1,000 candles at 300 g needs close to 300 kg of wax with wastage. At that size the plan is about quotes, storage and delivery staging.

Full core-materials list
| Item | Quantity | Buy | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | 1,000 × 276 g + 5% = 289.8 kg | 29 × 10 kg | ₹1,47,146.00 |
| Sandalwood fragrance oil | 1,000 × 24.0 g + 5% = 25.20 kg | 26 × 1 kg | ₹1,30,696.80 |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thick (C2) | 1,000 + 2% spare | 1,020 wicks | ₹9,628.80 |
| Core materials | ₹2,87,471.60 |
That is ₹287.47 of core materials per candle, before the jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST.
Split it into batches
At 10 kg per melt, 289.8 kg is 29 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.
Storing and staging nearly 300 kg of wax
At 1,000 candles of 300 g, you are a manufacturer whether you call yourself one or not. The wax alone is 29 bags of 10 kg. Before you ask for a price, answer a plainer question: where will 29 bags live, and for how long?
Floor space and stacking
Twenty-nine sealed bags on the floor of a ground-floor unit in July is asking for trouble. Put them on pallets or racks, clear of outside walls, in the coolest dry room you have. CSI 464 states a shelf life of 60 months in cool, dry storage. The condition is the part to take seriously, because north and west Indian summers routinely reach 40–45°C and the monsoon brings months of humidity.
Stack so the oldest bag is always at the front. Mark the arrival date on each bag and pour first in, first out.
Stage it in tranches
There is no price reason on CSI 464 to take every bag on day one: the 10 kg bag is ₹5,074.00, the same ₹507.40 per kilogram as a single 1 kg bag. Three deliveries of, say, 10 bags, 10 bags and 9 bags keep roughly a third of the wax in your building at any time and let your cash follow your production.
The rest of the bill of materials
Wax is not the only bulk item. At 24 g per candle, 1,000 candles need 24 kg of fragrance oil, or 25.2 kg with 5%. You will need 1,000 C2 wicks plus spares, or twice that if testing shows a double wick. Then come 1,000 jars, lids, labels and outer cartons, and finally the finished candles themselves: 300 kg of wax and oil before the glass is counted. Your storage plan has to cover all of it, not only the wax.

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.

Order plans add a 5% wastage allowance (10% where stated for festive buffers). "Cheapest listed packs" is the lowest-cost combination of listed pack sizes, preferring fewer bags when prices tie within a few rupees. Candle counts are rounded down. Costs are core materials only and exclude jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST unless stated. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits.
