Flat Bottom Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.15 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.20 at volume, on a typical 25-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 flat bottom carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, coating, print colors, window patch — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a custom-printed flat-bottom carton, price moves mainly with board grade/caliper, print complexity, coating, and whether a window patch is added; those features are explicitly called out as major cost drivers in packaging pricing guides. Realistic sourcing routes are US-facing custom carton suppliers and trade distributors for higher-volume domestic runs, or import/landed-equivalent quotes from Asian manufacturers when the target is the low end of the band; published wholesale carton guides and custom packaging guides show prices falling sharply as volume rises. The tiered values above are anchored to published custom folding-carton and printed carton benchmarks, then extended to larger MOQ bands using the observed wholesale discount pattern, so the largest tiers are less certain than the smaller ones.
