Shipping Crate: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $300.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $90.00 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $300.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $220.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $180.00 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $150.00 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $120.00 |
| 100,000+ units | $90.00 |
What moves the price
For shipping crate, the drivers are crate material, internal dimensions, ISPM 15 compliance, reinforcement, custom foam, forklift entry, material, load rating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier quotes show a very wide spread because wood crate pricing is driven by size, construction grade, export treatment, and custom features; one U.S. supplier lists typical wooden shipping crates at $100 to $800+ per crate, while industrial listings for heavier-duty and automotive-use crates show materially higher quote bands. For automotive applications, realistic supplier routes are custom crate manufacturers, packaging integrators, and freight/industrial packaging specialists rather than catalog stock sellers. The quoted range narrows only when the design is standardized and volume is high; custom print, tamper resistance, cushioning, and reusable/collapsible hardware all push prices upward.
