Buy 500 Candle Wicks Online in India

What 500 wicks cost, and the ways to buy them

At 500 the question stops being "which pack?" and becomes "which combination?" — because a festive run rarely uses one wick. The table shows the listed cost of 500 wicks bought as one pack, as five 100-packs and as ten 50-packs, alongside the per-wick price. Where a wick isn't listed at 500, the table says so and shows the listed combinations.

The practical meaning is freeing. On Eco and Cotton Braided wicks, the 500-pack is a convenience, not a discount: one bag instead of five, one line on the invoice. If your range needs 300 of one size and 200 of another, buying 100-packs by size costs exactly the per-wick rate of the 500-packs. On wooden wicks the opposite is true — the combination matters, and 500 bought in 10-packs costs ₹8,850 more than the same 500 in 100-packs.

Four products cover a 500-wick order. The Eco card below shows only the 500-packs; the Cotton Braided and wooden cards show every listed pack so the step to 500 is visible.

Splitting 500 wicks across jar sizes

A 500-candle festive range is often a mix — an everyday jar, a gift jar, perhaps one premium hero. Each vessel needs its own proven wick, and each wick count needs rounding to listed packs. The table shows four example range splits. The jar-to-wick pairings are examples of what a test might select, except where a page states the pairing: the coloured 200ml Salsa jars state C2, and Cotton Braided states candles over 8 cm.

The last column is not a penalty for splitting — it is the cost of the wicks the range actually needs. The split order costs more than 500 C1 wicks only because some candles genuinely need a thicker, wider or wooden wick. The mistake would be the reverse: buying one 500-pack of C1 because it is cheapest, then forcing it into jars it was never tested in.

The Diwali timeline for 500 candles

Soy container candles are commonly cured for 14–21 days before they are at their best; fresh and citrus blends tend to settle sooner, while woody and gourmand oils keep improving towards three weeks — the family-by-family picture is in how cure time changes the smell of different fragrance families. Working back from Diwali, the table shows two realistic tracks for a 500-candle run from where the calendar stands now. Delivery time to your pincode is not included — confirm it when you order.

Track B works, but it has no slack: if the first burn test fails and you need a second round with a different wick, the run slips past a full cure. Two ways to protect it. First, keep burning the spare test jar to the bottom while the bulk order is on its way, and hold the pour if the bottom third misbehaves. Second, weight Track B's range towards faster-curing scents so the late finish affects fewer candles.

Stickers, holders and care labels for 500

At 500 candles the small consumables become real line items, and one of them is currently constrained by stock. The table costs what a 500-candle run needs besides the wicks.

Stickers add ₹2.50 to every candle, which puts the fixed-wick cost at ₹8.40 for C1 and ₹11.94 for C2 across the run. Holders are sized to the pour, not the run: 50 holders let you pour 500 candles in ten rounds of 50; 25 holders make it twenty rounds. A larger holder set shortens the festive pouring window, which matters most on Track B. The Candle Care Stickers Roll is the one item where 500 is an exact fit — a single ₹413 roll labels the whole run, though check the 1 inch size against your jar and packaging.

Wooden wicks at 500: five 100-packs or a quote

Performance Wooden Wicks are listed in packs of 10, 50 and 100, so 500 is a combination at listed prices. Five 100-packs are ₹20,650 — ₹41.30 a wick, the lowest listed wooden price. Ten 50-packs would be ₹23,600 and fifty 10-packs ₹29,500. That is the ceiling for 500 wooden wicks; for an order that size, message CSI on WhatsApp first and ask for a quote, stating the quantity and when you need the wicks on your bench.

Before you get there, check the arithmetic of a wooden range. With a ₹2.50 sticker, a wooden wick is ₹43.80 per candle against ₹11.94 for C2 — ₹31.86 more on every candle, or ₹15,930 across 500. That is a pricing decision: the wooden-wick candles need to sell for at least that much more, per candle, than their cotton-wick equivalents. For most festive ranges, a smaller wooden line — 50 or 100 hero candles in the gift box — carries the look without committing the whole run to it. The wooden range, holders and test protocol in detail are in the wooden candle wick wholesale guide.

One 500-pack or staged 100s?

Because Eco and Cotton Braided prices are flat, staging a 500-wick order into 100s costs nothing extra at listed prices. The choice is about cash, risk and the calendar.

For a festive run specifically, the calendar usually settles it. Once the wick is proven and pouring starts, a reorder that arrives late stops production in the one window that can't move — so for Track A, order the full split at once. Staging makes more sense for year-round production at 500 a month, where the next reorder date is not fixed by a festival. At 1,000 wicks and beyond, storage and handling become the main questions, covered in buying 1,000 candle wicks wholesale; the full raw-material picture for this quantity is in raw materials required to make 500 candles.
