Takeout Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 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.

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.05 |

What moves the price
For takeout carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, coating, print colors, window patch — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted pricing for custom takeout cartons is driven most by board type/caliper, print coverage/colors, coating, and add-ons like window patches; lower-volume US-facing wholesalers tend to sell stocked or semi-custom cartons at much higher per-unit prices than factory-direct custom runs. Realistic sourcing routes are US wholesale distributors for 500-4,999 units and overseas factory-direct/import suppliers for 5,000+ units, where published FOB pricing drops sharply at larger quantities. The lowest tiers here are based on published bulk factory quotations for customizable takeout cartons, while the higher 500-4,999 ranges are anchored to US-facing wholesale case pricing for comparable foodservice cartons and boxes.
