Compare three specific SKUs, not two shape names
An ice cube and a baozi can fill different spaces in a gift-shop range. The useful comparison is the actual toy size, construction, packaging and opening cash commitment. This guide compares a compact maltose-filled cube, a foam bun and a TPR steamer baozi from the current catalog. None of the figures establishes sales performance or available stock.
| SKU / format | Listed size | Packaging | Selling-unit price | MOQ | Goods subtotal at MOQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS348379 — Mini Maltose Ice Cube Squishy, 3.5 cm TPR Shell | 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 | OPP | US$0.27–0.28 / pc EXW | 1 cartons / 264 pcs | US$71.28–73.92 |

The 3.5 cm cube: a compact toy with a larger package
STS348379 — Mini Maltose Ice Cube Squishy, 3.5 cm TPR Shell lists a transparent TPR shell with maltose liquid, a 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5 toy size and OPP packaging. Its package-size field is 5 × 5 × 5. For an ice cube squishy bulk order, plan with the packaged measurement, not only the cube edge. The listed 264-piece carton at US$0.27–0.28 per piece represents US$71.28–73.92 in goods before transport and import costs.
This is a documented mini cube squishy wholesale format, but the dimensions alone do not prove capsule or vending-machine compatibility. Confirm the actual packed sample, opening clearance and label before choosing that use.
The 8.5 cm foam bun: compare both footprint and carton commitment
STS350800 — White Bun Slow-Rise Squishy, 8.5 cm Display Format lists PU foam, 8.5 × 8.5 × 5 cm and display-box packaging. Its MOQ is three cartons totaling 864 pieces. At US$0.55 per piece, the indicative minimum goods subtotal is US$475.20. One 288-piece shipping carton is not the same thing as one retail display box; the inner-display count needs confirmation.
The cube and bun should not share a texture claim simply because both are squeeze toys. Use the recorded construction and assess samples for your own display. A wider bun may make a clearer bakery silhouette, while the cube uses less individual product space; actual counter capacity depends on the complete packaging.
The steamer baozi: do not guess the missing measurements
STS350815 — Five-Color Baozi Squishy with Steamer Presentation states TPR, display-box packaging and 144 pieces per carton. The name describes a five-color steamer presentation, but a product-size field is not supplied. Request the toy and steamer dimensions, included parts and color ratio before committing shelf space. Its five-carton minimum totals 720 pieces; at the listed US$0.41 per piece, the goods calculation is US$295.20.
The price unit and the photographed presentation must be reconciled in the quote. Ask whether the listed piece includes all pictured presentation parts. A steamer shown in the photo is not evidence of a custom mixed-SKU carton.
Choose the format your opening budget can support
The lowest cost per piece does not automatically mean the smallest order. Start with the goods subtotal for each exact SKU, then allocate the quoted freight, import charges, packaging changes and selling costs. Keep these additional costs separate so a revised shipping quote does not change the recorded product price.
For a bakery grouping, browse food and bakery squishies. For a small test order, compare low-MOQ goods commitments and squishies priced under US$1 EXW. For the pack-count question, use the selling-unit checklist.
Send a quote list that preserves the comparison
Add the exact SKUs rather than requesting a generic ice cube or bun. Include requested pieces, your destination, target shelf date, selected version and the unanswered size or packing questions above. Use each product’s Add to quote button to carry the SKU and quantity into the quote list. The written quote confirms availability, minimums, permitted design mix and delivery terms.
