What moves the price
For rubber band, the drivers are wattage, color temperature, dimming, fixture length, finish, occupancy sensor, imprint size, handle type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale signals for orthodontic elastics cluster around roughly $0.01–$0.02 per band in small packs and about $0.20–$0.48 per bag/box for much larger pack formats, which implies a very low per-unit cost at bulk scale. The main price drivers are latex vs non-latex material, pack size, and whether the product is a standard orthodontic band or a more specialized custom item; custom printing, color matching, and closure/format changes usually push pricing upward, while straight import/wholesale routes from dental distributors or China-based trade suppliers are the most realistic for these volumes.
