Child-Resistant Packaging: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.55 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.

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.55 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.40 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.29 |

What moves the price
For child-resistant packaging, the drivers are hazard class, UN rating, ventilation, material, flammable contents rating, board grade, print, closure style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale quotes for custom child-resistant boxes cluster around $0.40 at 500-4,999 pieces, $0.29 at 5,000-9,999, and $0.19 at 10,000+ from a US-facing custom packaging supplier, while other suppliers publish starting points from $0.24 to $0.35 per unit for similar custom CR packaging. Price moves most with the child-resistant mechanism, paperboard grade, print complexity, coatings/finishes, and whether the box is a simple tuck-end carton versus a more complex drawer or multi-compartment structure. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom packaging brokers/factory-direct sellers for printed cartons, or overseas manufacturers/importers when you need the lowest landed-equivalent unit cost at 10k+ quantities
