What moves the price
For tea boxes, the drivers are material, rigidity, compartments, print, finish, lid style, file system compatibility, board thickness — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted pricing for custom tea boxes is driven most by board grade/rigidity, print coverage, and finishes such as matte, foil, embossing, or window patching. Real supplier routes that match these numbers are custom box converters and packaging brokers selling folding cartons or rigid gift boxes; the lowest tiers are for standard SBS/kraft folding cartons, while premium rigid boxes are materially higher. Lead times in the cited supplier material are roughly 6-8 weeks for standard runs, with custom work commonly around 10-15 business days after artwork approval plus production time.
