Metallized Film: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.72 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.30 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 metallized film, the drivers are gauge, material, shrink ratio, clarity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Public supplier benchmarks show co-extrusion barrier film at about US$3.00-4.00/kg at 500 kg and US$1.30-1.60/kg at 1,000 kg, while a barrier-film procurement guide shows ex-works costs of roughly US$0.38-1.35/m² depending on structure and barrier level. For a mid-range custom-printed coffee/tea barrier film, the biggest price drivers are structure (e.g., PET/NY/PE vs VMPET/NY/PE), barrier layer choice, thickness, print coverage, and peel/seal performance; converting from kilogram or square-meter benchmarks suggests landed-equivalent pricing in the ranges above for realistic wholesale MOQs. The most realistic supplier routes are packaging converters and direct film manufacturers quoting by structure and width, rather than retail pouch sellers or generic marketplace listings.
