What moves the price
For cone, 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.
Published wholesale pricing for 1g/109mm cones is usually shown per case or tower rather than per single cone, so the most realistic U.S.-facing route is factory-direct/custom-cone suppliers with case-based discounts. The clearest published ladder found was Custom Cones USA’s 800-count case pricing at $0.10 per cone for 1–5 cases, $0.092 at 6–11, $0.087 at 12–23, $0.081 at 24–47, $0.075 at 48–95, and $0.067 at 96+ cases; higher-volume factory-direct custom cone pricing was published by HIGHER at $0.060, $0.050, and $0.046 at 250K, 500K, and 1M+ units. Price moves most with paper type/material, cone size/length, and whether print is custom or stock; child-resistant caps and premium tubes typically push pricing above the base cone-only figures
