What moves the price
For beer aluminum 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.
For 16 oz beverage-alcohol cans, pricing is driven most by decoration method, lining/specification (brite vs printed, BPANI/epoxy, etc.), and whether you are buying palletized stock or factory-direct custom production. Realistic wholesale routes are US beverage packaging distributors for pallet/half-pallet stock and Alibaba/China direct import for very large runs; trade suppliers in the US commonly quote pallet pricing around the low-$0.20s per can, while import marketplace quotes for 100,000+ units can fall into the $0.05-$0.10 range before freight and duty. Custom-printed or specialty-lined cans usually price above blank brite stock, and the 5,000+ tiers are the first places where published wholesale quotes become more representative than small-case retail packaging prices.
