Apron: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $4.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.29 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For apron, the drivers are arc rating (cal/cm²), NFPA 70E compliance, fabric weight, flame-resistant material, closure type, lining, inseam, fly style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale apron pricing varies mainly by fabric weight/construction (blank cotton vs. poly/cotton vs. disposable), decoration method (blank, printed, embroidered, sublimated), and whether the seller is a US distributor or an overseas factory-direct source. Realistic routes are US-facing wholesale distributors for small-to-mid runs and factory-direct marketplaces for 5,000+ units, where prices can drop sharply but usually require longer lead times and higher minimums. For a mid-range custom-printed apron, the cheapest quoted listings are usually not directly comparable to decorated, finished goods, so the low end reflects import/marketplace quotes while the median/high reflect closer US wholesale and custom-program pricing.
