    We'll need a lot of things like this

    https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/samtec-inc/FFSD-12-D-02-50-01-N/7235561

    and need better pricing for production.

    Does anyone know of a good supplier for custom ribbon cables?

    Did you look for part on the samtec website? Samtec also delivers in smaller quantities.

    I've used these folks before:
    https://www.leotronics.co.uk/

    Pricing quite reasonable: a 40 way of similar (custom) length to the Digikey cable above was about -u1 each in 100pcs, in 2015.

    However they're in the UK so that's probably not convenient for you.
