When you're in the market for metal bookmarks for your business, be it for promotional events, client gifts, or enhancing your brand's presence, understanding the price landscape is essential. At our B2B establishment, we offer a diverse range of top - tier metal bookmarks, each with its own distinct characteristics and associated costs. Let's take an in - depth look at our antique stainless steel bookmark, stainless steel bookmark clip, and etching printing stainless steel bookmark.
Antique Stainless Steel Bookmark（3.5-3.7RMB）
The Allure of Timeless Design
Our antique stainless steel bookmark is a blend of modern durability and classic elegance. The antique finish is achieved through a multi - step process. First, we start with high - quality stainless steel. The grade of stainless steel matters significantly as it determines the bookmark's longevity. A higher - grade stainless steel resists corrosion better and can withstand more wear and tear, but it comes at a higher cost.
The antique finish is then applied. This involves a combination of chemical treatments and sometimes mechanical processes to create a patina that mimics the look of aged metal. The more intricate the treatment, the higher the cost. For example, some antique finishes require multiple layers of application and precise control over the chemical reactions to achieve the desired depth and texture.
Pricing Based on Quantity
For small - scale orders, say up to 500 units, the cost per unit of our antique stainless steel bookmark typically starts at around 4rmb each. This is because the setup costs for the production run, which includes preparing the machinery for the specific antique finish and any custom design elements, are spread over a relatively small number of units. As the order quantity increases, the cost per unit decreases. For orders of 1000-1500 units, the price per unit can drop to approximately 3.8- 3.9rmb each. And for large - scale orders of 2000 units or more, businesses can enjoy substantial savings, with the cost per unit coming down to around 3.5-3.7rmb.
Stainless Steel Bookmark Clip(4.1-4.3RMB)
Functionality Meets Style
The stainless steel bookmark clip is designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. The clip mechanism is made from sturdy stainless steel, ensuring a firm grip on the pages of any book. The thickness and quality of the stainless steel used in the clip are crucial factors. A thicker gauge of stainless steel provides a stronger grip but may increase the cost.
The design of the clip can also vary. Some clips have a simple, straight - forward design, while others may feature decorative elements such as engravings or embossed patterns. These design elements add to the visual appeal but also contribute to the overall cost. For example, a plain stainless steel bookmark clip will be more affordable than one with intricate laser - engraved patterns.
Quantity - Driven Pricing
For small orders of stainless steel bookmark clips (up to 500 units), the cost per unit usually starts at around 4.3rmb each. As the order quantity grows, economies of scale come into play. For orders between 1000-1500 units, the price per unit can be reduced to approximately 4.2rmb each. And for large - volume orders of 2000 units or more, the cost per unit may drop to around 4.1rmb, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to purchase in bulk.
Etching Printing Stainless Steel Bookmark(4.3-5RMB）
Precision and Customization
Our etching printing stainless steel bookmark is a testament to precision and customization. The etching process uses either chemical or laser methods to create detailed patterns and text on the stainless - steel surface. Laser etching, in particular, allows for extremely fine lines and complex designs, but it requires specialized equipment and skilled operators, which drives up the cost.
The printing process, which adds color and additional detail to the etched surface, also contributes to the overall cost. The quality of the ink used is important as it needs to be resistant to fading and smudging. The number of colors used in the printing and the complexity of the design play a significant role in determining the price. A simple, single - color design will be more cost - effective than a multi - colored, highly detailed one.
Cost - Complexity Relationship
For small - scale orders (up to 500 units) of etching printing stainless steel bookmarks, the cost per unit typically starts at around 4.5 each. As the design complexity increases, so does the cost. For a design with multiple colors, gradients, and intricate patterns, the cost per unit for small orders could be upwards of 5rmb each. However, for larger orders, the cost per unit decreases due to the spreading of setup and production costs over a greater number of units. For orders of 1000 units, the price per unit may be around 4.4rmb, and for orders of 1000 units or more, it could drop to approximately 4.3rmb.
