What moves the price
For filter tip, the drivers are pack size, humidity level, unit weight — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing shows paper/wood filter tips commonly around $0.27-$0.52 per unit at 100+ case-level orders, while custom-logo cigarette/filter-tip suppliers list much lower factory quotes of about $0.01-$0.11 at 10,000+ MOQ depending on material and format. Price is mainly driven by material (paper vs wood vs acetate vs glass), custom printing, and pack format; tighter humidity control and heavier per-tip construction usually push costs up. Realistic sourcing routes are US-facing specialty retail wholesalers for low MOQs and import/marketplace factory suppliers for 10k+ custom runs
