10 Kg vs 25 Kg Soy Wax — Which Should a Small Business Buy?
Share
Is 10 kg cheaper than 1 kg? Only for Pearl and CSI 468 on CSI's listed prices.
How do I calculate it? Wax grams (92% of fill) × price per gram.
Does bulk save money? Little on listed packs; ask for a quote above them.
With no per-kilogram saving above 10 kg on most CSI waxes, the choice between 10 kg and 25 kg is about usage, storage and cash — not price.
How long each lasts
| 200 g candles / month | Wax / month | 10 kg lasts | 25 kg lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 9.7 kg | 1.0 months | 2.6 months |
| 100 | 19.3 kg | 0.5 months | 1.3 months |
| 200 | 38.6 kg | 0.3 months | 0.6 months |
| 400 | 77.3 kg | 0.1 months | 0.3 months |
No 25 kg pack is listed; 25 kg is 2 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg of CSI 464 (₹12,685.00) — the same per kilogram as 10 kg. The only reasons to buy 25 kg at once are fewer orders and one batch of wax for a run.
Twenty-five kilograms is a cash and storage decision
There is no 25 kg bag on CSI's list. Buying 25 kg means combining listed packs, such as two 10 kg bags and one 5 kg bag. For CSI 464 that comes to ₹12,685.00, against ₹5,074.00 for a single 10 kg bag. The per-kilogram price is the same.
The difference, 12,685 − 5,074 = 7,611 rupees, buys you no discount at all. It is cash that has turned into wax on a shelf: money you cannot spend on oil, jars or a festive promotion until those candles are poured and sold.
Ask how long 25 kg will really last
At 100 candles of 200 g a month, with 5% wastage, you use about 19.3 kg. Twenty-five kilograms lasts a little over a month, which is a sensible stock. At 50 candles a month you use about 9.7 kg, and 25 kg would sit for more than two months. That is not harmful for CSI 464 or CSI 468, which state a 60-month shelf life in cool, dry storage. It is still idle money.
Where you keep it matters in India
Summer in north and west India routinely reaches 40–45°C, and the monsoon brings long, humid months. A store room under a hot roof or next to a damp wall is a poor home for 25 kg of wax. Keep bags sealed, off the floor and out of direct sun. If you have no cool corner, a smaller stock that you turn over quickly is the safer choice.
When 25 kg at once makes sense
Two reasons justify it. You have a large order and want all its candles from one purchase, or you want fewer orders in a busy season. For Pearl, a 25 kg combination costs ₹10,620.00, and a single 50 kg bag is listed if you use it quickly. CSI 464's product page mentions a 25 kg format, but it is not a listed size, so ask on WhatsApp (+91 7397976926) if you want it.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We publish every pack price, so every per-kilogram and per-candle figure here can be checked against the product pages — including the ones that show a bigger bag is not cheaper.
Prices are taken from live CSI stock in September 2026. Where a product page does not publish a specification, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.
