What moves the price
For drawstring cord, 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.
Published wholesale and marketplace listings for drawstring cord and closely related drawcord products cluster around roughly $0.06–$0.50 per unit at 1,000-piece minimums, with lower per-unit pricing appearing at 5,000+ and 100,000+ piece tiers. The biggest price drivers are material and construction (cotton vs polyester vs elastic, flat vs round, aglet/tip style, and whether it is sold by the meter, yard, or piece), while custom printing, special tips/connectors, and baby-kids compliance requirements push prices upward. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing wholesale resellers for small runs and import/marketplace manufacturers for mid-to-large runs; the quoted prices in these sources are mostly for standard drawcords rather than fully baby-certified custom assemblies, so they should be treated as mid-range proxies
