What moves the price
For plastic aglet, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for plastic shoelace aglets cluster around about US$0.01–0.16 per piece at 1,000+ MOQ, with some higher-end custom or branded listings closer to US$0.025–0.028 at 10,000 MOQ and US$0.20–0.35 from small-stock suppliers. The biggest price drivers are size/dimensions, material/plating/color complexity, and whether the item is truly custom-printed versus a plain stock tip; lower prices are most realistic from China/India factory-direct routes, while US-facing resellers and trade marketplaces usually price higher. Lead times for custom bulk production are commonly around 15–20 days, before transit time.
