Puzzle: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.55 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 puzzle, the drivers are board grade, print method, coating, insert style, magnetic closure, dimensions, material, die-cut style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Custom jigsaw puzzle pricing is most strongly driven by piece count, board grade, print method, coating/lamination, and whether the job uses a standard tuck box versus a custom rigid box or magnetic closure. Real supplier routes that fit these bands are factory-direct China listings and US custom-puzzle printers; the US route is usually higher at low volumes but becomes more competitive when art prep, packaging, and domestic freight matter. Landed-equivalent import pricing can undercut US-made quotes at higher quantities, but MOQs, tooling, and shipping volatility make the final unit cost highly configuration-dependent.
