Example: one bottle of water is like $2 but a whole pack of 24 is like $8. Isn’t the company losing money by charging less for more resources/labor & packaging?

While yes, economies of scale, but it’s unlikely that one purchase will effect the cost of production very much, even if it’s in bulk. Most of the time, like at the grocery store, if something has a bulk sale it’s a marketing ploy. A company will happily charge less for additional product if you wouldn’t have bought that additional product otherwise and they’re still turning a profit on it.
