How Many 150 g Candles Can I Make With 10 Kg Wax?
शेयर करना
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.
150 g is a common gifting jar. Here is what 10 kg makes at that size and what each costs.
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 150 g candle
| Wax | 10 kg cost | Wax per candle |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹5,074.00 | ₹70.47 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹4,248.00 | ₹59.00 |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹3,992.00 | ₹55.44 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹5,990.00 | ₹83.19 |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹6,370.00 | ₹88.47 |
At 150 g (small gifting jars), each candle holds 138 g of wax and 12 g of oil. 10 kg makes 72 candles, with 64 g of wax left over.
72 gifting jars and the hamper that holds them
The 150 g jar is the size that goes into gift boxes: beside dry fruit at Diwali, in a Karwa Chauth hamper, or with a mug and a card in a corporate kit. The maker searching this is often packing for someone else's box, and that box has fixed dimensions and a fixed count.
The box fixes the jar, the jar fixes the fill
Hamper companies specify the jar that fits their insert. Do not assume that jar holds 150 g of candle. Pour one, weigh it, and plan on that fill weight. If it holds 160 g instead, each candle takes 160 × 0.92 = 147.2 g of wax and 10 kg makes 67, not 72. Five fewer candles per bag is easy to miss until you are counting jars at midnight.
Cost per gift jar
At 150 g, the wax is ₹70.02 per jar in CSI 464, ₹58.62 in Natural Soy Pearl Wax and ₹55.06 in Eco Soy CSI 400. Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 is ₹87.91 and states a fragrance load of up to 13%, useful if you later want a stronger scent in a small jar. Oil at 12 g per jar means one kilogram of oil scents 83 jars, so a 1 kg bottle comfortably covers one 10 kg bag.
Travelling in a hamper
A candle in a hamper sits in a closed box, often beside food, sometimes in a warehouse before it reaches anyone. Heat can make a heavily scented jar sweat, and oil on the surface can mark tissue paper or a card. Let the candles cure fully, wipe the rims and keep the lids tight. Frosting on soy in humid weather is cosmetic, but a hamper buyer may still query it, so show them a frosted sample in advance.
