What moves the price
For child-resistant cone, the drivers are tube length, cap style, material, child-resistant certification, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Price is driven most by child-resistant tube construction, printed decoration method, and whether the item is a standard stock tube with custom label/sticker versus a fully custom printed tube or cone. Real supplier routes that fit this market include US-facing wholesale packaging distributors for low-to-mid MOQs, and factory-direct/overseas custom suppliers for 10k+ unit runs where quotes can drop into the $0.02-$0.08 range. The strongest published evidence is for child-resistant tubes around $0.10/unit at 1,000-count retail wholesale and for factory-direct custom cones/tubes around $0.046-$0.06/unit at 250k+ units, so the ladder above blends those published points into a mid-range custom-printed estimate
