What moves the price
For paper bag, the drivers are capacity, material finish, child-resistant style, odor barrier, print coverage, gusset type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published and quoted pricing shows sewn open mouth multiwall paper bags around $0.86 each for a custom 18x6x38 bag with scrim, lamination, sewing, easy-open tape, gusset, and micro-perforation, while a US-facing bulk supplier lists similar SOM bags at $0.58–$0.72 each depending on liner and paper build. The main price drivers are paper plies/GSM, liners or barrier layers, print coverage, perforation/easy-open features, and whether the bag is stock or factory-direct custom. Realistic sourcing routes are US packaging distributors for small-to-mid volumes and offshore factory-direct or import marketplaces for 10k+ units, with lead times typically in the 2–4 week range for custom orders
