500mL Carafe: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $3.45 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.85 at volume, on a typical 45-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For 500mL carafe, the drivers are capacity, neck finish, glass weight, punt depth, color — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for 500 mL glass carafe-style containers are sparse, so the best public evidence comes from marketplace quotations and adjacent bulk glass-container pricing. Alibaba-style supplier quotes show a clear step-down from 100–999 pieces to 1,000+ pieces, while the commodity-glass suppliers and foodservice distributors indicate that weight, decoration, and closure/finish are the main drivers of cost; custom printing, heavier glass, and special neck finishes push prices up, while plain clear stock shapes are cheaper. Realistic routes are Chinese OEM/ODM factories for custom-manufactured bottles/carafes, or US-facing distributors/importers for stock items and landed-equivalent comparisons.
