Ticket: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.24 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 at volume, on a typical 15-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 ticket, 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.
For custom apparel hang tags, the biggest price drivers are stock thickness/material, print sides and color count, die-cut complexity, and attachment hardware such as string or plastic loop fasteners. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing digital/offset print shops for smaller and mid-size runs, and China-based trade suppliers or importers for the lowest landed unit costs at higher volumes. The quoted market ranges show common mid-range full-color cardstock tags around a few cents to low tens of cents at volume, while added finishes and special attachments push pricing upward.
