Earring Back: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.006 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.003 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.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.004 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.003 |

What moves the price
For earring back, the drivers are width, length, metal type, plating, spring tension, finish, tongue length, box depth — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale listings show 100-piece packs at about $1.99, 500-piece packs at about $4.99, and 1,000-piece packs at about $8.99, which implies roughly $0.009–$0.020 per unit at small-bulk retail-wholesale quantities. True factory or import pricing for silicone earring backs is usually driven by material grade, hardness, mold complexity, color/clarity, and packaging rather than metal or plating, and the lowest prices come from direct OEM or import programs rather than marketplace sellers. Realistic routes are US wholesale marketplaces for small MOQ, then direct factory sourcing or Alibaba-style import channels for 5k+ units, with better pricing only if the design is standard and unbranded.
