Hair Tie: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.25 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.05 at volume, on a typical 30-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 hair tie, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Prices move most with construction and decoration: basic elastic-only ties are cheapest, while custom printing, special colors, branded packaging, and higher-quality backing or plating on attached hardware push costs up. Realistic supplier routes are U.S.-facing wholesalers for simple stock or lightly customized packs, and factory-direct marketplaces for true custom manufacture at lower landed-equivalent prices. The strongest public pricing signals here come from Alibaba/Made-in-China style factory listings and wholesale distributors; retail-market listings like Etsy/eBay are less suitable but help bound the high end.
