What moves the price
For food tray, the drivers are cavity count, material, sealing film compatibility, temperature rating — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale food-tray listings show paper food trays around $0.03885–$0.07634 each at 1,000-case scale, while custom-printed flat-pack food trays are quoted at about $0.20–$0.25 per unit from 1,000 units, indicating strong price sensitivity to material and print complexity. Larger imported disposable-tray marketplaces show very low ex-factory pricing around $0.01–$0.03 per piece at 5,000–100,000+ MOQ, but those figures are best treated as landed-equivalent or factory-direct benchmarks rather than guaranteed US delivered pricing. The biggest price drivers are cavity count/geometry, paperboard vs plastic vs molded fiber, sealing-film compatibility, and temperature rating; realistic supplier routes are US wholesalers for commodity paper trays, or overseas OEM/ODM factories for custom printed or compartmented trays with ~30–35 working day lead times
