Badge Patch: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.75 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.18 at volume, on a typical 18-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 badge patch, 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.
For custom badge/patch items, the biggest price drivers are size, construction method (embroidered, woven, printed/sublimated, PVC), stitch/color complexity, backing (iron-on, Velcro, adhesive, sew-on), and whether the order is domestic wholesale or direct-import OEM. Real supplier pricing seen in the market drops sharply at 500+ units, with US-facing bulk wholesalers and trade platforms commonly quoting lower unit rates as quantity rises, while import/landed-equivalent sourcing can push prices materially below domestic wholesale at 5,000+ units. The most realistic routes are US wholesale patch vendors for faster turnaround and easier customization, or China/OEM trade suppliers for the lowest unit cost on large runs.
