Placard: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $7.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.60 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 placard, the drivers are display size, display technology, wireless protocol, battery life, front-lighting, temperature rating, RFID support, custom branding — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published retail/wholesale-facing placard and decal listings show custom placard-like items at roughly $21.50 to $33.50 each in small quantities, while bulk sticker/decal suppliers quote about $0.06 to $0.09 each at 10,000+ units, indicating a steep scale effect from setup and print method. The biggest price drivers are substrate and durability spec (vinyl, reflective, rigid plastic, weatherproofing), adhesive system, die-cut complexity, and print/color count; higher-volume routes are most realistic through trade printers, import brokers, or safety-sign manufacturers rather than retail auto-parts channels. Lead time is typically around 2–4 weeks for custom trade runs, but can vary materially with material certification, die tooling, and finishing complexity.
