What moves the price
For shrink 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.
Published wholesale pricing is usually quoted by roll or by kilogram, not by finished custom-printed unit, so these bands are grounded by converting real supplier roll/kg prices for FDA-compliant PVC and polyolefin shrink film into an implied per-unit cost. In practice, price moves most with gauge, resin choice (PVC vs polyolefin vs POF), shrink ratio, print coverage, and whether the order is stock clear film or custom-printed film with artwork setup and color-matching. The most realistic supply routes are US packaging wholesalers for stock FDA-compliant film and direct import/OEM factories for custom-printed runs, with larger quantities needed to reach the lower bands.
