What moves the price
For paper drink carrier, the drivers are pack count, material, can diameter fit — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale pricing is driven mainly by material (corrugated paper vs molded fiber), cup count/format, and whether the carrier is custom printed; suppliers also price by diameter fit and MOQ. Realistic supplier routes include China-based export suppliers quoting FOB pricing and North American distributors/resellers offering higher landed-equivalent wholesale pricing; custom logo work is often only shown at 10,000+ units. The strongest published low-MOQ evidence is from wholesale listings in CAD and USD, while the 10,000+ and 50,000+ bands are supported by factory FOB quotes.
