What moves the price
For 250mL standard can, the drivers are capacity, lining, end diameter, decoration method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale and reference pricing for 250ml aluminum cans clusters around about $0.06–$0.13 per piece at large MOQs, with one supplier listing 20,000–299,999 pieces at US$0.13 and 300,000+ at US$0.06, and broader marketplace listings showing US$0.05–$0.09 for custom-printed 180–330ml cans and US$0.07–$0.10 for related bulk can listings. Price moves most with MOQ, whether the can is blank or custom-printed, and specification details like standard 202 end diameter and lining, while landed US-facing costs also depend heavily on freight and duty. Realistic supplier routes are beverage-can manufacturers and import marketplaces; US wholesalers tend to sell finished beverage stock rather than empty custom-printed cans, so imported factory-direct quotes are the most credible source for this product.
