Carton Liner: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.68 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.19 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 carton liner, the drivers are diameter, length, material, individually wrapped, pointed tip, flexibility, paper grade, flute style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale listings for corrugated pads and sheets show strong price compression with quantity: Staples and Uline list stock pads by bundle, while supplier sites such as RPC, Brandt Box, PackagingSupplies, and wholesale sheet sellers show lower effective unit costs at higher pack counts. The main price drivers are board size, caliper/strength, single- vs double-wall construction, white vs kraft, and whether the item is stock cut or custom-made; true custom printing is usually sourced through box manufacturers or import channels rather than office-supply resellers. For a mid-range custom-printed configuration, realistic routes are domestic custom corrugated converters or import/landed-equivalent sourcing; the highest-volume tiers are typically negotiated quote-only rather than published e-commerce pricing.
