Procurement playbook
What moves the price
- Where your quantity sits against the 1/4 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 stainless steel straw set pricing
Priced per unit with quantity breaks. Vendors quote steps at 1 / 4 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 40oz stock, 50oz stock, 21oz stock. Quotes are NOT interchangeable across variants, so match the spec before comparing.
