Paperweight: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.05 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 paperweight, the drivers are material, capacity, orientation, finish, branding method, strap width, attachment hardware, length — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Quoted wholesale and marketplace pricing shows simple glass paperweights can be very low cost at scale, with Made-in-China listings around $0.80-$5.69 for 100+ units and Alibaba/AliExpress wholesale ranges commonly under $3 for basic styles. US-facing custom suppliers like Qstomize and Harmony Designs quote much higher prices at lower volumes, reflecting domestic fulfillment, setup, and decoration costs rather than bare landed import cost. The biggest price drivers are glass type and thickness, shape complexity, engraving or printing method, and whether the order is a plain stock item, a custom-printed promotional piece, or a gift-grade decorative paperweight
