Paper Carrier: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.685 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.55 at volume, on a typical 15-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 paper carrier, the drivers are jug count, handle reinforcement, reusability, sanitation resistance, regional compliance, carton count, board grade, moisture resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing pricing for custom document holders is sparse, but 4imprint lists custom document holders at $0.55 to $0.85, while EasyPocketFolders publishes a custom printed document pouch at $2.20 to $2.77 depending on order size. The main price drivers are material construction, print coverage, closure/lock hardware, and sheet capacity; simple printed vinyl or polypropylene pouch-style carriers price much lower than rigid, multi-pocket, or zippered carriers. For realistic wholesale sourcing, the most dependable routes are promotional-products suppliers and custom folder/document-pouch manufacturers that quote by artwork, material, and MOQ rather than stock ecommerce listings.
