Custom Box Build: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.10 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.65 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.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.85 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.75 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.65 |
What moves the price
For custom box build, the drivers are battery voltage, material, ingress protection rating, mounting style, thermal design, assembly complexity, component count, wiring harness — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a mid-range custom box build, pricing is driven mainly by enclosure material, print/process complexity, internal partitions or inserts, harness/PCB integration, and the amount of manual assembly and testing. Realistic supplier routes are packaging manufacturers for printed boxes, and box-build/electromechanical assemblers or contract manufacturers when the job includes wiring, PCB mounting, and functional test; the cheapest quote usually comes from overseas packaging or EMS/box-build suppliers, while US-facing suppliers tend to price higher but offer lower MOQ and faster turnaround. The quoted ranges here are anchored more heavily on custom-box wholesale pricing than on true electronic box-build quotes, so they should be treated as a practical wholesale proxy rather than a precise contract-manufacturing benchmark.
