What moves the price
For tea carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, coating, print colors, window patch — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a mid-range custom tea carton, the main cost drivers are board grade/caliper, print coverage, coating/lamination, and whether a window patch or special finishing is added; rigid or heavily finished cartons price materially above simple folding cartons. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom packaging brokers, direct China/Asia factories selling FOB or landed-equivalent, and wholesale packaging suppliers quoting tiered MOQs; simple folding cartons tend to sit near the low end, while premium printed or rigid formats sit much higher. Lead times commonly run about 4-8 weeks depending on tooling, proofing, and shipping, with higher-volume offshore programs trending toward the longer end.
