Shipping Envelope: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.51 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.10 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.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.51 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.30 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.22 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.16 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.13 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.10 |
What moves the price
For shipping envelope, the drivers are dimensions, gauge, adhesive strip, opacity, print coverage — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Actual pricing is driven most by size, paper weight/gauge, adhesive or self-seal closure, and how much custom printing coverage is required; lighter plain stock is much cheaper than full-coverage custom print runs. US-facing wholesale routes with published prices show low-end envelope packs at large retail/office suppliers, while custom print pricing from trade printers and bulk mailer vendors is more realistic for branded ecommerce shipping envelopes. For landed-equivalent import pricing, the best comparator is bulk custom mailer pricing around the 5,000+ unit level, with lower unit costs as quantities rise and setup amortizes.
