A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.03 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.005 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 insert card, the drivers are paper carbonless type, page count, serialization, perforation, binding, variable data, card stock, spot uv — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for small desiccant-format units suggests low per-unit costs at scale, with U.S. wholesale listings showing roughly $0.02-$0.20 per unit depending on size and pack format, and bulk/FOB manufacturer quotes falling to fractions of a cent for very high volumes. For desiccant cards specifically, the main cost drivers are absorbent fill weight/capacity, custom print/construction, and certification requirements; custom or non-stock specifications are typically quoted with 2-4 week lead times, while stock wholesale routes ship much faster. The most realistic sourcing routes are U.S. distributors for short runs and import/OEM factory quotes for 25k+ volumes, where landed-equivalent pricing can materially undercut domestic wholesale.
