Packet: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.89 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.90 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 | $2.89 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $2.50 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $2.45 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $1.50 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.90 |
What moves the price
For packet, the drivers are contents, packaging material, print coverage, bag style, coating, fill level, fuel type, burn time — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Pricing moves most with print complexity, paper stock, and whether the packet is fully custom die-cut versus a simpler stock format; fulfillment and assembly can also add materially to cost. Realistic sourcing routes are custom packaging printers and promo-product suppliers for printed packets, or seed/plantable-paper wholesalers when the requirement is closer to blank or semi-custom seed paper rather than finished retail seed packets. The strongest directly quoted ladder found is from a custom seed packet supplier listing tiered per-unit pricing from 500 to 20,000 units, while other wholesale packaging vendors advertise starting prices but do not publish a complete volume schedule
