The private label 250ml will vary greatly in price, starting with the volume of production, design complexity, type of material, and supplier's capability. The prices for a simple 250ml aluminum can start from $0.10 to $0.15 per can for bulk orders, usually in an MOQ of 10,000 units, to keep the price affordable due to efficient production. This minimum volume ensures efficient production and reduces the cost per unit, thus being viable for brands that want to enter the beverage market economically.
Full-color printing, embossing, or matte finishes-these customizations of design add to the total cost. Full-color printing can raise the per-can cost up to 10-15%, while the added finishes may add an extra $0.05 each. For those brands that would like their packaging to really stand out in the looks department, the extra cost to achieve high-quality printing is often worth it. With premium designs, market appeal generally goes up, thereby increasing brand value and raising the bar on sale potential.
Material choices and lining of the can: Another cost driver, most beverage cans are required to use food-grade, BPA-free linings to keep up with global health and safety regulations. These linings increase the price per can by $0.02 to $0.04 but will ensure the beverage inside is fresh and free from contamination. For example, Beverage Industry Magazine says it has become an industry trend for large brands to use BPA-free linings; this gains trust from consumers in terms of health concerns, while also meeting international safety standards imposed by most countries.
The overall cost is further influenced by shipping and logistics. Shipping costs differ according to the distance involved and the method of shipment employed. While ocean freight is far cheaper when bulk orders are placed, it has longer lead times than air freight. Factoring in shipping costs adds approximately $0.03 to $0.07 per can. Using an overseas manufacturer as an example, the shipping cost for 10,000 cans ranges from $300 to $700, depending on the destination, shipping method, and the freight rates available at the time.
Other additional expenses are warehousing and handling charges, which apply when the stocks have to be stored before distribution can be done. These storage costs are sometimes charged based on volume and may add approximately $0.01 to $0.03 per can monthly. Some suppliers provide warehousing as part of their package to help in streamlining logistics and reducing overheads.
Entering into a custom private label 250ml can project for any business requires predetermination of the overall budget that would be needed for the project-production, design, or logistics. In this regard, with proper planning, brands can be assured of an approximate total cost in the range of $0.20 to $0.30 per can due to their specific order requirements. Larger orders facilitate the reduction of the per-unit expense. Such an approach will thus enable brands to have their customized product created to meet their respective market goals within budget.
