What moves the price
For cutlery set, the drivers are alloy, temper, thickness, width, length, surface condition, pack count, bag material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier listings for compostable cutlery sets show roughly $0.045–$0.063 per set at 500-piece cartons, $0.01–$0.08 at 10,000+ pieces depending on material and packaging, and lower imported FOB-style pricing for very large factory orders. The main price drivers are material (CPLA, cornstarch, wood/bamboo), whether the set is bulk or individually wrapped, and whether printing or custom packaging is included. US-facing wholesale distributors tend to be higher than direct-import factory listings, so the realistic routes are domestic wholesale packs for smaller tiers and China-based OEM/ODM suppliers for 10k+ tiers.
