Menu: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.70 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.12 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.70 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.45 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.32 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.24 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.18 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.12 |
What moves the price
For menu, the drivers are sign face size, material, print sides, mount type, page count, paper stock, binding, finish — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier listings show printed menu cards and related tent/menu cards ranging from very low-cost paper pieces to much higher-priced rigid or holder formats; for example, Indian trade listings show menu card printing as low as INR 10–35 per piece and some bulk quotes around INR 50–120 per piece, while custom flat menu cards start around ₹39.30/unit and quoted bulk menu cards are ₹35 at 100+ units. The biggest drivers are substrate (paper vs rigid board vs acrylic/leather holder), print sides, lamination/surface finish, and whether the item is a simple printed card or a mounted/stand-up menu card. US-facing wholesale channels for this exact product are sparse, so the ladder is best treated as a landed-equivalent estimate anchored to published trade and supplier pricing rather than a single US catalog.
