Melamine Tray: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.45 at volume, on a typical 15-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 melamine tray, the drivers are material grade, size, shape, handle style, print method, edge finish, MOQ, steel grade — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes cluster around $0.36-$0.45 at 5,000+ units for simple custom melamine trays, while more typical custom-printed or larger formats land closer to $0.59-$1.20 at 1,000-20,000 units. The main price drivers are tray size/shape, print complexity, and MOQ; premium finished trays from US distributors sit far above factory-direct pricing, so realistic sourcing is via China OEM/ODM or import-freight landed offers rather than domestic stockists. Lead times on quoted factory pages are commonly about 10-20 days off-season, with peak-season production extending to 1-3 months.
