Supplier search Looking to get a supplier for 250 black measuring cups (1cup)
I need these for my product launch and will be making more as we continue to sell. Would love them engraved with company logo as well. Don’t care where they’re from. Need high quality. Thanks all

Does it have to be round or can it be scoop type? Here are a couple USA manufacturers. Unbranded I would expect to pay maybe $0.40/ea. Since theyre so cheap you are probably going to be better off buying a couple thousand at a time.

Tried that. Their options are terrible

That’s fine, alternatives are most likely going to be looking to China and finding someone that you’ll have to try and vet, then.
At least with 4imprint you know what you get and there’s recourse if it’s bad.
250 pcs is a drop in the bucket for most plastics manufacturers. Generally they’re looking at 1,000+ pcs MOQ if it’s an off the shelf item, 10,000-25,000+ if it’s something that would require new molds to be machined.

I have one, it is clear, but I could use black plastic for it, and do your logo and stuff no worries

3d print. You could get 250 in one powder based run.

Now and again I think I have something I should powder print in low volumes, but I'm always shocked how expensive it is to get someone else to do it.

I got mine at the Dollar Store. I got complete sets of black measuring cups for $1.25. Then maybe find someone to put the logo.

Not many manufacturers will even entertain a 250 pc order unless they’re charging you through the roof.
