Shock Indicator: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.25 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.05 at volume, on a typical 30-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 shock indicator, the drivers are ribbon formulation, width, length, core size, ink side, indicator range, spot count, reversibility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing distributor pricing shows stocked shock indicators around $1.70 to $2.73 each at small-to-mid quantities, with case-pack discounts visible on 100-piece and 500–1000-piece buys. Trade marketplace listings and market reports suggest much lower factory pricing for custom/mechanical labels at scale, but those quotes vary heavily with sensitivity range, single-use vs. reusable construction, and whether the item is a branded stock label or a custom-printed OEM run. The most realistic routes are US distributors for low-volume procurement and Asian OEM/ODM suppliers or import sourcing for 10k+ unit programs; exact price is most affected by indicator type, color/sensitivity setting, and whether it is a standard stock SKU or custom printed.
