Shipping Mailer: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.47 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.14 at volume, on a typical 21-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 shipping mailer, the drivers are coating type, paper weight, moisture barrier, print method, closure type, recycled content, material, padded or unpadded — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier pricing shows corrugated mailers around $0.29-$0.34 at small wholesale quantities, while China-export tube packaging quotes drop to about $0.35-$0.60 at 500-999 pieces and about $0.21-$0.25 at 5,000+ pieces. The main price drivers are board grade/strength, custom print coverage, closure or structural complexity, and whether inserts or special coatings are included; these features move both material and converting cost. Realistic sourcing routes are US stock wholesalers for lower-MOQ orders and direct import/custom carton manufacturers for 5,000+ units, with landed-equivalent pricing typically improving sharply at higher volumes.
