Flexible Packaging: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.61 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.13 at volume, on a typical 35-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 flexible packaging, the drivers are density, sheet thickness, fire rating, printability, rigidity, cut tolerances, core thickness, face stock — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale pricing for custom flexible packaging is driven mainly by structure (PET/PE vs foil or barrier laminates), format/size, and print complexity; higher barrier, matte/spot UV, and zipper/valve features push prices up. Published supplier ranges show simple pouches can start near $0.08-$0.18 at high volume, while typical pet-food barrier pouches land around $0.11-$0.31 at 50k-100k units, which supports a mid-range custom-printed band for pet packaging. Realistic supplier routes are direct OEM flexible-packaging converters and US-facing trade suppliers with import-aligned pricing; low-volume orders usually buy through domestic brokers/private-label packagers, while 25k+ is where factory-direct import pricing becomes most viable.
