What moves the price
For foundation carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, finish, print colors — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a mid-range custom-printed foundation carton, the biggest price drivers are board thickness/caliper, print complexity, and finish level; suppliers quote materially lower prices as quantity rises. Realistic routes are wholesale packaging houses and custom box vendors quoting folding cartons, plus import/FOB listings from China that provide landed-equivalent benchmarks; simple CMYK folding cartons are much cheaper than rigid or heavily finished cartons.
