What moves the price
For 500mL aluminum bottle, 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.
For a mid-range custom-printed 500 mL aluminum bottle, the biggest price drivers are decoration method (print, label, coating, or anodizing), lining/food-grade interior treatment, closure/end diameter compatibility, and whether the quote is EXW, FOB, or landed into the US. Real supplier routes that fit this product are direct OEM bottle manufacturers in China with MOQ-based tier pricing, US-facing wholesale bottle distributors for smaller buys, and marketplace/import listings that can anchor landed-equivalent pricing. The 500 mL specific supplier quotes and published bulk pricing in the results cluster around about $1.00-$1.30 EXW at 2,000 units, about $0.89 at 30,000 units, and about $0.66 at 100,000+ units, while US-facing retail/wholesale listings sit much higher for packaged goods rather than empty custom bottles.
