Cap lists at ₹200.60 for 5 Pcs, ₹1,475 for 50 and ₹2,950 for 100 — ₹40.12 a jar at the small pack and ₹29.50 at 50 and 100. Two 100-packs and a 50 cover a 240-jar month with ten spare.

The buffer has three causes, not one
"Keep some extra jars" is not a number. Three separate things can empty the shelf, and each one has its own arithmetic.
Safety stock gets vague because people treat it as a single feeling about risk. It is not: it is the sum of specific, measurable gaps between what you planned and what happens. For a jar used in every SKU there are exactly three, and a fourth that only glass suffers from.
Jar safety stock, cause by cause · 240 candles a month, 20 working days
Each cause, its formula, the reader's input, and the jars it adds
| Cause | Formula | Reader's own input | Jars | Value at ₹29.50 | Share of the 418-jar trigger |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lead-time demand (not safety stock) | daily use × lead-time days | 12 a day × 21 days | 252 | ₹7,434 | 60.3% |
| Demand spread | (peak daily − average daily) × lead time | (15.5 − 12) × 21 — from a 190–310 monthly range | 74 | ₹2,183 | 17.7% |
| Lead-time spread | daily use × (worst lead time − usual) | 12 × (28 − 21) | 84 | ₹2,478 | 20.1% |
| Breakage | observed breakage rate × cycle quantity | 2% of 418 | 8 | ₹236 | 1.9% |
| Additional safety stock | the three buffers added | — | 166 | ₹4,897 | 39.7% |
| Reorder point | lead-time demand + safety stock | — | 418 | ₹12,331 | 100% |
Worked out above: 240 ÷ 20 = 12 candles and 12 jars a working day. A 190–310 monthly range over 20 working days is 9.5 to 15.5 a day, so the demand buffer is (15.5 − 12) × 21 = 73.5, rounded to 74. The lead-time buffer is 12 × (28 − 21) = 84. Breakage at the reader's observed 2% of a 418-jar cycle is 8.36, rounded to 8. Safety stock 73.5 + 84 + 8.36 = 165.86, rounded to 166; reorder point 252 + 166 = 418. At ₹29.50 — the listed rate in both the 50-piece and 100-piece packs — that is ₹4,897 of buffer inside ₹12,331 of trigger stock. Every input here is the reader's own observation; CSI publishes no delivery times and makes no stock-availability promise.
Read the right-hand column before you argue with any of it. The safety stock is only 39.7% of the pile; three fifths of those 418 jars are there simply because the order takes three weeks to arrive. That changes where you should spend your attention, which is the subject of the last section on this page.
Breakage is a jar-only line — measure it, don't guess it
Wax and wicks do not break on the way in or on the bench; glass does. The 2% here is the reader's own observed rate across deliveries and handling, and it is the only safety-stock input on this page that is specific to containers. Count rejects for two months — chipped rims, hairline cracks found on filling, jars that fail your own hot-pour check — and express the total as a percentage of jars received. If your figure is 1%, your buffer drops by four jars; if it is 5%, it rises by thirteen. Either way it is a measurement, not a rule of thumb.What the shelf actually looks like through a cycle
A reorder point is only half a policy. The other half is how much you order when you hit it, and with a single jar that answer is set by the pack ladder. At ₹29.50 the 100-piece pack is the natural unit, so the realistic choices are 100, 200 or 300 jars at a time.
Three order quantities, same 418-jar trigger
What each one does to the peak, the average holding and the cash
| Order quantity | Cost of the order | Shelf peak | Peak in months of cover | Cash at the peak | Orders a year | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 jars | ₹2,950 | 518 | 2.16 | ₹15,281 | About 29 | Too many order cycles for a 21-day lead time — you would be reordering almost weekly |
| 200 jars | ₹5,900 | 618 | 2.58 | ₹18,231 | About 14 | The balance — roughly fortnightly ordering, 11.7% of a month's revenue in glass |
| 300 jars | ₹8,850 | 718 | 2.99 | ₹21,181 | About 10 | Fewer orders, three months of glass, and more breakage exposure in storage |
Note that none of the three gets you below two months of jars on the shelf. With one jar and a three-week lead time, a two-to-three-month jar holding is not over-buying — it is the arithmetic. The 200-jar option holds ₹18,231 at the peak, which is 11.7% of one month's revenue at the reader's ₹649 price; the whole-year difference between the cheapest and dearest option is ₹5,900 of average cash and about nineteen fewer purchase orders.
Don't net the reorder point against jars already promised. If 150 of those 418 jars are earmarked for a confirmed corporate order, your free stock is 268 — fifty below the trigger — and a sheet that shows one number will tell you everything is fine right up to the morning it is not. Keep committed and free quantities in separate columns and compare the trigger against free stock only. The mechanics, and why an inventory figure that ignores commitments oversells the shelf, are set out in separating committed inventory from free inventory.
Don't store three months of glass badly. A deep jar buffer only counts if the jars survive to be filled. Keep them in their original cartons, no more than the manufacturer's stack height, off a damp floor, away from anywhere a trolley turns, and open cartons from the top rather than tipping them. Count on the same day each month and record breakage as its own line — if the number climbs, the storage is eating the buffer you paid for, and no reorder formula will tell you so.
Why running thin on jars costs you twice
A jar shortage does not just stop the pour. It makes the next jars dearer.
This is the one line on the four-material sheet where the pack ladder genuinely punishes a thin policy, and it is worth seeing in rupees. The 200ml Salsa Glass Jar lists at ₹200.60 for 5 pieces, ₹1,475 for 50 and ₹2,950 for 100. That is ₹40.12 a jar at the small rung and ₹29.50 at the two larger ones — a 36.0% premium for buying in fives.
Covering a 240-jar month three ways · CSI live pricing, September 2026
The same month of jars, bought in different rungs
| How you buy it | Jars | Cost | Per jar | Against the best rate | Jar as a share of a ₹224.89 candle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 × 100 Pcs + 1 × 50 Pcs | 250 | ₹7,375 | ₹29.50 | — | 13.12% |
| 2 × 100 Pcs + 8 × 5 Pcs | 240 | ₹7,504.80 | ₹31.27 | +₹1.77 a jar | 13.79% |
| 48 × 5 Pcs (panic buying) | 240 | ₹9,628.80 | ₹40.12 | +₹10.62 a jar | 16.60% |
The bottom row is what a jar shortage actually looks like in an accounts ledger: ₹2,548.80 more for the same 240 jars, on top of whatever output you lost while waiting. And because the jar is 13.12% of this candle's ₹224.89 material cost, that ₹10.62 premium moves straight through to margin on every unit you rescue that way.
Worth noting that this stepped shape is not universal in the CSI range, so check your own jar rather than assuming. The 150 g Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid is ₹94.40 a jar in both its 10-pack and its 20-pack — flat, so no penalty for small top-ups — and the 200 ml White Matte Glass Jar is ₹70.80 at both its packs. Where the ladder is flat, thin cover costs you only output; where it steps, as it does here, it costs you output and unit price.
The jar, and the backup worth qualifying
Three cards: the jar itself, a costed fallback, and the wax that this fill weight assumes. Each table shows every listed pack with its per-piece or per-kilo rate.

The whole collection's vessel · stepped ladder
200ml Salsa Glass Jar with 63mm Lug Cap (Golden Lid)
The cheapest route to a 200 ml vessel in the range, and the reason this reader's jar line is only 13.12% of material cost despite gating every SKU. Its page states a 200 ml capacity described as ample for votive or single-wick candles, and nothing more — no dimensions and no fill weight in grams, with the 63 mm lug cap appearing in the title rather than the description. That is why the 185 g fill used throughout this page is described as weighed on the reader's own scale: 200 ml is a volume, and you cannot convert it to grams of wax without filling one and weighing it. Do that before you order 618 of anything. The rate is ₹40.12 a jar at 5 pieces and ₹29.50 at both 50 and 100.
| Size | Price | Per piece |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Pcs | ₹200.60 | ₹40.12 |
| 50 Pcs | ₹1,475 | ₹29.50 |
| 100 Pcs | ₹2,950 | ₹29.50 |

The fallback · a known premium beats a stopped line
200ml Salsa Amber Glass Jar with 63mm Lug Cap
The point of a backup vessel is not to be cheaper, it is to exist. This jar is the same stated 200 ml capacity from the same family at ₹310 for 5, ₹3,100 for 50 and ₹6,200 for 100 — ₹62 a jar at every rung, which is ₹32.50 more than the clear version and takes the candle's material cost from ₹224.89 to ₹257.39. Its page also states that it pairs well with C2 Eco Wicks, which matters because a fallback is only a fallback if the wick you already stock fits it. Burn-test it once, at your load and your cure, and keep the recipe on file — then a jar shortage becomes a margin problem for one run instead of a shutdown.
| Size | Price | Per piece |
|---|---|---|
| Pack of 5 | ₹310 | ₹62 |
| Pack of 50 | ₹3,100 | ₹62 |
| Pack of 100 | ₹6,200 | ₹62 |

The fill behind the arithmetic · stated 13% load
Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (Flakes Form)
The 185 g fill and 14.8 g of oil in every sum on this page assume a wax whose page actually states its numbers. CSI 468 is stated for single-pour container applications with a fragrance load of up to 13%, a melting point of 50–53°C and a pour temperature of 58–60°C — markedly lower than the soy waxes, so the thermometer matters. At 240 candles a month the reader uses 44.4 kg, which is ₹28,282.80 at the ₹637/kg rate the 5 kg and 10 kg packs carry, against ₹650/kg at 1 kg and 500 g. That is one of the few genuine step-downs in the wax range. The 8% of total wax weight used here sits well inside the stated 13% ceiling, which is a formulation limit rather than a regulatory one.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 185g candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 g | ₹325 | ₹650 | ≈2 |
| 1 kg | ₹650 | ₹650 | ≈5 |

The CSI principle
When one vessel carries the whole collection, the jar stops being packaging and becomes the production line. Buffer it in pieces, store it like glass, and never let the order go in late.
A jar is the only material on the sheet that can be destroyed by a dropped carton, bought at a 36% premium in a panic, and still be the cheapest thing standing between you and a week of zero output.
The buffer is 166 jars, ₹4,897, and the trigger is 418 jars. Ordering 200 at a time is ₹5,900 and keeps roughly 2.6 months on the shelf. For recurring monthly jar volumes, bulk pricing above the listed packs and GST invoicing, talk to us on WhatsApp.
Ask about jar volumes
Sizing your own jar buffer
Six steps. The only external inputs are your own sales history, your own delivery records and two months of counted breakage.
1
Weigh one filled jar before anything elseMost jar listings state capacity in millilitres, not grams — this one says 200 ml and gives no weight. Fill one to your finish line, weigh the wax, and write the figure down. Every number downstream depends on it, and a 10 g error across 240 candles a month is 2.4 kg of wax a month mis-planned.
2
Convert monthly units into jars a working day240 ÷ 20 = 12 here. Since every SKU shares the jar, this is simply your total output — which is exactly why the jar gates 100% of production and deserves the attention this page gives it.
3
Pull your highest and lowest month from the last six190 and 310 here, which is 9.5 and 15.5 jars a day. Use the peak, not the average, for the demand buffer: (15.5 − 12) × lead-time days. Averaging the spread away is the single most common way a jar buffer turns out to be half the size it needed to be. The average-versus-peak question is argued through in average sales or peak demand.
4
Pull your usual and worst delivery times from your own orders21 and 28 days here. The gap, multiplied by daily use, is the lead-time buffer: 12 × 7 = 84 jars. No supplier page publishes a delivery time, CSI's included, so this has to come from your records — and if you have never written them down, start now and use the worst you can remember in the meantime.
5
Add a measured breakage allowanceCount rejects for two months as a percentage of jars received — 2% here, giving 8 jars on a 418-jar cycle. Include chipped rims and anything that fails your own hot-pour check, because a jar you cannot fill is a jar you do not have. This is the one buffer line that does not apply to wax, oil or wicks.
6
Add them, set the trigger, and pick the order quantity from the ladder166 of buffer plus 252 of lead-time demand = a 418-jar trigger. Then choose an order quantity in whole packs at the best rate — 200 jars, ₹5,900, two 100-packs — and write both numbers on the wall above the jars. Recheck the trigger whenever output moves more than about 15%, because at 310 candles a month it would rise from 418 to roughly 540.
The lead time is the real lever
Here is the uncomfortable arithmetic that most jar-inventory advice skips. Of the 418 jars you must hold, 252 — three fifths — exist purely because the order takes 21 days. The buffer you have been agonising over is the smaller half. So the highest-return action is not to hold more; it is to shorten or de-risk the wait.
What the trigger does at different lead times · same 240-candle month
The buffer barely moves; the base collapses
| Usual lead time | Worst case assumed | Lead-time demand | Buffer (demand + lead-time spread + breakage) | Reorder point | Trigger value at ₹29.50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 days | 28 days | 252 jars | 74 + 84 + 8 = 166 | 418 jars | ₹12,331 |
| 14 days | 19 days | 168 jars | 49 + 60 + 6 = 115 | 283 jars | ₹8,348.50 |
| 7 days | 10 days | 84 jars | 25 + 36 + 3 = 64 | 148 jars | ₹4,366 |
Cutting the wait from three weeks to one takes ₹7,965 of glass off the shelf and removes two thirds of the single-point-of-failure risk at the same time. Four things on your side of the table move that number, and none of them is a supplier promise: place the order on a calendar date rather than when the shelf looks low; order in larger tranches so fewer deliveries are in flight; burn-test a second vessel so a late delivery costs ₹32.50 a candle instead of a fortnight; and tell your supplier your monthly rhythm in advance rather than treating each order as a surprise. CSI handles recurring volumes, bulk pricing and GST invoicing on WhatsApp, and knowing that 240 jars a month are coming is useful information for any supplier to have.
And one piece of honesty the formula cannot supply: no supplier can promise never to be out of stock, least of all in the weeks before a festival. Diwali falls on 8 November 2026, which means the jars for a Diwali range have to be on your own shelf in September, not ordered in October. Plan procurement risk as something you absorb, rather than something a supplier guarantees away — and if your jar is the only vessel in the collection, absorb it with a qualified backup as well as with stock.
Three fifths of your jar pile is the lead time. Shorten the wait before you widen the buffer.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials and does not sell finished candles. A supplier writing about single-jar risk has an obvious incentive to recommend a very large standing order. This page instead points out that three fifths of the holding is lead time rather than buffer, that a one-week lead time would take ₹7,965 of glass off your shelf, and that the cheapest real mitigation is burn-testing a second vessel. A maker who never loses a pouring week keeps ordering; a maker with three months of glass and no cash does not.
Every price and pack rate is live CSI stock in September 2026, taken from the linked product pages, where current pricing always takes precedence. Specifications appear only where a page states them: the 200ml Salsa Glass Jar states a 200 ml capacity and no dimensions and no gram fill weight — which is why the 185 g fill here is described as weighed by the reader; the Amber version of the same jar states that it pairs well with C2 Eco Wicks; CSI 468 states a fragrance load of up to 13%, a melting point of 50–53°C and a pour of 58–60°C. Stated loads are wax formulation limits, not regulatory limits. The 240-candle volume, the single-jar collection, the ₹649 retail price, the 190–310 monthly spread, the 21-and-28-day lead times and the 2% breakage rate are all the reader's own figures. CSI publishes no delivery times, no minimum order quantity and no stock-availability promise, and nothing here should be read as one; the procurement risk discussed is a general risk every buyer plans around.

Frequently asked questions
How many spare jars should I keep if every candle I make uses the same jar?
Add three separate buffers rather than picking one figure. On 240 candles a month over 20 working days — 12 jars a day — with a 190–310 monthly spread, a 21-day lead time that sometimes runs to 28, and 2% breakage, the answer is 74 + 84 + 8 = 166 jars, or ₹4,897 at the ₹29.50 rate. The full reorder point is 418 jars, because lead-time demand alone is 252. Substitute your own four inputs; the structure travels, the numbers do not.
Isn't two to three months of jars far too much inventory?
It is what a three-week lead time on a single vessel produces, and the cash involved is smaller than it sounds: 618 jars at the peak is ₹18,231, which is 11.7% of one month's revenue at the reader's ₹649 price, and the jar is only 13.12% of a ₹224.89 candle's material cost. If the number still bothers you, attack the lead time rather than the buffer — at a one-week lead time the trigger falls from 418 jars to 148 and the glass on the shelf drops by ₹7,965.
What does a jar stock-out actually cost?
Everything, because nothing can be poured. At 12 candles a working day and ₹649 retail that is ₹7,788 of output a day, and the 15 working days inside a 21-day lead time come to ₹1,16,820 — more than twenty-three times the ₹4,897 buffer that prevents it. Then there is the second cost: rescuing the month by buying 5-packs at ₹40.12 a jar instead of ₹29.50 adds ₹2,548.80 to a 240-jar month. The shortage charges you twice.
Should I qualify a second jar instead of holding more of the first?
Do both — they solve different halves of the problem. Extra stock covers a late delivery; a second burn-tested vessel covers the case where the jar is simply unavailable for longer than any buffer. The honest cost is a premium, not a saving: the Amber version of the same 200 ml jar is ₹62 a jar against ₹29.50, taking the candle from ₹224.89 to ₹257.39, and 200 ml matte and frosted jars list at ₹70.80. Burn-test the alternative once at your own load and cure, keep the recipe, and a shortage becomes one margin-light run.
Does buying jars in bigger packs actually save money?
On this jar, yes — and unusually so for the CSI range. The 200ml Salsa Glass Jar is ₹40.12 a jar in the 5-piece pack and ₹29.50 in both the 50-piece and 100-piece packs, a 36.0% premium for buying small. But check your own jar before assuming: the 150 g Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid is ₹94.40 in both its 10-pack and 20-pack and the 200 ml White Matte Glass Jar is ₹70.80 at both packs — completely flat, so small top-ups cost nothing extra there.
The jar page says 200 ml. How much wax does that actually take?
Weigh it — do not convert. The page states a 200 ml capacity and no gram fill weight, and millilitres measure volume while your recipe is in grams, so the only reliable figure is one you produce yourself: fill a jar to your finish line, weigh the wax, and use that number. The 185 g on this page is the reader's own weighed figure, not a published specification. Some CSI jars do state a weight — the 150 g Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid gives a 150 g fill capacity and a hot-pour limit of 85°C — and those are far easier to plan around.
