Aluminum Sheet Metal: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $110.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $75.00 at volume, on a typical 30-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 aluminum sheet metal, the drivers are mesh size, material, shade factor, roll width, roll length, uv resistance, hardness, shape — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For mid-range commercial aluminum sheet, published wholesale pricing clusters around about $2.5–$5.5/kg for standard grades, with common 4×8 sheet prices around $80–$145 depending on alloy and thickness; US-facing retailers also show materially higher per-sheet prices for cut-to-size and stocked inventory. The main price drivers are alloy/temper (for example 3003 vs 5052), thickness, finish/coating, and whether the order is mill-direct, stockholder-supplied, or cut-to-size. Realistic supplier routes are mill-direct or trading-company imports for the low end, and US stockists or service centers for faster delivery and smaller orders.
