Cup Lid: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.045 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.009 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 cup lid, the drivers are diameter, material, vent type, fit — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing for condiment/portion cup lids clusters around $0.0125–$0.026 per piece at 2,500-piece and case-purchase levels, with higher pricing on smaller case quantities and lower pricing from China/marketplace wholesale listings. The biggest price drivers are lid material and fit (PET/PP, 2 oz vs 3.25–4 oz), whether the lid is plain or custom-printed, and whether it is sourced from a US distributor versus direct import. For realistic wholesale routes, US foodservice distributors and specialty packaging suppliers fit the low-volume tiers, while OEM/import quotes from China or factory-direct packagers are the main way to reach the lowest unit costs at 10k+ quantities.
