What moves the price
For plastic tubes, the drivers are child-resistance mechanism, regulatory market, material, tube diameter, custom print, closure type, child resistance, diameter — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for plastic tubes clusters around about $0.05-$0.10 per unit at 500-5,000 units, with lower quotes near $0.06 at 10,000+ and some import listings as low as $0.015-$0.035 FOB at 1,000+ pieces. Real supplier routes that match these prices are US-facing -packaging wholesalers (for example, Cannaline, Packlahoma, Biohazard, CoolJarz, Royal Supply) and direct-import marketplaces like Made-in-China; custom print, child-resistant caps, and thicker-wall or specialty formats push prices upward. The biggest cost drivers are customization level, closure type, material thickness, and whether the tube is plain stock or custom printed; true 100,000+ pricing is usually negotiated case-by-case and is often import-driven rather than shown as a standard published web price
