Tag String: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.12 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.001 at volume, on a typical 12-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 | $0.014 |

What moves the price
For tag string, the drivers are material, capacity, orientation, finish, branding method, strap width, attachment hardware, length — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For hang tag string, price is driven mainly by material (plastic vs nylon/cotton/elastic), customization, and order size; custom color, logo, and specific attachment styles push pricing up. Realistic supplier routes are direct-factory export listings and wholesale trade platforms, where small MOQ custom runs are much more expensive per unit than 10k+ and 50k+ quantities. Published quotes show very low landed-equivalent factory pricing at high volumes, but US-facing brand orders usually pay more once printing, packaging, and freight are included.
