Skewer: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.01 at volume, on a typical 21-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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.20 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.12 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.05 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.03 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.015 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.01 |
What moves the price
For skewer, the drivers are contents, packaging material, print coverage, bag style, coating, fill level, fuel type, burn time — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for plain bamboo skewers commonly cluster around about $1.43-$1.87 per 100-count retail/wholesale pack on US-facing trade sites, while China marketplace listings show much lower factory prices near $0.001-$0.0095 per piece at very high MOQs and $0.10-$0.30 per bag for custom-packaged listings. The biggest price drivers are packaging format, print coverage, bag style, and whether the skewer is plain commodity stock versus custom branded or bundled for foodservice/events. Realistic supplier routes are US wholesalers for low-volume replenishment, or China OEM/ODM sources for custom-printed bulk runs and landed-equivalent pricing.
