Button: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.00 at volume, on a typical 21-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 button, the drivers are hook count, row count, tape width, material, coating, width, adhesive backing, sew-on vs peel-and-stick — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Mid-range pricing is driven most by board thickness, magnet grade/strength, lamination or foil finishes, and whether the box is fold-flat/collapsible versus pre-glued rigid. The most realistic supplier routes are Chinese packaging factories and trade platforms offering custom magnetic-closure rigid boxes, where quoted ex-works prices fall sharply from 500 to 3,000 pieces and then flatten at higher volumes. For US-facing buying, landed-equivalent pricing is usually higher than ex-works and is most often sourced through Alibaba-style suppliers or packaging brokers rather than domestic converters
