100 jars at 200 g: check the jar before you buy the wax
This page is for a single, known order: one fragrance, one jar, 100 pieces. Perhaps a café wants its own candle on the counter, or a wedding family has asked for 100 matching jars as return gifts. With a fixed count, the one thing that can wreck the plan is whether your jar is really a 200 g jar.
Weigh a finished candle first
Jars are sold by nominal size, and makers fill to different heights. Before ordering, do a real test pour to your chosen line and weigh the finished candle minus the empty jar. That number, not the label, is your fill weight.
Say it comes out at 220 g. Each candle then needs 220 × 0.92 = 202.4 g of wax. For 100 candles that is 20.24 kg, and with 5% about 21.3 kg. The pack plan above buys 19.5 kg, so you would run dry after roughly 91 jars (19.5 kg ÷ 1.05 ÷ 202.4 g).
Where the test pour comes from
Use a 1 kg bag for testing. At 200 g it makes five candles, enough to check the fill weight, try the wick and burn one all the way down. If you already hold the full order, take the test pours out of it and remember that they come off the 100.
The small bag at the end
The plan above ends with a 500 g bag. It is ₹260.00, or ₹520.00 per kg, a little dearer than the ₹507.40 per kg of the larger CSI 464 packs. If your real fill weight pushes you higher, swapping that 500 g bag for a 1 kg bag costs little more and gives you a buffer.
Wicks are the cheapest insurance on the list. Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) are ₹5.90 each, so ordering a few beyond 102 to cover mis-set wicks is worth it.

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.
