Shelf Label: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.165 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 at volume, on a typical 14-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.

| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.065 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.048 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.035 |

What moves the price
For shelf label, the drivers are dimensions, adhesive type, printer compatibility, material stock — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For printed shelf labels, the main price drivers are stock choice (paper vs. synthetic/polyester), adhesive strength, print color complexity, and whether the labels must run on thermal transfer, laser, or inkjet equipment. Realistic supplier routes are US bulk-label vendors and factory-direct importers; published wholesale sheets and roll-label pricing show the lowest unit costs at higher volumes, while custom-print quoting patterns for similar BOPP/paper labels are typically higher at smaller runs. Mid-range shelf-label pricing is usually closer to standard custom label economics than to electronic shelf-label hardware pricing.
