Plastic Bin: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.35 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.28 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 plastic bin, the drivers are capacity, material, locking mechanism, wall-mounted or recessed, refill format, chemical compatibility, lid type, UN rating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing for plastic storage bins spans from about $1.54–$3.00/unit at 1,000-piece MOQs for stackable bins to $4.30–$4.70/unit for larger heavy-duty bins at 5,000+ pieces, with some wholesale retail sites showing much higher per-unit prices for smaller packed quantities. The biggest price drivers are size, wall thickness/material weight, whether the bin is clear or heavy-duty, and whether the source is a U.S. wholesale reseller versus a factory-direct import listing. Realistic supplier routes are U.S. wholesale distributors for stocked bins and China/OEM factory-direct platforms for custom-printed or branded runs; landed-equivalent pricing is usually closer to factory-direct quotes than domestic reseller shelf prices.
