What moves the price
For tea tins, the drivers are UN certification, material, liner, closure type, stacking strength, capacity, tamper evidence, jis compliance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Wholesale tea tins move mainly on material, lid/seal type, print method, and whether the tin is a standard stock shape or a custom-printed/decorated pack. US-facing retail-wholesale listings from Specialty Bottle show roughly $0.87 at 240-999, $0.84 at 1,000-4,999, and $0.76 at 5,000-10,000 for lower-end tins, while supplier/marketplace quotes for custom tea tins and related tin boxes show sub-$1 FOB pricing at 10,000+ and around $5-11 for higher-spec stainless/vacuum-seal cans. Realistic routes are stock wholesale distributors for simpler printed tins, or China-based OEM/ODM suppliers and importers for custom mid-range tins; landed cost depends heavily on freight, decoration, and closures.
