Travel Cup: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.45 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.25 at volume, on a typical 21-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 travel cup, the drivers are capacity, wall type, lining, lid compatibility, print coverage — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For mid-range custom travel cups, the main price drivers are wall construction, insulation/lining, lid compatibility, and decoration coverage; stainless vacuum tumblers and double-wall formats sit materially above simple single-wall or paper cups. Real supplier routes are promotional distributors for US-facing decorated drinkware, or direct import marketplaces for OEM stainless-steel tumblers with FOB pricing that can be landed lower at scale. Bulk pricing typically falls as MOQ rises, with the steepest drops coming when moving from small-run promotional orders into factory-direct or importable 5000+ unit programs.
