What moves the price
For automotive fluid jug, the drivers are capacity, material, handle type, UN rating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale container pricing for plastic jugs is most often quoted by capacity and finish, with HDPE, handle style, and UN rating moving price materially; UN-rated or heavier-duty jugs cost more than plain industrial jugs. Realistic supplier routes are packaging wholesalers and container distributors for the jug itself, or chemical/fleet suppliers when buying a filled product on a pallet and backing out landed-equivalent container cost. The 500-999 and 1000-4999 tiers are anchored by published wholesale jug and container pricing, while larger tiers are inferred from lower unit pricing shown on bulk/container and commodity-style wholesale listings, so the upper tiers are less certain.
