Scissors: wholesale price

| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.14 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.09 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.075 |
What moves the price
For scissors, 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 pricing for low-end plastic or plastic-handle scissors is most often driven by blade/hardware content, handle material, and MOQ rather than branding, with Alibaba and Made-in-China showing the clearest bulk tiers around $0.08-$0.20 at higher volumes. Mid-range custom-printed office/plastic scissors are realistically sourced either from China trade suppliers or US wholesalers reselling imported stock, but US-facing channels tend to post higher unit prices and often bundle by case rather than true factory-bulk tiers.
