Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 100 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 2500 units, and the per-unit rate drops at each break.
Why are some tumbler quotes much higher? Often a name-brand base versus a generic equivalent. Confirm both vendors are quoting the same item before comparing.
Is full-color wrap worth the premium? It costs more than a one-color print but suits complex logos. For a simple mark, a one or two color print is usually more cost-effective.
Tracked variants
