What moves the price
Where your quantity sits against the 1/5/10/25/50/100 break points (just under a break is the expensive place to be) Base item, generic vs name-brand drinkware Decoration method such as pad print, laser, or full-color wrap, and the number of colors Quantity and overseas vs domestic Check before signing
A name-brand base quoted where a generic was specified, or the reverse Decoration billed per color without disclosure Setup reappearing on reorders Freight inflated to offset a low unit price Negotiation levers
Decide generic vs brand-name up front so quotes match Standardize one decoration method Hit the next quantity break if usage supports it Reorder the same art to avoid setup About 16 oz classic stadium cup pricing
Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 1 / 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 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
The same product family is tracked in 22oz stock, 24oz stock, 17oz stock. Quotes are NOT interchangeable across variants, so match the spec before comparing.
