How to Compare Soy Wax Suppliers Beyond Price Per Kg
शेयर करना
Is 10 kg cheaper than 1 kg? Only for Pearl and CSI 468 on CSI's listed prices.
How do I calculate it? Wax grams (92% of fill) × price per gram.
Does bulk save money? Little on listed packs; ask for a quote above them.
Price per kilogram is the easiest thing to compare and the least useful on its own. This page is a scorecard for the rest.
The supplier scorecard
| Criterion | What to check | Score out of |
|---|---|---|
| Published spec | Load, pour temp, form, shelf life | 5 |
| Pack range | Same wax from 500 g/1 kg to bulk | 5 |
| Price per kg at your pack | Not the headline 1 kg | 5 |
| Consistency | Second bag matches the first | 5 |
| Paperwork | GST invoice | 5 |
| Support | Answers when a batch misbehaves | 5 |
| Delivery & packing | Arrives sealed and dry | 5 |
Turn the scorecard into a landed cost you can compare
A scorecard tells you which supplier you trust more. It does not tell you what each one really costs you. To compare fairly, work out a landed figure for each: what a kilogram costs by the time it reaches your workshop, on the pack you will actually buy, in a form you can use.
Compare like with like
Three things distort a per-kilogram comparison. The first is pack size: CSI's Luxury Soy Wax Chunks are cheapest per kilogram in the 500 g bag, at ₹598.00, and slightly dearer in the 10 kg bag, at ₹599.90, so the headline 1 kg price is not always the one you pay. The second is tax. The Chunks product page states that prices include taxes; check whether any other quote you hold is before or after GST, and whether a GST invoice is available, since that changes what you can reclaim. The third is delivery. One CSI reviewer wrote that "the delivery charges are very high which is restricting me". Divide the delivery charge on a typical order by its kilograms and add it to the wax price. A cheap wax with an expensive parcel is not a cheap wax.
Score the gaps in the spec, and the answers to them
No supplier publishes everything. On CSI's own pages, Pearl, Eco Soy CSI 400 and Soy Pillar Wax publish no fragrance load, Soy Pillar Wax publishes no melt point, and CSI 464's page lists 80–90°C for both melt point and pour temperature. Gaps like these are normal. What matters is whether the supplier answers clearly when you ask. Send the same two or three questions to each supplier you are comparing and score the replies. A clear, specific answer is worth more to you than a longer spec sheet.
Weight the scorecard to your business
Equal marks for every criterion suit nobody. A maker selling 30 candles a month should weight spec and support heavily and barely care about pack range. A workshop pouring every day should weight consistency and pack range above everything. Decide your weights before you score, so the result is not bent towards the supplier you already prefer.
Where this page fits
This page overlaps an older CSI guide, so it takes a narrower job and leaves the rest to that guide.

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.

Assumptions: Fragrance load 8% of total candle weight, so wax is 92% of the fill (a 200 g candle = 184 g wax + 16 g oil). 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. Pack sizes not listed on the store (2, 20, 25, 100 kg) are shown as combinations of listed packs; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
