A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.40 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.04 at volume, on a typical 30-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 curtain tape, the drivers are weight per metre, lead free compliance, tape width, pocket spacing, fire retardancy, material, chair style, fit type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

For a mid-range custom-printed curtain tape, the main cost drivers are width, pleat/heading construction, reinforcement, and whether the tape is plain woven, corded, or fire-rated; published market quotes show much lower prices for plain 50mm tape than for specialty wave, S-fold, or weighted variants. Realistic sourcing routes are China-facing OEM/ODM marketplaces and trade exporters, where FOB quotes are commonly published at meter-scale MOQs, plus landed-equivalent import pricing for U.S. buyers; U.S.-facing retail/wholesale storefronts usually sit above factory-direct bulk pricing and are less useful for large-volume bands.

Also known as: gathering tape, heading tape, pencil pleat tape.
