Work Shirt: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $6.40 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.95 at volume, on a typical 45-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.
Median price by order quantity

What moves the price
For work shirt, the drivers are arc rating (cal/cm²), NFPA 70E compliance, fabric weight, flame-resistant material, closure type, lining, inseam, fly style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale workwear pricing is sparse for exact ANSI/ISEA-rated work shirts, so the strongest evidence comes from broad custom-workwear and bulk-shirt supplier ranges. Vanta Workwear quotes EXW bulk bands of $3.20–$15.00 for 500–1,999 units and $2.80–$12.00 for 2,000–9,999 units, with 10,000+ on request and 35–60 day lead times, while branding guides for logo work shirts suggest many projects land around $2.75+ before shipping, duties, and feature upgrades. For a mid-range custom-printed work shirt, realistic supplier routes are direct factory/OEM or import sourcing; the price moves most with certification/compliance, reflective striping, fabric weight and blend, closure/pocket complexity, and decoration method.
