5 workable ways to get better unit prices

More quantity, better unit prices, because the basing costs for printing, mold costs, finishing costs, and die cutting costs are similar between 10 pcs with 3000 pcs. About 80 USD for printing, 20 USD for mold costs, and 25 USD for die cutting. The unit printing cost for 10 pcs bags are 8 USD/pcs, 2usd/pcs for mold costs, and 2.5 USD/pcs for die-cutting costs. If for 3000 pcs, the unit printing cost is about 0.027 USD/pcs, about 0.007usd/pcs for mold costs and about 0.008 USD/pcs.

Such a big difference. This is also why we set MOQ to 3000 pcs which the prices are much better than 100 pcs.

Thinner paper but enough good quality. Suitable or Less special finishing. If 1000 pcs bags with black logo only, the black hot stamping is advised. Because about 80 USD for hot stamping costs, and about 100usd for black ink printing costs.

Smaller Size. Smaller size, fewer materials costs, less handmade cost.

Slower shipping. Slower shipping like Sea shipping or truck is with less cost.

Common handles & color paper. Fewer customization costs if some common handles are suitable.

Stock bag. No mold costs if you select some sizes we produced and have the molds in stock. Better prices if some bags are in stock and ready to ship are good for you also. We produced 5000 pcs at least to lower the production costs.
