Drink Mix: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.10 at volume, on a typical 30-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.

What moves the price
For drink mix, the drivers are protein source, added vitamins/minerals, age stage, flavor, pack size, base ingredient, sugar content, organic certification — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real published wholesale pricing for branded powdered drink mixes shows a broad market band, with standard fruit-flavored and lemonade blends commonly quoted around USD 1.50 to 4.00 per kg and premium functional powders higher; those figures are a useful proxy for mid-range custom drink mix. US-facing bulk sellers also show case-based pricing for retail-ready drink mixes, while private-label/co-manufacturing routes are the realistic path for custom-printed baby-kids formulations at scale. Final cost is most affected by formula complexity (sugar vs. low-sugar, organic, allergen-free, added flavors/colors, and any functional ingredients), plus pack format and print/packaging setup; custom MOQ runs are usually materially cheaper at higher volumes once setup costs are amortized.
