What moves the price
For compostable tea bags, the drivers are paper or filter material, fill weight, sealed or stitched construction, string and tag, custom print — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale and marketplace listings for compostable tea bags and related custom tea packaging cluster around low cents-per-unit at scale, with higher prices for custom print, string-and-tag assembly, and heavier paper or PLA laminates. The most realistic routes are China-based OEM/ODM suppliers, US-facing wholesale packaging intermediaries, and import-equivalent landed pricing; finished branded tea-bag brands are usually not representative of factory wholesale. Price moves most with fill weight, whether the bag is empty or filled, construction method, and decoration complexity; stitched or string-and-tag formats tend to sit above simple heat-sealed sachets
