What moves the price
For paper carton liner, the drivers are diameter, length, material, individually wrapped, pointed tip, flexibility, paper grade, flute style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted supplier guidance for printed box liners places a simple flat liner around $0.14-$0.24 at 5,000 pieces, a folded wrap liner around $0.22-$0.38, and a die-cut insert around $0.15-$0.35, with coated or specialty constructions reaching $0.25-$0.60. For this mid-range custom-printed food-beverage liner, price is mainly moved by board grade, score/cut complexity, print coverage, coating, and fit tolerances; realistic supplier routes are US-facing packaging converters for small-to-mid runs and offshore OEM/import sourcing for the lowest 25k+ unit pricing.
