Carafe: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $4.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.40 at volume, on a typical 45-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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $4.50 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $3.40 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $3.10 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $2.90 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $2.60 |
| 100,000+ units | $2.40 |
What moves the price
For carafe, the drivers are capacity, neck finish, glass weight, punt depth, color — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale references for 1L carafe-like vessels cluster around low single-digit FOB pricing from Asian manufacturers, with Made-in-China listings showing 1,000+ unit tiers around US$2.20–US$2.90 for insulated 1L carafes and Alibaba glass-carafe bulk listings in the low-to-mid US$3 range before shipping. US-facing trade channels for branded or imported finished carafes are much higher, so the realistic route for a custom-printed mid-range 1L beverage-alcohol carafe is direct import/OEM glass packaging sourcing rather than domestic stockware. Price moves most with glass weight and finish complexity, then decoration, color, and whether the item is a simple carafe/decanter versus a heavier, custom-molded bottle with special punt depth or closure.
