If you are sourcing acrylic motion video frame units in bulk, the short answer is that wholesale prices from Chinese factories typically land between roughly $16 and $55 per unit, depending on screen size, memory, and whether the model supports Wi-Fi. A compact 5-inch frame with 8GB of storage usually wholesales near the low end, while a 10-inch model sits closer to the top of that band. What you pay is almost entirely decided by four things: the size of the IPS screen, the amount of built-in storage, the acrylic casing, and volume.
Listed wholesale prices change with volume, so treat the figures below as starting points rather than fixed quotes. They are drawn from current bulk listings for transparent acrylic video frames shipping out of Shenzhen.
| Screen size | Typical wholesale band | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| 5 inch | about $16–$19 | Frameless acrylic, 8GB, auto-play, battery powered |
| 7 inch | about $19–$30 | Acrylic glass casing, larger IPS screen, 8GB, rechargeable |
| 10 inch | about $35–$55 | Bigger HD display, more storage tiers, optional Wi-Fi upload |
The reason for the spread is simple: a screen two inches bigger needs a larger and more expensive IPS panel, and the extra glass and electronics drive up the bill of materials. A Wi-Fi model, which lets you send photos and clips straight to the frame over an app, runs noticeably higher than a USB-only version of the same size because it adds a wireless module and more memory.
Chinese factories quote per-piece prices that step down in tiers, and the ｄｒｏｐ can be meaningful. As an example, current listings for a 5-inch frameless acrylic video frame show roughly:
The savings from a 5,000-unit order versus a handful of samples are real but modest on a single 5-inch frame. Where you gain far more is when you go factory direct and negotiate on a full container or a long-term contract, and when you bundle several product lines into one purchase. If you are moving real quantity, buying straight from the factory and skipping a distributor is usually the single biggest lever you control.
Quotes that look too cheap often hide a compromise somewhere. The four biggest cost drivers are worth understanding before you compare suppliers.
The IPS screen. A genuine IPS panel with crisp wide-angle viewing costs more than a basic TN display, but it is also what makes a video frame look premium instead of washed out. Pay attention to the resolution stated in the spec sheet rather than assuming all panels of the same size are equal.
Storage and video codecs. Entry frames from some suppliers come with only 4GB and stutter on looped MP4 clips. Models with 8GB and support for 1080p playback hold far more footage and run more smoothly, and they cost a little more to build. For example, a 5 inch acrylic motion video frame 8gb carries double the storage of a basic 4GB unit, which is a small price difference you can usually justify.
The acrylic itself. High-transparency acrylic looks like glass but resists shattering and scratching far better. Low-grade plastic can yellow within months or show visible distortion behind the screen. When you are buying hundreds of units, cheap casing is a fast way to face returns.
Wi-Fi and smart features. A frame with app-based upload, like the FRAMEO acrylic model that accepts photos and clips over Wi-Fi, costs more than a USB-only version. Only pay for it if your use case genuinely needs remote upload rather than a preloaded playlist.
Minimum order quantities differ by factory. Some manufacturers will let you test with a single sample unit; volume pricing typically kicks in around 100 pieces. If you are a shop or a small brand that only needs a few dozen, you will usually pay closer to the top of the price band, and it can make sense to use a sourcing platform for your first run rather than committing to a full container.
For serious bulk buyers, the best combination of price, quality control, and customization comes from dealing with a factory that manufactures rather than resells. A factory with years of OEM/ODM experience will etch your logo, wrap your own packaging, and adjust firmware, whereas a middleman can usually only pass through a stock item. Including shipping, a typical container order takes four to six weeks from order to arrival.
The unit price is only part of the total. Before you compare one quote against another, add up four things that are easy to miss:
Price alone is the wrong way to pick a supplier for an acrylic motion video frame. Check that the factory holds quality and compliance certifications, order a sample and run it on a loop for a few days to test brightness, playback and battery, and ask directly how they handle warranty claims. A manufacturer that assembles in its own facility and carries an after-sales department will usually answer those questions with specifics rather than vague reassurance.
Shenzhen SSA Electronic has manufactured digital display products for more than 17 years and ships to over 50 countries. Its 10 inch acrylic motion video frame range covers the 5-inch to 10-inch sizes that make up most of the market, and its FRAMEO acrylic model adds Wi-Fi upload on top of 8GB of storage. Because SSA is the factory rather than a distributor, you can customize the logo, packaging, and software on the same order, and you deal with engineers directly instead of a reseller.
For a current quote on the exact size and configuration you need, contact the SSA sales team with your target volume. A few details—screen size, whether you need Wi-Fi, and your order quantity—are all they need to price a shipment accurately and, if you are at real volume, to sharpen the per-unit figure well below a one-off retail price.
Note: wholesale pricing varies with material costs, exchange rates, and order volume, so figures in this article are indicative ranges from current bulk listings and should be confirmed with the supplier before any order.
