What moves the price
For coaster, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale coaster pricing is highly material-dependent: pulpboard/paper coasters are far cheaper than cork, rubber, acrylic, slate, or wood, and add-ons like extra colors, custom die-cut shapes, and backing materially increase unit cost. For US-facing bulk buying, realistic routes are specialty coaster printers and promotional-product suppliers for pulpboard/custom printed runs, while Etsy/AliExpress/DHgate listings are better treated as market anchors than ideal B2B sourcing for consistent factory-direct pricing
