Shelf Ready Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.60 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.45 at volume, on a typical 14-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 shelf ready carton, the drivers are dimensions, board grade, flute type, print method, closure style — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Shelf-ready carton pricing is driven most by board grade, flute type, print coverage, die-cut complexity, and whether the pack uses perforations, tear-away panels, or glue/lock closures. Real supplier routes that are realistic for US buyers are custom packaging wholesalers and corrugated converters quoting SRP/retail-ready packaging, with landed import quotes usually only becoming competitive at higher volumes. The most credible published pricing in the results is for SRP at Cubit Packaging and adjacent custom-box wholesale pricing from US-facing suppliers; very large runs generally need factory quotes rather than published rate cards.
