Tin: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.25 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.19 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.25 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.19 |
What moves the price
For tin, the drivers are material, thickness, height, width, finish, edging, custom size, metal gauge — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing for -style tins is sparse; the clearest quoted tin pricing is a Made-in-China wholesale listing for child-resistant food-grade/ tins at $0.18 for 1,000-29,999 pieces, $0.17 for 30,000-99,999, and $0.15 for 100,000+. US-facing wholesale routes for similar metal packaging show materially higher per-unit pricing on small runs, with a 5-pack child-resistant tin at $0.91/unit and a 95mm black slide tin sold in a 300-case pack at $210 total, which implies a much higher landed equivalent for short runs. The main price drivers are lid mechanism/fit, child-resistant features, decoration method, inserts/dividers, and whether the item is a standard stock tin versus a fully custom printed tin; realistic sourcing is either US packaging wholesalers for low-MOQ stock items or overseas OEM/ODM tin factories for custom-printed bulk orders.
