Tea Strainer: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.65 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.30 at volume, on a typical 25-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 tea strainer, the drivers are material, food grade, heat resistance, fit type, dishwasher safe, custom print, age range, foldability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing for silicone tea infusers clusters around $0.47 at 100-2,999 units, $0.43 at 3,000-9,999, and $0.40 at 10,000+ on Made-in-China, with another supplier quoting $0.30 FOB at 3,000+ units. The main cost drivers are mold/tooling complexity, silicone grade, shape/detail level, and any added metal parts or multi-material construction; simple one-piece silicone infusers price lower than hybrid silicone-plus-stainless designs. Realistic sourcing routes are Chinese OEM/ODM trade suppliers for custom print and bulk runs, while US-facing wholesalers mostly resell finished stock and are not representative of custom-manufactured factory pricing.
