Wire Marker: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.26 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.025 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 wire marker, the drivers are material, adhesive type, outdoor durability, print method, compliance format, date format, substrate, write on surface — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale listings for cable labels are sparse, so the cleanest real pricing comes from marketplace-style supplier quotes for self-laminated cable labels and wire-marker products, where price drops sharply after 1,000 and again at 5,000+ units. The main cost drivers are label construction and print complexity: self-laminated or heat-shrink styles, temperature resistance, and custom branding push prices up, while plain printed cable labels are cheapest. Realistic supplier routes are Alibaba/Made-in-China/ExportersIndia-type trade sellers for custom runs, or industrial distributors for smaller bulk buys; branded domestic distributors usually price higher and are less suitable for OEM-style per-unit benchmarking.
