You've decided on using plastic jars for your product. Now one of the questions you may have is this: do I buy plastics jars wholesale or through bulk pricing. But aren't they the same?

The answer: no. Wholesale and bulk quantities aren't the same. That said, they're sometimes used interchangeably. Nevertheless, there are quite clear definitions for each when you're deciding on plastic jars wholesale and bulk pricing options.

Bulk pricing

Bulk pricing stems from the option offered to anyone who wants to purchase a large quantity of jars. For example, this could be a one-time purchase for a number of cases to use for lip balm or car polish. If you don't want to establish a wholesale account at this point, you can make your purchase using bulk quantity pricing. The number you actually buy is dependent on what types of products you're packaging and what the provider defines as bulk. In many instances, it's a 10-case minimum. You should also inquire on your bulk quantity amount needed to determine if you quality for special discount pricing.

Wholesale pricing

Buying plastic jars wholesale is different than bulk pricing. With wholesale pricing, you have to establish a wholesale account. In this relationship, you purchase your plastic jars at wholesale pricing. In this case, you'll be buying much larger quantities. In this case, make sure your purchase agreement spells out your terms and what the minimum amounts are.

So basically, wholesale pricing refers to the purchasing of plastic jars from one or more manufacturers or distributors. The jars are purchased at typically lower prices than that of retail costs. With regard to distribution, this refers to the activities of a business that serves as a middleman between the manufacturers of the jars and the wholesalers and retailers who sell the products.

If you're already a wholesaler, you will generally buy a large quantity of your jars from distributors. Placing high-volume orders will usually improve your buying power. Many distributors will provide discounts based on the total amount spent on your jars. Your jar-filled products are then earmarked for retail establishments or for online shopping.

In addition, find out if you can obtain your plastic jars by the pallet and truckload to be sure you're getting the greatest value for your packaging requirements.

Playing the role of the wholesaler

While you purchase your plastic jars wholesale or in bulk from either a wholesaler company or a distributor, you too also act as a wholesaler in order to sell your product. Your customers will contact you about how many units they need and if they plan on making a bulk purchase or order with a wholesale account. The process works the same way as it did for you when it was time for your plastic jars wholesale and bulk pricing.
