Metal Stillage: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $50.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $30.00 at volume, on a typical 60-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 metal stillage, the drivers are material, breathability, padding thickness, reusability, closure type, custom print, fit size, tamper resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing for stillages is mostly quote-based, but live listings show a wide band from roughly $30-$40 per unit at low wholesale minimums for foldable metal stillages, with higher-spec domestic UK retail-style listings often around £175-£290 each. The biggest price drivers are steel gauge/material, open-mesh vs solid sides, foldability/stackability, load rating, and custom features such as doors, locking, or powder coating; custom printing is less common for metal stillages than for packaging but can add cost. For US-facing buyers, the most realistic routes are direct import OEMs, industrial storage suppliers, and factory-direct trade sellers rather than stocked domestic catalog channels, because volume breaks and custom specs are usually negotiated by RFQ.
