At 250 g (larger premium jars), each candle holds 230 g of wax and 20 g of oil. 10 kg makes 43 candles, with 110 g of wax left over.

Wick at this size. Larger jars usually need a thicker or double wick. See the wick guide by jar diameter.

43 premium jars and one awkward remainder

A 250 g candle is usually the step up in a range: the size you add once the 200 g jar sells, priced higher and packed more carefully. Makers searching this number are typically deciding whether a 10 kg bag is a sensible unit for a new premium line.

43 does not pack neatly

43 is a prime number, which matters more than it sounds. Pack in cartons of six and you get seven full cartons and one loose candle. In fours, ten cartons and three over. Plan the order count around the carton, not the bag, and accept that one or two premium jars per bag become samples or seconds.

Use the 110 g

After 43 candles at 230 g of wax each, 10 kg leaves 110 g, the largest remainder of any size in the table. That is enough for one 100 g tester tin, which needs 92 g of wax, with 18 g to spare. Pour it in the same scent and keep it as the retained sample for that bag.

Where 250 g plans slip: The remainder is scraped out and discarded on the first bag, and on the next the allowance is eaten by residue. Keep a tester tin from every bag; it costs no extra wax and tells you later whether a batch drifted.

The cost and the wick

The wax in a 250 g candle is ₹116.70 in CSI 464 and ₹146.51 in Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468. Wider premium jars often need the thicker Eco Candle Wicks Thick (C2) at ₹9.44 rather than the thin C1 at ₹5.90, and sometimes two. Test the wick before you commit a whole bag to the new size, because a mis-wicked premium jar is the most expensive reject you can make.

Premium means packaging in heat

Premium jars often travel in rigid, closed boxes. Between April and June, a sealed box in a courier van can get very hot; soy is a natural vegetable wax and softens if it gets warm enough, and a well-scented candle can sweat. Pack with a little air space, and ask buyers not to leave parcels in the sun.

Ask CSI
Ask on WhatsApp whether the jar and wick you are considering can be bought together so you can test the pair, and confirm that the wax is the one you plan to buy in 10 kg bags.

Argue against interest
Buy the wax your candle needs, not the bag that looks professional.
We would sell more by telling you to buy 10 kg. On most of our waxes it is not cheaper per kilogram, and wax you cannot use before summer is a storage problem.
Price the candle, not the kilogram.

Why trust this guide

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.
