What moves the price
For cleaning pail, the drivers are capacity, material, dispensing opening, lid type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Pricing is most affected by capacity, resin choice (HDPE versus heavier-duty plastic), lid or wringer type, and whether the quote is for plain stock or custom-printed pails. Realistic sourcing routes are industrial pail distributors and packaging wholesalers for the lower tiers, then import/landed-equivalent quotes or direct factory runs for the larger tiers. The quoted sources show typical 5-gallon pail wholesale pricing in the mid-$5 to mid-$6 range at pallet quantities, with cheaper landed-equivalent prices becoming plausible at higher import volumes.
