Split it into batches
At 10 kg per melt, 193.2 kg is 20 batches. Pour the same wax, oil, load and wick in every batch, log each bag's date, and keep one candle per batch as a retained sample.
1,000 candles: fix the size before you ask for a price
At 1,000 candles the spread between sizes is enormous. The same candle count needs 96.6 kg of wax at 100 g and 289.8 kg at 300 g, three times as much. A buyer who asks "how much for 1,000 candles" without naming a size cannot be quoted sensibly, and neither can you.
Who asks this question
Makers searching for 1,000 candles usually have a new channel: a retailer, a hamper company, an event agency or a large gifting client. The first thing to agree with that customer is the fill weight, in grams, of the finished candle. A nominal jar size in millilitres is not the same thing, and a jar filled to a different line changes the wax by kilograms across 1,000 units.
An example makes the point. If a jar you thought held 200 g actually takes 210 g, each candle needs 210 × 0.92 = 193.2 g of wax, which is 9.2 g more. Across 1,000 candles that is 9.2 kg, almost a full 10 kg bag nobody budgeted for.
Staging deliveries
A few hundred kilograms of wax is a storage problem in most studios. Rather than taking the whole quantity at once, agree a staged plan: enough for your first production block, then the rest as you go. On CSI 464 the price per kilogram is the same at 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg, so splitting the order costs nothing on the listed price. The one wax with a larger listed pack, Natural Soy Pearl Wax at 50 kg, is also the same per kilogram at 5, 10 and 50 kg.
When to stop using the cart
The listed-pack costs on this page are a ceiling, not a price. Above the largest listed pack, ask for a quote. Send CSI the size, total kilograms, preferred wax and your delivery stages in one message, so the quote reflects the whole job rather than a single bag.
Where this page fits
This page overlaps an older CSI guide, so it takes a narrower job and leaves the rest to that guide. In the Candle Business series, CSI-946 (wax for 1,000 candles) covers the business side.

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.
