How Many Candles Can I Make With 10 Kg of Soy Wax?
Aktie
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.
10 kg is CSI's standard large pack. This is the conversion most buyers want before they order it.
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 |
One 10 kg bag, several candle sizes
Buyers asking about 10 kg are rarely making one size. They are about to order the standard large bag and want to know whether it will cover next month's mix of tins, jars and a few big pieces. The table gives each size on its own. Real orders blend them.
A mixed month from one bag
Take a realistic month: 20 jars at 200 g, 30 tins at 100 g and 10 large jars at 300 g. The wax is 20 × 184 g + 30 × 92 g + 10 × 276 g = 3,680 g + 2,760 g + 2,760 g, or 9,200 g. That leaves 800 g of the bag, which is 8%, more than the 5% allowance. The bag covers the month with room for a stray tin or two.
Change the mix to 20 large jars instead of 10 and it no longer fits: the wax rises to 11,960 g. The size mix, not the candle count, decides whether one bag is enough.
Which 10 kg bag
On CSI 464 the 10 kg bag is ₹5,074.00, exactly ten times the 1 kg price. On Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, the 10 kg bag at ₹5,999.00 costs ₹9 more than two 5 kg bags, so two 5 kg bags are the better buy. Eco Soy CSI 400 has no 10 kg bag; two 5 kg bags cost ₹3,992.00. For 10 kg, Natural Soy Pearl Wax is ₹4,248.00 and CSI 468 is ₹6,370.00.
Keeping a big bag in good shape
Ten kilograms is heavy to lift and awkward to reseal. Some makers decant it on arrival into smaller sealed containers, labelled with product and date, so only one portion is open at a time. That keeps dust, damp and stray fragrance off the rest of the wax through the monsoon.

"Cheapest listed packs" is the lowest-cost combination of listed pack sizes, preferring fewer bags when prices tie within a few rupees. Candle counts are rounded down. Costs are core materials only and exclude jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST unless stated. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits.
