What moves the price
For rivet, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier listings for garment rivets cluster around roughly $0.01-$0.10 per piece, with lower prices tied to simpler zinc/alloy or brass rivets and higher prices for custom logos, special plating, or stainless/nickel-free builds. Prices move most with material, finish/plating, backing style, and whether the order is custom-printed or decorated; freight and sample charges can materially change landed cost at low volume. Realistic routes are China export marketplaces and garment-accessory trade suppliers for the low end, or US-facing importers/wholesalers that re-sell factory-made rivets for faster replenishment.
