Paper Bag Insert: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.55 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.09 at volume, on a typical 21-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 paper bag insert, the drivers are diameter, length, material, individually wrapped, pointed tip, flexibility, paper grade, flute style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for adjacent custom paper-packaging products shows unit costs dropping with volume, and custom packaging inserts/retail-packaging inserts are quoted by trade suppliers at roughly $0.40 at 500–4,999, $0.29 at 5,000–9,999, and $0.19 at 10,000+ for a comparable custom-printed insert category. Real supplier routes that are realistic for this item are custom packaging converters and paper-bag/food-packaging wholesalers, where price is mainly driven by paper grade, print coverage, coating, fit/size, and fold style; freight and setup/make-ready also matter more at low quantities. For very large runs, import/FOB-equivalent pricing from overseas manufacturers can be materially lower than US-facing wholesale quotes, but that usually comes with higher logistics, longer lead times, and tighter spec control.
