Stationery: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.40 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.05 at volume. 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
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.40 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.26 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.11 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.07 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.05 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.05 |
What moves the price
For stationery, the drivers are sign face size, material, print sides, mount type, page count, paper stock, binding, finish — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Mid-range wholesale letterhead pricing is most affected by paper stock and finish, with premium linen/laid stocks costing materially more than plain bond or uncoated stock, and full-color print costing more than simple black-only or one-side print. Realistic US-facing routes include trade printers and bulk office-supply print services such as Staples, GotPrint, Printleaf, OJ Graphix, and 4over4; public pricing shows steep per-unit declines at higher quantities, but very high-volume letterhead often requires quote-based pricing rather than a published table.
