Sterilization Indicator: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.03 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.005 at volume, on a typical 30-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.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.008 |

What moves the price
For sterilization indicator, 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 wholesale listings for sterilization indicator strips cluster in the low cents per piece at higher factory-direct quantities, especially for generic chemical indicator strips and tape rather than biological indicators. Realistic sourcing routes are US-facing resellers for small orders and OEM/import suppliers for custom-printed bulk runs; the biggest price moves come from indicator type (chemical vs biological), strip length/material, print complexity, and whether the product is sold as loose strips, rolls, or boxed packs. The strongest evidence in the source set is for factory-direct chemical indicator strips/tape at MOQ 500-1000 and for progressively lower FOB pricing at larger volumes, so the ladder below is anchored to those published ranges rather than retail reseller pricing.
