Toy Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.09 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For toy box, the drivers are board grade, print method, coating, insert style, magnetic closure, dimensions, material, die-cut style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Price is moved most by board grade, print coverage, and finish: folded paperboard cartons with 4-color print and basic coating are far cheaper than rigid or heavy corrugated gift-style boxes, while inserts, specialty coatings, and compliance-driven packaging add cost. The most realistic routes are U.S.-facing wholesale packaging converters for lower MOQs and faster turnaround, or direct import/FOB China pricing for the 10k+ tiers where per-unit costs drop sharply.
