Foam Insert: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.26 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.08 at volume, on a typical 21-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 foam insert, the drivers are roll dimensions, material, cushion rating, recyclability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale and marketplace quotes for cosmetic sponges cluster around about $0.11–$0.26/unit at 2,000–5,000 piece MOQs, with some ready-to-ship or low-MOQ offers nearer $0.30–$0.60 and branded US wholesale packs far above that. Price moves most with foam formulation (latex-free, biodegradable, hydrophilic), custom printing, density/softness, shape/size, and whether the order includes packaging or holder components. Realistic supply routes are China-based OEM/ODM marketplaces for custom bulk, US-facing import/wholesale brokers for landed small-to-mid lots, and domestic wholesalers only if you accept much higher per-unit pricing.
