What moves the price
For 90mm tube, the drivers are tube length, cap style, material, child-resistant certification, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For 90mm custom-printed tubes, the biggest cost drivers are child-resistant cap style, material (plastic vs glass), and print method; published wholesale listings show simple stock tubes around $0.055-$0.075/unit at low-volume case buys, with Chinese factory quotes for custom CR tubes dropping to roughly $0.015-$0.035/unit at 1,000+ pieces and $0.02-$0.09/unit at 10,000+ pieces. US-facing routes that are realistic are wholesale packaging distributors for stocked tubes plus label application or branding services, while direct import/manufacturer sourcing is the main path to sub-$0.05 unit costs at 10k+ volumes. Lead times are typically longer for custom print and imported product than for stock tubes, so about 30 days is a reasonable mid-range estimate for a custom order
