Paper Label: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.31 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.026 at volume, on a typical 12-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 label, the drivers are dimensions, material stock, adhesive type, finish — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale pricing for custom coffee/tea labels is driven mainly by facestock (paper vs. BOPP vs. specialty), adhesive, print complexity, and whether the order is sheeted or roll-form; several supplier quotes show sharp unit-cost drops as volume rises. Realistic routes are US-facing private-label printers with published wholesale pricing and import-style factory quotes from marketplaces; the lowest tiers are more consistent with domestic short-run digital jobs, while 5,000+ units usually reflect factory or brokered wholesale runs. The 100,000+ tier is best treated as a landed-equivalent factory band rather than a published US catalog price.
