Paddle: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $16.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $7.00 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $16.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $14.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $11.00 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $10.00 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $8.50 |
| 100,000+ units | $7.00 |
What moves the price
For paddle, the drivers are material, handle position count, folding mechanism, weight capacity, non-slip feet, print area, base shape, surface texture — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For custom pickleball paddles, price is most strongly driven by face material, core thickness, thermoformed vs. non-thermoformed construction, and logo/color customization; supplier guidance places mid-tier composite/custom-branded paddles around the low-to-mid teens at 500-1,000 units and lower at larger factory MOQs. Real supplier routes that are plausible for US-facing bulk buying are China-based OEM/ODM factories quoting FOB or landed-equivalent pricing, plus marketplace aggregators like Alibaba, GlobalSources, DHgate, and Made-in-China that show similar per-unit ranges at low-to-mid MOQs. These figures are best treated as landed-equivalent target bands for a mid-range custom-printed paddle rather than branded retail products, and they usually move down with simpler materials, fewer print colors, and less demanding surface/texturing specs.
