Food Label: wholesale price

A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.165 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.035 at volume, on a typical 10-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 food label, the drivers are size, material, adhesive type, finish, print colors, shape, die cut shape, thickness — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

For custom food labels, price moves most with material (paper vs BOPP/waterproof), adhesive, finish, and whether the job is sheet or roll format; complex die cuts and more print colors usually raise unit cost. Realistic U.S.-facing routes are factory-direct wholesale label suppliers and trade packaging vendors; the cited ranges align with published wholesale label pricing and quoted market bands for standard paper, BOPP, and foil/metallic custom labels. The 100,000+ tier could not be sourced cleanly from the supplied results, so it is omitted rather than inferred.

Also known as: branded packaging labels, custom food labels, restaurant labels, takeout labels.
