Rollstock: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.065 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.029 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 rollstock, the drivers are polymer family, oxygen barrier, sealant layer, recyclability claim, printability, fiber type, porosity, heat sealability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For rollstock used in coffee/tea packaging, the biggest price drivers are substrate structure and barrier performance: paper vs. plastic film, monolayer vs. laminated structures, compostable materials, and whether the roll is printed, heat-sealable, or specialty finished. Real supplier quotes show low-entry digital or short-run flexible packaging pricing around small MOQ pouch/film orders, while bulk roll-stock/printed film quotes are commonly published as kg-based FOB pricing, which translates to a few cents per unit only when the finished bag size is small and the roll yield is high. The most realistic sourcing routes are trade packaging converters in China and US-facing custom packaging suppliers that quote flexo/digital runs and can convert landed FOB prices into per-unit packaging costs.
