What moves the price

For pharmaceutical 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.

Pricing is driven primarily by carton size, paperboard grade/caliper, print method/colors, and finishing such as matte or gloss lamination; setup and plate costs matter most at low volumes. The most realistic sourcing routes are custom folding-carton converters and packaging brokers with US-facing wholesale programs, while the quoted figures here align with published wholesale carton tiers and a medicine-carton OEM guide for a standard 4-color SBS carton. At higher volumes, direct import/OEM supply tends to be cheaper than domestic short-run packaging, but shipping, duty, and quality verification can materially change the landed cost.

Also known as: drug carton, medicated carton, otc carton, rx carton.
