Cones: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.39 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.06 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 cones, the drivers are foam thickness, cover material, water resistance, attachment method, noise reduction, string material, pulley vs rope style, handle design — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Prices move most with paper type/weight, tip style, print coverage, and whether the order is plain, custom-printed, or tip-upgraded; factory-direct custom cone pricing is much lower at very high runs than small-batch retail wholesale. Realistic supplier routes are domestic wholesale resellers for 500-25K units, then factory-direct custom converters/importers for 25K+; published direct pricing from HIGHER shows custom cones around $0.43 at 5K, $0.36 at 100K, and $0.046 at 1M+, while retail/wholesale packs from other suppliers commonly price much higher and are not equivalent to custom-manufactured unit economics.
