Shot Glass: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 at volume, on a typical 20-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 shot glass, the drivers are lid type, cup size match, hole style, material, sealability, wall construction, capacity, lid compatibility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing promo suppliers show custom glass shot glasses around $0.73-$1.48 each at 100-999 units, while bulk quote pages and marketplaces show much lower imported unit prices once you move into 5,000+ piece factory orders. For a mid-range custom-printed configuration, the main price drivers are material (glass vs. plastic vs. stainless/silicone), decoration method (1-color pad print is cheaper than full-color or engraving), and whether the order is domestic promo-stock or direct-import factory production. Realistic supplier routes are US promo wholesalers for 500-5,000 units and overseas/landed-equivalent factory sourcing for 5,000+ units, especially when print complexity is modest.
