What moves the price
For plastic shot cup, the drivers are board weight, cup size, print colors, grease resistance, rim reinforcement, MOQ, coating, lid fit — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings show the biggest price swing comes from MOQ and whether the cup is a plain stock item or a custom-printed/custom-color version; custom print and lid-fit options push pricing up while large factory MOQs pull it down. Mid-range realistic sourcing routes are US-facing distributors for small runs, and China OEM/import listings for 10k+ quantities where per-unit prices drop sharply. Grease resistance, rim reinforcement, and coating are usually treated as spec upgrades, so they raise cost relative to plain clear/disposable shot cups.
