What moves the price
For polyethylene film, the drivers are thickness, finish, printability, adhesive activation temperature, wash durability, clarity, matte or gloss finish, hardness — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale references show polyethylene film pricing moving mainly with thickness/weight, clarity, and whether the film is standard, high-stretch/metallocene, or custom printed; FOB-China examples range from about $0.85-$0.90 per square meter for bulk film and about $1.85-$1.89/kg for opaque/custom PE film, with higher prices for premium clarity/stretch grades. Real supplier routes that are most realistic are US-facing importers/distributors for landed pricing and direct OEM/contract manufacturing in China for custom-printed film; resin benchmarks and film-conversion costs indicate that tighter gauges, UV resistance, and better sealability push the unit price upward while large MOQs improve pricing.
