What moves the price
For beer cup, the drivers are capacity, wall type, lining, lid compatibility, print coverage — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing indicates beer-cup costs are driven most by material and format: disposable plastic/PP or PET event cups are far cheaper than glass beer mugs or decorated reusable cups, and custom printing, lids, and higher wall thickness move prices up. Realistic sourcing routes are US wholesale beverage-container distributors for smaller runs, or import/marketplace suppliers for 5,000+ units where pricing falls sharply; landed cost for imported cups can still be materially above FOB once freight, duty, and defects are included.
