What moves the price
For thermal label stock, the drivers are dimensions, adhesive type, printer compatibility, material stock — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For 4x6 direct thermal shipping labels, price is driven mainly by label count per roll/case, paper vs. synthetic face stock, adhesive tack, core size/printer compatibility, and whether the order is stock white or custom printed. Public wholesale examples show 4x6 direct thermal labels around $0.085-$0.136 per label in smaller bulk cases, with much lower landed-equivalent pricing possible at pallet scale or import lots. The most realistic routes are US trade wholesalers, private-label converters, and import/landed-equivalent pallet buyers; custom-printed or synthetic constructions will sit above plain white direct thermal paper.
