Retraction Cord: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.16 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.42 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 retraction cord, the drivers are material, elasticity, width, length, color, heat-seal compatibility, clamp number, jaw style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale pricing for finished retraction cord is sparse; retail-distributor listings cluster around roughly $11–$18 per bottle/package for branded products, while China marketplace quotes show about $0.80–$1.00 per piece at 120-piece MOQ and $0.96–$1.16 at 100-piece MOQ for OEM-style cord. Price moves most with impregnation/medication, cord construction (knitted vs twisted/braided), size/length per unit, and whether it is plain stock or custom/OEM-packed; landed-equivalent pricing from import channels is the most realistic route for large custom-printed runs. For a mid-range custom configuration, distributor markups and packaging compliance can add substantial cost versus factory quotes, so the lower tiers are best treated as import-equivalent estimates rather than domestic shelf pricing.
