A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.35 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.54 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.

What moves the price
For food can, the drivers are material, compartment count, lid type, insert type, print method, finish, plating, opening geometry — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pet-food pricing shows small canned pet-food units commonly retailing around $4.26 each at 24/case, while broader wholesale/marketplace references put canned wet pet food in the roughly $0.80–$3.00 per can range depending on formulation and channel. For an actual custom-manufactured 3 oz can, the biggest price drivers are the fill specification, can coating/lining, and whether the label is printed on-can, shrink-sleeved, or applied as a paper label; custom-labeled short-run work usually sits toward the top of the range, while high-volume private-label or landed-import supply can reach the lower tiers. Realistic supplier routes are co-packers and pet-food canners for branded custom runs, or import/distributor lots for lower-cost landed equivalents; lead times commonly run several weeks to a couple of months depending on artwork, approvals, and production queue.
