Wooden Cutlery: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.045 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.012 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.

What moves the price
For wooden cutlery, the drivers are bamboo type, finish, coating, individual wrap, length, print, size, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Price moves most with whether you are buying loose flatware, a wrapped single piece, or a kit with napkin/sleeve and custom print; factory-direct listings show plain birch/wood pieces at about $0.012-$0.02, while printed kits and short-run packaging push into roughly $0.03-$0.045 per unit. The most realistic supplier routes are China/Asia factory-direct or marketplaces for true bulk, plus US-facing distributors like PacknWood for smaller wholesale cartons, where landed-equivalent unit costs are much higher than factory-direct. MOQ also matters: the cheapest published pricing generally starts around 20,000-50,000 pieces for plain or custom-printed configurations, so the 500-4,999 tiers are usually short-run or distributor pricing rather than true factory bulk.
