What moves the price
For tablespoon, the drivers are material, bowl shape, finish, handle length, custom logo or engraving, weight grade, disposability, wrapped/unwrapped — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale and import quotes for plastic spoons span roughly $0.05/unit at 1,000-pack retail-wholesale listings to about $0.01–$0.05/unit at 100,000-piece factory quotations, with higher costs for heavier-weight or decorated items. The biggest price drivers are resin type (PP/PS/PLA), weight, finish/color, and whether printing or custom tooling is included; custom logo work usually pushes the deal toward factory/direct-import sourcing. Realistic supplier routes are US wholesale distributors for stocked disposable spoons, or China/Asia manufacturers for custom-printed or private-label programs, with landed costs varying heavily by freight, duties, and packaging.
