What moves the price
For plastic foam insert, the drivers are roll dimensions, material, cushion rating, recyclability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for custom foam inserts is sparse, but a US-facing supplier lists $0.40 at 500–4,999 pieces, $0.29 at 5,000–9,999, and $0.19 at 10,000+ pieces. These numbers are most realistic for standardized die-cut or molded PE/EPE-style inserts with simple printing and medium complexity; EVA, PU, higher-density, or tighter-tolerance inserts usually price higher. Material choice, thickness/roll or sheet dimensions, cut complexity, and sustainability/recycled-content requirements are the main cost drivers, and import quotations on marketplaces suggest wider ranges when specs are less standardized.
