Bread Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.85 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.16 at volume, on a typical 21-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 bread box, the drivers are board grade, divider type, insert type, print method, MOQ, burst strength, material, compartment count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale folding-carton pricing shows strong volume breaks, with standard CMYK tuck-end cartons quoted around $0.40–$1.50 at 500–999 units, falling to roughly $0.12–$0.40 at 10,000+ units. A separate custom-folding-carton example for a 5,000-piece 350gsm C1S straight tuck carton with CMYK print and matte aqueous coating was cited at about $0.24/unit before freight, while adding premium finishes like soft-touch and foil raised it to about $0.41/unit. Realistic supplier routes are custom packaging converters and trade wholesalers offering offset-printed SBS/C1S cartons; window patches, heavier board, more colors, and specialty coatings push the price upward, while larger repeat runs and simpler print keep it down.
