What moves the price
For trash bag, the drivers are alloy, temper, thickness, width, length, surface condition, pack count, bag material — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale and marketplace pricing shows the biggest drivers are film gauge/thickness, bag size, and whether the order is stock or OEM/custom printed. Lower quotes generally come from China-based factory or trade-platform suppliers, while US-facing wholesalers tend to be higher unless the product is a standard contractor liner in case packs. Custom print, color matching, special unitization, and heavier case strength push prices up; flat stock or very basic black HDPE bags are the realistic route for the lowest unit costs.
