Slider: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.015 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 slider, the drivers are hook count, row count, tape width, material, coating, width, adhesive backing, sew-on vs peel-and-stick — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes for plastic slide zipper-style closures cluster in the low cents per unit at 5,000+ quantities, with one packaging supplier listing US$0.06 at 10,000–49,999, US$0.04 at 50,000–99,999, and US$0.02 at 100,000+ for custom zipper-bag components. Market listings for plastic zipper/slider components also show US$0.03 at 3,000–9,999 and US$0.02 at 10,000+ on Made-in-China, supporting a steep drop as volume rises. Price is most sensitive to whether the closure is just the slider/zip component or a fully integrated custom bag closure, plus resin type, seal/vent features, tooling/embossing, and print customization; US-facing wholesale routes are most realistic through importers, private-label packaging converters, or China OEMs with landed-equivalent pricing rather than domestic stock suppliers.
