What moves the price
For compostable straight sided jar, the drivers are capacity, neck finish, lid type, clarity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US wholesale pricing for straight-sided jars is strongest for plastic PET jars, where large-run prices from The Cary Company and Bottlestore show roughly $0.15–$0.21 each at 10k+ and around $0.40 each for smaller cartons. Glass straight-sided jars from BottleStore, SKS Bottle, Fillmore Container, and Ktec Direct are usually sold in case packs and commonly land closer to about $0.50–$0.90 each at retail wholesale quantities, with lower pricing only at larger tiers. For a compostable custom-printed jar, the realistic routes are usually a custom thermoformed/biopolymer packaging converter or an import program from a packaging distributor; lid choice, print coverage, wall thickness, and whether the jar is truly compostable versus just PCR/bio-based material are the biggest price drivers.
