Packaging Carton: wholesale price

A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.15 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.35 at volume, on a typical 15-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 packaging carton, the drivers are grease resistance level, paper treatment, print durability, food-contact compliance, coating type, barrier laminate structure, moisture resistance, grease resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

Price is driven most by board grade/ECT or burst strength, print coverage, die-cut complexity, and dimensions; recycled content and higher flute/liner specs also raise cost. Realistic supplier routes are US wholesale box converters for domestic runs and import/factory-direct marketplaces for lower landed pricing at higher volumes; the quoted market ranges used here come from wholesale packaging suppliers and pricing guides for corrugated shipping cartons.

Also known as: corrugated carton, kraft carton, shipping carton.
