Although I don't know what the shipping costs are, alibaba allows users to buy custom silicone bracelets for 5 cents a piece.

Another site, presumably us, sells them for 16-25 cents.

@Web-Search if i were to buy 11000 custom silicone bracelets from a distributor, how much should that cost?

The cost of purchasing 11,000 custom silicone bracelets can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of customization (imprinted, debossed, or embossed), the colors chosen, and the distributor you select. Here’s a general breakdown of what you might expect:

Imprinted Silicone Wristbands: These are typically the most affordable option. Prices can range from $0.10 to $0.50 per wristband depending on the complexity of the design and the quantity ordered. For 11,000 wristbands, this could total between $1,100 and $5,500.
Debossed Silicone Wristbands: These are slightly more expensive due to the engraving process. Prices might range from $0.20 to $0.70 per wristband. Therefore, for 11,000 wristbands, you could be looking at a total cost of $2,200 to $7,700.
Embossed Silicone Wristbands: This option is usually the most costly, with prices ranging from $0.30 to $0.80 per wristband. For 11,000 wristbands, the total could be between $3,300 and $8,800.
