Hat Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.29 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.05 at volume. 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 hat box, the drivers are material, rigidity, compartments, print, finish, lid style, file system compatibility, board thickness — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes for custom printed hat boxes are sparse, but the clearest published ladder comes from a Made-in-China listing that quotes US$0.29 at 500-2,999 pieces, US$0.09 at 3,000-9,999, US$0.07 at 10,000+, and US$0.05 at very large quantities. Another supplier lists a plain fedora box at US$1.29 wholesale unit price, showing that rigidity, size, and retail-ready presentation can push costs materially higher than the cheapest custom mailer-style boxes. For realistic sourcing, the lowest prices usually come from Chinese OEM/ODM carton makers or marketplace suppliers, while US-facing wholesalers tend to sell much higher-priced finished hat boxes with smaller pack sizes.
