Jam: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.06 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.68 at volume. 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 jam, the drivers are flour base, sugar level, allergen-free formulation, shelf life, custom label/printing, bar weight, binder formula, inclusions — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for jam-like products are mostly case packs and bulk foodservice pails, so the most realistic route is private-label or co-packed fruit spread rather than true spot-market finished goods. Packaging is a major cost driver: jar size, glass versus plastic, closure type, and printed label/secondary pack can move unit cost materially, while fruit content, sugar level, and any inclusions also affect pricing. The strongest price anchors here are bulk jam and preserves listings from baking/foodservice suppliers plus wholesale jar/component pricing, which suggests lower costs at larger MOQs and substantially different economics for branded retail jars versus plain bulk pails.
