Glass: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 at volume, on a typical 20-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 glass, the drivers are capacity, material, shape, print colors, lid style, finish, saucer compatibility, glazed or matte finish — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published US-facing promo suppliers show custom glass shot glasses around $0.73-$1.48 each at 100-999 units, while bulk quote pages and marketplaces show much lower imported unit prices once you move into 5,000+ piece factory orders. For a mid-range custom-printed configuration, the main price drivers are material (glass vs. plastic vs. stainless/silicone), decoration method (1-color pad print is cheaper than full-color or engraving), and whether the order is domestic promo-stock or direct-import factory production. Realistic supplier routes are US promo wholesalers for 500-5,000 units and overseas/landed-equivalent factory sourcing for 5,000+ units, especially when print complexity is modest.
