What moves the price
For safety can, the drivers are capacity, material, lid type, labeling, color, puncture resistance, certification, regulatory standard — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing pricing is sparse for true custom-manufactured plastic safety cans, so the usable anchors are mostly distributor/list-price signals from safety-cans sellers and wholesale container suppliers. The biggest cost drivers are FM/UL approval, Type I vs. Type II construction, capacity, and metal/valve/spout hardware; custom printing usually adds setup cost rather than changing the underlying can price much. Realistic sourcing routes are Justrite/authorized safety-equipment distributors for approved cans, or import/private-label container suppliers if you need lower unit cost at higher volumes.
