Name Badge: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.35 at volume, on a typical 14-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 name badge, the drivers are material, locking mechanism, serrated jaw, length, sterile packaging, capacity, mount style, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing pricing shows plastic/visitor-style badges around $1.75 at 500+ and $2.25 at 1000-4999 for full-color visitor badges, while higher-end metal/plated badges from name-badge suppliers stay in the ~$5.49-$7.49+ range at 100+ to 1000+. Material and attachment are the biggest cost drivers: plastic visitor badges are far cheaper than premium metal, and magnets cost more than pins. For real bulk sourcing, the most realistic routes are US trade suppliers like NameBadges.com, Name-Badges.com, and LamPro; very large runs usually move to quote-based pricing rather than published ladder pricing.
