Cones: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.39 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.06 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For cones, the drivers are material, paper weight, size, tip style, print coverage, paper type, tip type, size/weight — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Prices move most with paper type/weight, tip style, print coverage, and whether the order is plain, custom-printed, or tip-upgraded; factory-direct custom cone pricing is much lower at very high runs than small-batch retail wholesale. Realistic supplier routes are domestic wholesale resellers for 500-25K units, then factory-direct custom converters/importers for 25K+; published direct pricing from HIGHER shows custom cones around $0.43 at 5K, $0.36 at 100K, and $0.046 at 1M+, while retail/wholesale packs from other suppliers commonly price much higher and are not equivalent to custom-manufactured unit economics.
