Applique: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.49 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.06 at volume. 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 | $0.15 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.10 |

What moves the price
For applique, the drivers are pile length, fiber content, backing type, density, finish, color, link size, metal type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for appliques span from about $0.02–$0.72 per piece on Made-in-China, with many listings clustering around $0.10–$0.50 at MOQ 100–1,000 and some higher-end embroidered/rhinestone pieces at several dollars each. US-facing retail/wholesale catalogs such as Planet Rhinestone and Trimplace show much higher per-piece prices for low-volume stock items, so true custom bulk pricing is usually sourced through import manufacturers or trade suppliers rather than retail craft channels. For a mid-range custom-printed appliqué, the biggest price drivers are material and decoration complexity, plus backing/finish and any bead/rhinestone density; landed-equivalent pricing can be materially lower than US catalog prices once freight and duty are amortized.
