How Many 300 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.
300 g candles use wax quickly: 10 kg makes 36. They also usually need a different wick.
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 300 g candle
| Wax | 10 kg cost | Wax per candle |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹5,074.00 | ₹140.94 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹4,248.00 | ₹118.00 |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹3,992.00 | ₹110.89 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹5,990.00 | ₹166.39 |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹6,370.00 | ₹176.94 |
At 300 g (wide jars and long-burn candles), each candle holds 276 g of wax and 24 g of oil. 10 kg makes 36 candles, with 64 g of wax left over.
Budgeting a 10 kg bag for the wick tests 300 g candles need
A 300 g candle is a long-burn luxury jar, and at this size the wick decides whether a customer buys a second one. Too thin and it tunnels, leaving a wall of unburned wax. Too thick and it smokes, soots the glass and overheats the jar. The maker searching this is usually about to find out which.
Testing eats into the 36
10 kg makes 36 candles at 300 g. Wick testing takes a share of those before any go on sale. Test three wick options with two candles each and that is six candles, or 6 × 276 g = 1,656 g of wax, about a sixth of the bag. Plan the first bag as 30 saleable candles, not 36.
Burn tests at this size take time, because a wide pool needs hours to reach the edge. Test in the kind of room and season your customers will burn in; a pool that behaves on a cool December evening can run hotter in May.
One thick wick or two thin ones
CSI lists Eco Candle Wicks Thick (C2) at ₹9.44 and Thin (C1) at ₹5.90. A wide jar often needs either one thick wick or two, and a two-wick jar needs twice the wicks you first counted. Two C1 wicks cost a little more than one C2, and centring a pair takes more care. Neither option suits every jar; your jar diameter and your wax decide.
The wax is not where to save
At 300 g, the wax is ₹140.04 per candle in CSI 464 and ₹117.24 in Natural Soy Pearl Wax. A properly tested wick does more for that candle than a cheaper wax would, because a jar that tunnels leaves much of the wax you paid for sitting unburned in the glass.

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.
