What moves the price
For plastic canister, the drivers are gas flush system, container material, oxygen barrier, closure type, child-resistant feature, freshness retention, print method, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for plastic tubes is usually quoted as case pricing or quantity breaks, with child-resistant caps, odor/smell-proof features, and custom print pushing prices up. US-facing routes like CoolJarz, Biohazard Inc, Cannaline, PackLahoma, and Packaging show realistic wholesale bands around the low cents-per-unit range, while overseas marketplace listings (e.g. Made-in-China/DHgate) indicate lower FOB-style prices at higher MOQs. The most price-sensitive variables are child resistance, custom decoration, and whether the tube is a standard clear/opaque stock item versus a custom molded or printed version
