What moves the price
For return mailer, the drivers are dimensions, gauge, adhesive strip, opacity, print coverage — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Real published wholesale pricing for returnable poly mailers is available from US-facing suppliers at roughly $0.150/ea at 500+ units, with lower per-unit costs at higher case counts and wholesale programs. Pricing moves most with size, mil thickness/gauge, and whether the mailer is plain stock versus custom-printed with branding, since print coverage and setup costs are the main adders. Realistic supplier routes are stock-wholesale channels for baseline pricing, then custom packaging vendors or factory-direct import programs for branded dual-strip mailers; lead times are often quoted per project and were not consistently published in the sources reviewed
