A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.12 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.025 at volume, on a typical 25-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For bead cap, the drivers are material, fit size, adhesive type, slot count, custom cut, color, size, hole diameter — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for bead caps varies most by metal, plating, and pack size; sterling silver and gold-filled caps sit far above brass/alloy commodity parts, while small decorative packs can be much higher on a per-piece basis than factory bulk. Real supplier routes that fit this product are jewelry-finding wholesalers like Fire Mountain Gems, Rings & Things, JBB Findings, Beads of Cambay, and China-direct marketplaces listing MOQ-based ranges; for custom-printed or custom-cut versions, factory quotes on Alibaba-style sourcing are the most realistic path. The sharpest price breaks come from switching from precious metals to brass/alloy, simplifying the /petal geometry, and ordering in very large MOQ lots
