What moves the price
For thick wall compact, the drivers are pan size, mirror, hinge type, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For cosmetic thick-wall compacts, the biggest cost drivers are mold ownership/tooling, cavity count, material choice (PP/ABS/aspect finish), and decoration features like mirror, hinge, and custom printing. Realistic routes are US-facing wholesale packaging distributors for stock-like thick-wall jars/compacts and direct import/OEM factories for true custom compact shells; the lowest quoted bulk pricing in the evidence comes from wholesale plastic jar suppliers, while larger-volume tiers are best treated as landed-equivalent extrapolations from bulk packaging pricing. Lead times for custom OEM cosmetic packaging are typically several weeks after artwork approval and tooling signoff, with faster replenishment possible from domestic distributors for stock-format items.
