What moves the price
For 1gal jug, the drivers are capacity, material, handle type, UN rating — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
The main price drivers are material (HDPE vs PETG vs glass), whether the jug is a standard stock shape or custom-molded, and whether it is UN-rated or needs a more robust wall/handle. Public US wholesale listings for 1-gallon HDPE jugs show roughly $1.35 each at pallet-scale and around $1.04–$1.62 for other 1-gallon HDPE jug/F-style configurations, while Alibaba-style import quotes for custom 1-gallon plastic jugs sit in the low-single-dollar range at 500+ MOQ. Realistic routes are US stock-packaging wholesalers for smaller MOQs and import/OEM suppliers for 5,000+ units, especially if custom printing or a custom closure/handle is required
