What moves the price
For document fastener, the drivers are metal gauge, riveted vs welded construction, opening force, plating finish, hole spacing, material, size, adjustability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for file/document fasteners is sparse, so the ladder is anchored to supplier-listed per-unit prices for paper fasteners and bulk fastener pack pricing from office-supply wholesalers. The biggest price drivers are material, length/capacity, whether the part is adhesive-backed or pronged, and whether it is a branded stock item versus a custom-printed or private-label run. For realistic sourcing, US-facing office-supply wholesalers fit smaller tiers, while importers/private-label stationery and contract manufacturers are the more plausible route for 10k+ quantities.
