What moves the price
For corrugated insert, the drivers are roll dimensions, material, cushion rating, recyclability — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Pricing is driven most by flute type, board grade, die-cut complexity, panel count, and whether the insert is printed or plain; the biggest jumps usually come from custom die tooling and tighter tolerances. The most realistic supplier routes are US packaging converters that quote custom corrugated inserts/dividers in volume, plus import/landed-equivalent sourcing for very large runs. Publicly posted insert pricing is usually broad and often starts at low MOQs, so larger-tier bands here are inferred from those published ranges rather than exact tiered quotes.
