A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.63 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.18 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 compostable single-serve pod, the drivers are fill weight, lidding foil, filter type, machine compatibility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

Actual pricing moves most with fill weight, compostable structure (plastic-free vs. hybrid), filter media, lid material, print coverage, and whether the pod must run on Keurig-compatible lines or a proprietary format. The strongest real supplier signals here come from private-label/wholesale quote pages and marketplace listings: one private-label source shows about $2.00-$2.25 per pod at only 6,150-12,300 units, while a published US modeling study found a comparable compostable pod at $0.49/pod in a more optimized supply scenario. Realistic supplier routes are domestic private-label converters for lower MOQs and Alibaba/import OEMs for lower landed unit costs at higher volumes, but domestic US-facing wholesale pricing is usually materially higher than imported ex-factory pricing.
