Fork: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.18 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.016 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 fork, the drivers are bamboo type, finish, coating, individual wrap, length, print, size, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published U.S.-facing wholesale prices for finished plastic forks cluster around $0.11/unit at 600 ct and roughly $0.016–$0.045/unit at 1,000+ units for bulk boxed disposable forks, while factory-direct bamboo/wood cutlery quotes commonly start around $0.013–$0.018 for plain forks at 50,000-piece MOQs and rise with FSC status, sleeves, and printing. The biggest price movers are material (plastic vs. bamboo/wood), individual wrapping, and custom print/branding; handle design and coating matter mainly for premium reusable or tabletop flatware. Realistic supplier routes are restaurant-supply wholesalers for low-MOQ plastic forks and factory-direct/import channels for bamboo or wooden custom-printed forks at 10k+ units.
