What moves the price
For plastic foam block, the drivers are roll dimensions, material, cushion rating, recyclability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published marketplace quotes for foam/EPS blocks cluster from about $0.18–$0.24 per piece at 100-piece MOQs and around $0.50–$0.80 per piece for related foam-block listings, with much higher prices on smaller consumer-oriented listings. The biggest price drivers are foam type (EPS vs. PE/XPE), density/cushion rating, block dimensions, and whether the order is stock cut-to-size or custom-molded/custom-printed. Realistic supplier routes are Alibaba/Made-in-China style OEMs for custom or high-volume imports, or US-facing wholesale distributors for stock shapes and smaller runs; landed cost can undercut domestic quotes at larger tiers but usually adds freight, duties, and packaging.
