Lead Foil: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.75 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.60 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 lead foil, the drivers are hardness, set time, flow, dimension stability, auto-mix vs hand-mix, carrier, particle size, resorption rate — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes for lead foil are sparse, so the ladder is anchored to published lead-sheet/lead-foil offers and adjacent industrial lead pricing rather than a dense set of exact dental-foil quotes. The main price drivers are purity, thickness/gauge, and whether the quote is for small retail sheets versus factory-direct FOB bulk lead sheet/foil; custom printing and dental packaging usually add cost, while larger kilogram-tonnage orders lower the per-unit price. The most realistic routes are industrial lead-sheet manufacturers, radiation-shielding suppliers, and import/marketplace sellers with factory-direct FOB pricing; US-facing wholesale dental distributors often repackage rather than manufacture.
