Card Envelope: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.04 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.022 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.

| 500–999 units | $0.04 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.022 |
What moves the price
For card envelope, the drivers are numbering, perforation, paper weight, color coding, print sides, paper stock, number of pockets, finish — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for plain and custom room-key envelopes clusters around about $0.02–$0.15 per unit depending on print coverage, stock, and whether the item is generic or branded; examples include LodgMate and AGH Supply for case-pack pricing, Creative Envelope for custom printed sleeves, and Alibaba/Accio for factory quotes. The cheapest routes are generic unbranded paper envelopes or sleeves from hospitality suppliers; the realistic middle route is custom-printed paper/cardstock sleeves from trade printers. RFID, magnetic stripe, PVC, or other encoded media are materially more expensive and are not comparable to a simple paper key envelope card, so they should be excluded from a mid-range paper configuration.
