What moves the price
For tray shipper, the drivers are dimensions, board grade, flute type, burst strength, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale tray prices for adjacent paper food trays commonly land around $0.04–$0.08 per tray at 500–1,000-count case packs, while custom food-tray-box suppliers advertise starting prices around $0.55 for smaller custom runs. For a mid-range custom-printed tray shipper, price moves most with board grade, flute/profile, print coverage, and whether the order is quoted as stock-size case packs or true custom litho/flexo corrugated production. Realistic supplier routes are US food-service distributors for small orders, custom carton converters for 5k+ runs, and import/landed-equivalent sourcing for the lowest 25k+ and 100k+ tiers.
