A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.13 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.02 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 lobster clasp, the drivers are width, length, metal type, plating, spring tension, finish, tongue length, box depth — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier pricing for lobster clasps is usually published in small wholesale packs rather than true factory-tier ladders: PandaHall shows lobster-claw clasps around US$0.93–US$36.04 per 100 pcs depending on size/material, Fire Mountain Gems lists lobster claw clasps as low as US$0.77 each in regular stock, and Alibaba/DHgate-style factory listings show zinc-alloy FOB prices from about US$0.01 to US$0.14 each. The biggest price drivers are metal content (zinc alloy vs brass vs sterling silver vs gold-filled), plating/finish quality, and size/spring complexity; custom-printing or branded specs typically add setup cost more than they change piece price. For realistic B2B sourcing, US-facing trade distributors fit low-volume purchases, while direct-import routes are the only plausible path to the lower cents-per-piece bands at 5k+ quantities.
