What moves the price
For aglet, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier ranges show aglets moving mainly with material, size, finish/plating, logo method, and whether the run is stock or fully custom; kingming’s wholesale guide cites roughly $0.03–$0.15 for bulk metal aglets, while marketplace listings show lower factory-floor quotes at higher MOQs. The most realistic routes are direct China OEM/ODM suppliers and trade marketplaces (Alibaba/Made-in-China/Goldsupplier) for custom metal or printed aglets; US-facing buying is usually import-landed rather than domestic manufacture. Mid-range custom-printed configurations typically sit above the cheapest plain-brass quotes because printing, plating, and tooling add cost.
