Paper Document Fastener: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.57 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.10 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.

| 500–999 units | $0.57 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.36 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.10 |
What moves the price
For paper document fastener, the drivers are metal gauge, riveted vs welded construction, opening force, plating finish, hole spacing, material, size, adjustability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale and trade listings show price mainly driven by material, style (metal prong/brad vs plastic), and packaging unit rather than one exact geometry; custom-printed or branded versions usually price above stock items. The most realistic routes are office-supply wholesalers for stock paper fasteners and import/trade marketplaces for custom or OEM runs, with landed-equivalent pricing on low-cost plastic variants much lower than US stock metal fasteners. Higher quantities generally improve unit price, but custom adhesive/backing/color options can widen the spread materially.
