Sample Vial: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.12 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.085 at volume, on a typical 30-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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.12 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.09 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.088 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.085 |
What moves the price
For sample vial, the drivers are fill volume, barrier structure, tear notch, print coverage — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing is most available for plain 2 mL glass or plastic sample vials, not fully custom-printed sachet-style packs, so the best-supported numbers come from trade listings for similar 2 mL vial formats. The biggest price drivers are barrier structure/material stack, closure or tear feature complexity, and especially print coverage because custom decoration and tooling dominate low-MOQ costs. Realistic supplier routes are China-based OEM/ODM exporters and US-facing wholesale distributors/importers; the former usually win on unit price at 5,000+ units, while US distributors are more practical for sub-5,000 quantities.
