How Many 250 g Candles Can I Make With 10 Kg Wax?
Share
Why fewer than I expected? Because 8% of each candle is oil, a 200 g candle holds 184 g of wax.
How much oil with it? 0.86 kg for 54 candles of 200 g.
Which wax? Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) as a default.
250 g candles sit at the premium end of a range. Here is what 10 kg makes at that size.
What 10 kg makes
| Candle size | Wax per candle | Candles from 10 kg | Oil needed at 8% | Wicks | Typical vessel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 92 g | 108 | 0.86 kg | 108 | tins, votives and sample jars |
| 150 g | 138 g | 72 | 0.86 kg | 72 | small gifting jars |
| 200 g | 184 g | 54 | 0.86 kg | 54 | the standard single-wick jar |
| 250 g | 230 g | 43 | 0.86 kg | 43 | larger premium jars |
| 300 g | 276 g | 36 | 0.86 kg | 36 | wide jars and long-burn candles |
Wax cost per 250 g candle
| Wax | 10 kg cost | Wax per candle |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹5,074.00 | ₹118.00 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹4,248.00 | ₹98.79 |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹3,992.00 | ₹92.84 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹5,990.00 | ₹139.30 |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹6,370.00 | ₹148.14 |
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.
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.
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.
