Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.68 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.08 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For carton, the drivers are dimensions, board grade, divider type, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for beverage-alcohol cartons is sparse, but supplier listings for standard 1-pack/2-pack/3-pack bottle cartons and shipper-style cartons show roughly $1.24 to $3.65 per unit at small wholesale packs, with stronger discounts at higher purchase brackets. Realistic routes are packaging specialists selling standard die-lines with custom print, or import/landed-equivalent sourcing through B2B marketplaces; price moves mainly with board grade, structural inserts/dividers, print coverage, and whether the carton is a simple folding carton versus a heavier shipper or display-ready case box.
