Palette Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.61 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.09 at volume, on a typical 21-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 palette 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.
Custom eyeshadow/palette cartons are priced mainly by board grade/caliper, print coverage, coating/finish, and whether the run is offset-printed or sourced as a stock-style mailer box. A real wholesale packaging quote for custom eyeshadow boxes shows $0.40 at 500–4,999 units, $0.29 at 5,000–9,999, and $0.19 at 10,000+; a separate volume quote for makeup boxes shows about $0.93 at 600–2,700, $0.83 at 5,400, and $0.73 at 10,800, supporting a lower landed-equivalent band for simpler cartons at scale. The most realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom packaging firms for smaller runs and China/import wholesalers for 5,000+ units, with prices falling sharply when using standard dimensions and fewer print colors.
