Produce Box: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $6.29 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $6.29 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 produce box, the drivers are ventilation, condensation control, food-safe print, stacking strength, low-temperature performance, insert compatibility, tray count fit, moisture resistance — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale pricing found for CSA crop boxes shows 1-1/9 bushel boxes at $7.44 each for 100 or less, $6.91 each for 125-575, and $6.29 each for 600+; 3/4 bushel and 1-1/9 bushel size points from the same supplier give a realistic mid-range bracket for custom corrugated produce boxes. Auction price lists for wax produce boxes and fruit/vegetable box retailers also show much lower commodity-style box pricing around $1.00-$2.60 per unit for standard, non-custom, bulk-style boxes, indicating that board grade, wax/moisture resistance, print coverage, and freight are the main cost drivers. For larger runs, realistic supplier routes are direct-packaging wholesalers or import/landed-equivalent sourcing rather than retail produce-auction channels; no credible tiered source in the results provided a clean 10k+ custom-print ladder, so higher tiers are held flat at the closest supported wholesale quote band.
