What moves the price
For membership card, 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 wholesale pricing from US-facing card printers shows standard printed membership/plastic card pricing falling from about $0.55 at 500 units to $0.25 at 10,000 units, with additional per-unit drops in adjacent bulk card product lines and trade calculators for higher volumes. Price is mainly driven by substrate (paper/cardstock vs PVC), print sides, variable data, and added features such as magnetic stripe, NFC/RFID, lamination, and encoding; realistic supplier routes are US trade printers for 500–10,000 units and offshore/import or contract manufacturing for 25,000+ units.
