How Many Candles Can I Make With 25 Kg of Soy 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? 2.16 kg for 135 candles of 200 g.
Which wax? Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) as a default.
25 kg is not a listed pack, but it is a common festive quantity. Here is what it makes and how to buy it.
What 25 kg makes
| Candle size | Wax per candle | Candles from 25 kg | Oil needed at 8% | Wicks | Typical vessel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 92 g | 271 | 2.17 kg | 271 | tins, votives and sample jars |
| 150 g | 138 g | 181 | 2.17 kg | 181 | small gifting jars |
| 200 g | 184 g | 135 | 2.16 kg | 135 | the standard single-wick jar |
| 250 g | 230 g | 108 | 2.16 kg | 108 | larger premium jars |
| 300 g | 276 g | 90 | 2.16 kg | 90 | wide jars and long-burn candles |
No 25 kg pack is listed. Buy 2 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg of CSI 464 (₹12,685.00).
25 kg for the festive season, bought in stages
25 kg is the quantity home studios reach for when Navratri and Diwali orders start to arrive. It is not a listed pack, so you build it from bags: 2 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg of CSI 464 for ₹12,685.00. The more useful question is when to buy each part.
Test whether 25 kg is actually enough
Say you expect to sell 120 candles of 200 g across the season. CSI's planning guides add a 10% festive buffer, which takes you to 132 candles. The wax is 132 × 184 g = 24,288 g, and with 5% for losses about 25.5 kg. So 25 kg is just short. The table's 135 candles assumes no loss at all.
Stage the purchase
On CSI 464, a 10 kg bag costs the same per kilogram as a 1 kg bag, so staging carries no penalty on the listed price. A sensible split is the first 10 kg now for tests and early orders, the second 10 kg before Navratri begins on 11 October, and the last 5 kg once you can see what Dussehra on 20 October and Karwa Chauth on 29 October have done to demand. If demand is thin, you have not tied up money in wax you will carry into next year.
Natural Soy Pearl Wax behaves the same way above 1 kg: its 5 kg, 10 kg and 50 kg packs are all ₹424.80 per kilogram, so staging it costs nothing either.
Heat and humidity in the run-up
September and October can still be humid, and candles poured for Diwali sit in stock for weeks. Keep finished candles boxed and off the floor. If an order includes heavily scented jars, store them in your coolest room so they do not sweat before they are gifted.
