Label Tape: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $3.45 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.40 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.

What moves the price
For label tape, the drivers are wattage, color temperature, dimming, fixture length, finish, occupancy sensor, imprint size, handle type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For paper packing tape, price moves most with whether it is plain kraft versus custom-printed, and whether it is pressure-sensitive or water-activated/reinforced; width, roll length, and adhesive grade also matter. The cited wholesale listings show commodity tape in the low-dollar range per roll, while custom printed kraft tape is materially higher even at larger quantities. Realistic supplier routes are packaging wholesalers for stock kraft tape and custom packaging converters for printed branded tape; landed-import sourcing can be cheaper at scale but usually needs longer lead times and higher MOQ.
