Sliding Compact: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.42 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.18 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.42 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.34 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.28 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.18 |
What moves the price
For sliding compact, the drivers are pan size, mirror, hinge type, material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale/FOB pricing for generic plastic compact cases on Alibaba and Made-in-China shows mid-volume unit prices around $0.35–$0.50 at 8,000-piece lots and about $0.115–$0.307 at 12,000-piece lots, which is consistent with a custom-printed sliding compact in a basic plastic configuration. Pricing moves most with mold/tooling, material grade, mirror inclusion, hinge quality, and decoration method; custom printing and tighter fit/finish typically push the quote toward the top of the band. Realistic sourcing routes are Chinese OEM/ODM packaging factories or importers that can quote landed-equivalent costs, while US-facing wholesale beauty liquidators are not a credible route for new custom-made compacts.
