Golden Brand 464 Soy Wax Flakes, All Natural Soy Wax Wholesale Wax for Candle Making Supplies, 45 LB, White, GW-464 Review (2026)

Who the wholesale 45 LB pack fits

This listing is Golden Wax GW-464, the same soy container wax sold under the Golden Brands name, packaged here in a 45 LB wholesale case and labeled white. It is built for candle shops and Etsy sellers who need a steady, large supply of a consistent wax rather than restocking every few weeks. Because 464 is one of the most common soy waxes used in the hobby, sellers switching suppliers can usually reuse their existing fragrance loads, cure times, and wick charts without starting from scratch. The white flakes take dye cleanly, which matters for shops selling pastel or brightly colored candles alongside natural, undyed lines. Anyone pouring only a few candles a year will find this size excessive, both in cost per box and in the dry storage space a 45 LB case takes up in a closet or garage.

Wax characteristics behind the GW-464 name

GW-464 is an all-natural, paraffin-free soy wax made from soybeans, with a melt point most sources put around 115 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. That soft melt point is part of why 464 is popular for container candles, since it adheres well to glass and tends to produce fewer wet spots along the jar wall than harder soy blends. The wax carries a soy-based additive intended to cut down on surface frosting and to support fragrance loads that several sources put in the 8 to 10 percent range. It is generally treated as a single-pour wax, so most standard jar sizes will set with one pour rather than needing a top-off layer once the first pour shrinks. It blends with paraffin, slack wax, and microcrystalline wax, but manufacturer guidance advises against blending it with beeswax.

Handling a wholesale case in a real workspace

Melting follows the usual soy routine: heat the flakes in a double boiler or dedicated wax melter to around 185 degrees Fahrenheit to fully dissolve fragrance and dye, then let it cool before pouring in the 130 to 145 degree range with wicks already centered in your jars. A 45 LB case is heavy, so most sellers portion it into smaller bins or bags after opening rather than lifting the whole case to the pour station each session. Keep the wax in a cool, dry spot away from direct sun, since soy wax can be affected by heat and humidity over long storage periods between big production runs. Wick sizing still needs its own testing per jar diameter and fragrance load, since no wax performs the same across every container, and manufacturer wick guidance should be your starting point.

How this listing compares to other 464 options

The same GW-464 wax also appears as a plain 45 lb box without the wholesale white branding, and in a smaller 10lb bag from InYourNature that throws in ten pre-waxed cotton wicks for beginners. If your priority is buying in bulk from a source explicitly marketed to wholesale buyers, this listing is a direct match; if you want a few wicks included to start testing right away, the smaller bundled bag is the easier first purchase. Compared with paraffin container waxes, 464 trades away some single-pour glass clarity and peak hot throw for a plant-based wax many customers specifically look for when shopping soy candles, which is worth weighing against your own customer base.

Verdict

Choose this wholesale case if you run a candle business or sell at markets regularly and want a large, consistent supply of a wax with a long track record among soy candle makers. It is not the right pick for someone testing candle making as a new hobby, since the size and the dry storage it needs only make sense once you are pouring often. As with any wax, follow the fragrance house and wick manufacturer instructions for maximum safe fragrance load and burn testing before candles from this wax go to customers or family.
