What moves the price
For tarpaulin, the drivers are material, impact rating, dimensions, mounting style, finish/coating, d ring count, strap material, size — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For mid-range custom tarpaulins, price is driven mainly by material grade and GSM/oz weight, then by finishing such as reinforced hems, D-rings/grommets, straps, printing, UV treatment, and fire-retardant or other compliance specs. Real supplier routes are usually either factory-direct China/India wholesalers quoting by square meter or piece, or US trade suppliers with bulk-discounted stock/custom programs; the lowest landed-equivalent prices in the search results are for PE/PVC factory-direct bulk, while US-facing wholesalers tend to sit materially higher. Lead times for custom bulk orders are commonly around 3-5 weeks, with larger orders or negotiated specs taking longer
