What moves the price
For game box, the drivers are board grade, print method, coating, insert style, magnetic closure, dimensions, material, die-cut style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Mid-range custom game boxes are priced mainly by board stock/grade, print method, coating, insert complexity, and whether the box is rigid, magnetic, or die-cut; larger runs usually unlock offset/flexo efficiency and lower unit cost. US-facing packaging suppliers publish custom printed box pricing from about $0.44/unit at volume, while board-game-specific costing examples show roughly $4.80-$6.50/unit around 1,000-5,000 units for a much larger game-box package, indicating strong dependence on size and spec. Realistic routes are US packaging vendors for small-to-mid runs and offshore custom packaging factories/importers for the lowest unit costs at 10k+ units.
