Lunch Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.12 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.012 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.049 |

What moves the price
For lunch box, the drivers are material, capacity, lid style, airtight seal, microwave/freezer safety, stackability, custom print, compartments — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier quotes show that price moves most with board grade, lining/coating, print coverage, and whether the box is a simple flat-fold carton or a sturdier formed container. Realistic sourcing routes are US-facing wholesale stockers for small MOQs and China-based custom OEM factories or Made-in-China trade listings for 1,000+ units, with landed-equivalent pricing often dropping sharply at 50,000+ units. These figures are for mid-range custom-printed paper lunch boxes and adjacent paper takeaway boxes, so the lowest tiers are anchored by wholesale stock and higher tiers by factory quotes.
