Bowl: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.056 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 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 bowl, the drivers are capacity, material, lid compatibility, temperature rating, clarity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale quotes for 16 oz bowls cluster around $0.042/unit FOB Xiamen for a 500 ml kraft paper bowl and around $0.03–$0.07/unit for 16 oz kraft paper bowl runs at 500-piece batches, with made-in-China listings dropping to about $0.029 at 30,000-piece MOQs. Price is mainly driven by material stack (kraft paper with PE/PLA versus molded fiber versus PP plastic), lid compatibility, and whether the quote includes printing, coating, or full-carton mix assumptions. Realistic supplier routes are Chinese packaging factories/marketplaces for custom-printed import pricing, or US foodservice distributors for much higher stocked-case pricing rather than true custom-manufactured unit economics.
