Stainless steel cups made in USA or China

It is curious that when people use their own stainless steel cups, they will always think about whether they are made in the USA or China.

Generally, 80% of stainless steel cups are made in China, mostly in Zhejiang Province. Manufacturers around the world import stainless steel bottles from China because of the strong manufacturing capabilities of Chinese factories. The quality is good while ensuring affordable prices and short delivery times. It is also known that some of the well-known brands of stainless steel bottles are manufactured in China.

However, about 20% of stainless steel cups are made in the USA. Since the US government recalled industries returning to the USA. There are more and more local brands starting to build their manufacturers in the USA or Mexico. The stainless steel cups made in the USA mostly work for North and South America.

Finding a trustworthy manufacturer is not so easy these days. It is recommended to do a background check before establishing a partnership with a manufacturer, as they will play a huge role in the success of your business. FLYTINBOTTLE is a leading Chinese water bottle manufacturer, you can contact us to discuss custom wholesale stainless steel bottles and give us a trial order, we can also provide you with free samples. We look forward to building successful business relationships with new customers around the world in the future.

Stainless Steel Cup Price or Cost

When you want to create a custom design stainless steel cup, you should know how much it costs to manufacture a cup and what can affect the cost.

The cost of stainless steel cups can vary depending on your custom parts design and the order quantities.

1. Material cost: stainless steel

For example, product design cost will begin when you set up the project even if it does not start production; your material cost is often given per g. It’s important to know there would be material waste at the beginning of each production, which means your order quantities are bigger. The average waste of raw material for each product is less.

If you choose stainless steel material, the cost will be more expensive than aluminum because stainless steel is more expensive and heavier than aluminum. If you choose plastic material, then the material cost is much cheaper than aluminum and stainless steel.

Also, remember that stainless steel 316 raw material cost is the highest, then stainless steel 304 in the middle, and then stainless steel 201 is much cheaper. This is why many stainless steel tumble factories choose stainless steel 304 inside and stainless steel 201 outside to make the material cost cheaper.

2. Single-layer or double-layer

When we say single-layer or double-layer, it means single layer stainless steel cups can not keep the inside warm or cold for a long time, it’s single layer that heat can be transmitted quite fast, so they can not keep the temperature inside. Double layer stainless steel cups have two layers stainless steel, inside and outside. Normally the middle area is welded vacuum, we also call them insulated stainless steel cups. So the heat can not be transmitted easily from the inside layer to the outside.

Double layers stainless steel cups are much more expensive than single layer stainless steel cups. Not only the material cost but also the production cost is much more.

So make sure which type of stainless steel cups do you need.

2. Size or capacity

A small stainless steel cup is much cheaper than a large stainless steel cup. So when you choose the stainless steel cups, you should choose the suitable capacity, the 10 oz to 20 oz stainless steel cups are mostly used stainless steel cups in the market.

3. The cost of different order quantities

The order quantities have a big impact on production manufacturing costs. The more quantities you order, the more price you can save.

The cost saving is mainly on the production process, the more quantity you order, the more time for adjusting the toolings/machines is saved, and also the work process will be highly effective.

Also, you can save shipment costs a lot by different quantities. For a standard size 16 or 17oz/500ml stainless steel cups, you can choose shipment as follow:

  • less than 100pcs; Express or air shipment, fast but quite expensive
  • 100~3000 pcs; sea shipment slow and expensive
  • 20000 pcs; sea shipment FCL 20″ GP container, slow and cheap
  • 40000 pcs; sea shipment FCL 40″ GP container, slow and very cheap

4. The timing of your order

When your stainless steel cups order quantities are small or only one-time orders, and the delivery time is urgent, the prices would be higher than usual.

5. cost of different surface finish

We can do different custom surface treatments for your stainless steel cups depending on your design needs.

There’s no plate charge when you only want to apply different Pantone colors with painting or powder coating. However, powder coating prices are always more expensive than spray painting.

There would be a plate fee when you want to have different graphic decorations for your custom design cup using various techniques, such as logo printing, logo embossing, heat transfer printing, silk printing, offset printing, pad printing, etc. Also like heat transfer printing, offset or pad printing costs are always more expensive than silk printing or logo embossing.

The plate charge cost will start from $30 to $600, sample lead time from 7 days to 15 days.

6. Labour cost

The labor cost keeps increasing year by year. We need to think of the labor cost from the cup design to reduce the product unit cost by the useless hand-made manufacturing process.

7. Additional cost

Packaging cost: some unique products that need custom-designed packaging will cause an additional cost. The more premium packaging it looks, the more expensive it costs.
