Work Shirt: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $7.10 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $5.10 at volume, on a typical 49-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 | $7.10 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $6.90 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $6.00 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $5.70 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $5.40 |
| 100,000+ units | $5.10 |
What moves the price
For work shirt, the drivers are arc rating (cal/cm²), NFPA 70E compliance, fabric weight, flame-resistant material, closure type, lining, inseam, fly style — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale/workwear pricing is usually driven by fabric weight, decoration method, certification (especially FR/ANSI compliance), and order volume, with custom logos and specialty closures adding cost. Realistic supplier routes are direct manufacturers or trade wholesalers that quote EXW/FOB at tiered volumes; branded US-facing decorators usually sell higher all-in prices, while import/landed-equivalent sourcing is the closest match to the low end. The most directly relevant published workwear band here is a wholesale uniform manufacturer showing $3.20-$15.00 per unit at 500-1,999 pieces and $2.80-$12.00 at 2,000-9,999 pieces, with 35-55 day lead times; higher tiers are an inference anchored to the same supplier’s 10,000+ quote-on-request threshold and standard bulk apparel price compression
