What moves the price
For jug, the drivers are capacity, material, handle type, UN rating — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For a mid-range 128 oz HDPE jug, the biggest price drivers are resin weight, whether it is a round dairy-style jug or F-style handled jug, neck finish/closure compatibility, and whether the container needs UN rating or custom printing. Public supplier pricing is sparse at true OEM volumes, so the most realistic routes are wholesale packagers like Bottlestore, The Cary Company, Basco, and specialty manufacturers/importers that quote by pallet or truckload rather than by catalog case. Custom print, color matching, and UN certification usually push pricing above the published blank-stock figures, while very large runs can approach import-equivalent landed pricing
