3003 aluminum coil price per ton is benchmarked against the London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminum price. The total cost structure comprises the base price for primary aluminum, processing premiums, surface treatment charges and logistics. Quotes are available in both USD/ton and CAD/ton, it vary significantly based on temper, thickness, and coating type; therefore, complete technical specifications must be confirmed prior to procurement.
For 3003-H14 mill-finish aluminum coils—typically 0.6–1.2 mm thick with a standard width of 1220 mm—the reference price for bulk orders (≥5 tons) ranges from USD 3,100–3,450/ton (approximately CAD 4,250–4,750/ton). "O" temper (soft) 3003 aluminum coil offers superior formability, making it ideal for deep drawing and bending; this carries a higher processing premium, with quotes ranging from USD 3,300–3,650/ton (CAD 4,500–5,000/ton). For thinner gauges (below 0.4 mm), increased costs for rolling and slitting result in a price premium of USD 120–250 per ton.
Pre-painted aluminum coils are the industry standard in the North American construction market. For 3003 aluminum coils with a PE (polyester) coating, prices range from 3,400–3,750 USD/ton (4,650–5,150 CAD/ton). Aluminum coil 3003 featuring a Kynar 500 (PVDF/fluoropolymer) coating offer superior weather resistance—ideal for long-term outdoor use in roofing, exterior wall cladding, and gutter systems—and command a higher price point of 3,800–4,200 USD/ton (5,200–5,750 CAD/ton). Specific requirements regarding coating thickness, color codes, back-side primers, and protective film are factored into the final quote.
Order volume directly influences the unit price. For small, one-off orders (1–3 tons), costs increase by 200–350 USD/ton due to production changeovers, handling, and slitting waste. For recurring monthly orders or project-based volumes of 15 tons or more, we offer fixed-premium pricing structures, which help mitigate cost volatility caused by short-term LME (London Metal Exchange) fluctuations. This is a key negotiation point for long-term partnerships with North American roofing contractors and HVAC/insulation manufacturers.
Industry insight: Many clients focus solely on the base price of the aluminum, overlooking critical factors such as coating warranties, surface tolerances, flatness control, coil inner diameters (ID), and palletizing standards—oversights that often lead to material waste during fabrication, the need for rework, or disputes regarding warranty coverage. Our 3003 aluminum coils comply with the ASTM B209 standard, featuring a thickness tolerance of ±0.03mm and flatness control within 15 I-units. Every shipment is accompanied by a material test certificate and a coating inspection report.
BCM Aluminum maintains a steady inventory of both mill-finish and pre-painted 3003 aluminum coils. We provide precision slitting to custom widths, protective film application, and re-coiling to specific lengths. Quotes are valid for 24–48 hours and provide a clear breakdown of the LME base price, processing fees, coating costs, taxes, and delivery terms; documentation can be issued in either USD or CAD. Simply provide the thickness, temper, coating specifications, color code, tonnage, and delivery location, and we will supply an accurate, real-time quote.
