Plastic Vial: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.48 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.12 at volume, on a typical 21-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 vial, the drivers are capacity, glass type, stopper compatibility, sterility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Public wholesale pricing for glass vials spans from about $0.28-$0.56 each at 1,000-10,000 units from commodity suppliers, with larger-volume or landed-import pricing trending lower toward roughly $0.08-$0.16 at 100,000+ units. The biggest price drivers are vial size/capacity, glass type (flint vs amber), closure specification (standard cap vs child-resistant), and whether custom print/labeling is included; those premium features move pricing upward from commodity catalog levels. Realistic sourcing routes are US wholesale catalog suppliers for short lead times and import/landed-equivalent sourcing for the lowest 25k+ and 100k+ tiers, especially for custom-printed cannabis packaging.
