Envelope: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.04 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.022 at volume, on a typical 14-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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.04 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.022 |
What moves the price
For envelope, the drivers are sign face size, material, print sides, mount type, page count, paper stock, binding, finish — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for plain and custom room-key envelopes clusters around about $0.02–$0.15 per unit depending on print coverage, stock, and whether the item is generic or branded; examples include LodgMate and AGH Supply for case-pack pricing, Creative Envelope for custom printed sleeves, and Alibaba/Accio for factory quotes. The cheapest routes are generic unbranded paper envelopes or sleeves from hospitality suppliers; the realistic middle route is custom-printed paper/cardstock sleeves from trade printers. RFID, magnetic stripe, PVC, or other encoded media are materially more expensive and are not comparable to a simple paper key envelope card, so they should be excluded from a mid-range paper configuration
