Waxed Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.10 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.19 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.

| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.49 |

What moves the price
For waxed box, the drivers are ventilation, condensation control, food-safe print, stacking strength, low-temperature performance, insert compatibility, tray count fit, moisture resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier quotes show wax-coated corrugated boxes commonly priced around $0.75-$1.80/unit at 500-piece MOQs, with Alibaba/Made-in-China listings dropping into the $0.10-$0.98 range as MOQs move into the 1,000-5,000+ range. The biggest price drivers are board grade and wall count, wax or paraffin coating method, print coverage, and whether the box is a standard shipping carton or a heavier produce-grade/wet-strength box. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom box converters for higher-touch jobs and China-facing trade platforms for lower per-unit pricing, usually with landed-cost tradeoffs and longer import timelines.
