Event Pass: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.15 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.36 at volume, on a typical 21-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.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $1.15 |

| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.79 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.64 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.49 |

What moves the price
For event pass, the drivers are material: paper, cardstock, recycled paper, print: full color, one-sided or two-sided, format: die-cut pocket, foldover, finish: matte, gloss, uncoated, personalization: variable data, technology: RFID, NFC, magnetic stripe, material: PVC, composite, wood, encoding: UID, encrypted, pre-programmed — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing pricing for custom event passes is sparse, but a real supplier quotes $325 for 100 double-sided 3x5 passes and $350 for 100 3.5x5.5 passes, implying roughly $3.25-$3.50 per unit at 100 pieces before quantity breaks. At larger volumes, realistic wholesale routes are commercial print/badge houses and overseas card manufacturers; costs move most with substrate (paper/cardstock vs PVC/composite), variable-data personalization, RFID/NFC/magnetic stripe encoding, and finishing such as die-cutting or lamination. The tiers below are inferred from that published small-run pricing plus typical volume-decline behavior for printed cards and pass manufacturing, so they should be treated as indicative wholesale bands rather than firm catalog quotes.
