What moves the price
For food pail, the drivers are capacity, material, lid compatibility, temperature rating, clarity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real published US-facing pricing found for 1-gallon tamper-evident pails clusters around $3.28-$3.90 at stock/low-wholesale quantities, with higher volumes not consistently published for this exact SKU. The main price drivers are HDPE vs. PP, handle type, lid/seal style, and whether the pail is UN-rated or food-grade; custom printing typically adds cost and is usually quoted separately by industrial packaging distributors or direct manufacturers. For larger tier pricing, realistic sourcing routes are industrial distributors with RFQ-only volume breaks, or import/landed-equivalent quotes from overseas manufacturers, but exact public quotes for this precise 1-gallon tamper-evident configuration were not available in the provided results.
