Paint Can: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.10 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.09 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 paint 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.
Real supplier pricing for paint cans varies most by capacity, lining/epoxy or phenolic treatment, and whether the can is a plain unlined stock item or a custom-printed specialty pack. U.S.-facing distributors such as The Cary Company and Basco show higher domestic wholesale pricing for smaller MOQs, while China-based trade listings show much lower FOB pricing at 7,200+ units and 10,000+ units. For custom-printed mid-range configurations, the most realistic routes are U.S. distributors for urgent/smaller buys and direct import/OEM suppliers for 5,000+ units, with landed cost usually moving closer to the lower end as volume rises.
