Beanie: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.89 at volume, on a typical 14-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.

What moves the price
For beanie, the drivers are profile, closure type, decoration method, panel count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale beanie pricing is mostly shown as low-order case or dozen pricing from US-facing apparel wholesalers, with blanks around $2.29-$5.80 and decorated/promotional beanies reaching about $7-$13 at small runs. Material, cuff/profile, knit weight, and decoration method (blank vs. patch vs. embroidery/print) move price the most, while higher panel complexity or special trims push it upward. For realistic bulk sourcing, US wholesalers and promo suppliers are the most directly quoted routes at low-to-mid volumes, while landed-import pricing is the likeliest path to reach the lowest unit costs at 25k+ and 100k+ quantities.
