What moves the price
For tin lip balm, the drivers are arch size, frame material, balloon count capacity, indoor/outdoor use, custom printed signage, chain link size, material, finish — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes for lip balm tins show EXW factory pricing around $0.15-$0.45 depending on size and MOQ, with smaller tins at the low end and larger tins at the high end. The biggest price drivers are tin size, finish/color, and decoration method; custom printing or embossing usually adds cost versus plain stock tins. Realistic sourcing routes are Chinese OEM/ODM tin manufacturers for the lowest unit cost and US-facing wholesale packaging distributors for lower-MOQ, faster-turn orders.
