What moves the price
For cup carrier, the drivers are load capacity, base footprint, upright angle, material gauge, caster or forklift fit, lift capacity, frame material, attachment type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published pricing for drink carriers is sparse, but a US supplier lists standard bottle carriers at about $0.14 per unit in bulk and custom printed carrier programs at roughly $0.45-$0.66 per unit equivalent when scaled from quoted package totals, with tray material, print coverage, and cup/bottle fit driving cost most. Realistic sourcing routes are stock molded-fiber or paperboard carriers from restaurant-packaging wholesalers for the lower end, or custom-printed paperboard/plastic carriers through packaging suppliers such as Pak-it or Saxco for higher-volume branded programs.
