File Folder: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.15 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.05 at volume, on a typical 30-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.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.08 |

What moves the price
For file folder, the drivers are material, rigidity, compartments, print, finish, lid style, file system compatibility, board thickness — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale and marketplace pricing shows standard paper file folders and hanging folders in the roughly $0.10-$0.30 per-unit range at lower bulk counts, while China-based MOQ listings and supplier aggregators show sub-$0.10 pricing at higher volumes for simpler custom-printed folders. The biggest price drivers are paperboard weight/rigidity, number of pockets or compartments, print coverage, and whether the product is a basic manila folder versus a reinforced hanging or classification folder. Realistic supplier routes are US office-supply wholesalers for stocked items and import/custom converters or Alibaba-style factory sourcing for 5,000+ unit runs; freight, setup, and printing complexity can move the landed unit cost materially
