Shipping Tag: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.18 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.02 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 shipping tag, the drivers are binder size fit, paper weight, print finish, single-sided vs double-sided, color, sheet layout, perforation type, label size — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for custom hang/shipping tags is most commonly quoted by print shops and tag suppliers on 14pt cardstock or similar stock, with prices dropping sharply after setup is amortized. The biggest cost drivers are stock type/weight, single- vs double-sided print, number of colors, coating/finish, and whether the order uses custom die-cutting or perforation; marketplace/import listings can be cheaper but are less reliable for US landed pricing. Realistic supplier routes are US custom tag printers for 500–10,000 units and offshore marketplace or import channels for 10,000+ units when the buyer can tolerate longer lead times and more variable quality.
