Planning 100 candles for a first stall or gifting order
If you are searching for 100 candles, you are probably not running a factory. You are filling a table at a weekend market, or you have promised a friend's shop, a school fete or a family function a batch of gifts.
A stall is never one size
Market tables sell a mix. Suppose you plan 40 tins at 100 g, 40 jars at 200 g and 20 wide jars at 300 g. The wax is 40 × 92 g + 40 × 184 g + 20 × 276 g = 3,680 g + 7,360 g + 5,520 g, or 16.56 kg. Add 5% and you need about 17.4 kg. That falls between the 150 g and 200 g rows, so cost a mixed stall from your own size mix.
Small runs lose more to the pot
Pot residue does not shrink with the order. The film left in a jug after every pour is much the same whether you made ten candles or forty, so a maker melting in several short sessions loses proportionally more than a studio melting 10 kg at once. The 5% allowance is a planning figure. If you melt in many small pots, note what actually came back and adjust the next order.
Heat, rain and a table outdoors
An outdoor stall in April or May can sit in 40°C sun. Heavily scented soy candles can sweat in that heat, and a pillar can slump. Keep stock shaded and boxed until it goes on the table. In the monsoon, frosting on soy is cosmetic, but buyers at a stall judge by eye, so set a few clean display pieces aside.
Unsold stock is the other risk. If the stall is a trial, buy the wax for the first 100 and wait to see what sold before reordering. CSI 464 costs the same per kilogram at 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg, so staging a small order costs you nothing on price.
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-944 (wax for 100 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.
