Tray Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.24 at volume, on a typical 21-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 tray carton, the drivers are material, cut pattern, cavity count, thickness, shock protection, print, finish, board grade — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Price is driven mainly by board grade, wall thickness, die-cut complexity, print coverage, and whether the tray needs extra shock protection or cavity features; fully custom printed trays usually price above plain stock corrugated boxes. Realistic sourcing routes are US wholesale packaging suppliers for smaller runs and factory-direct/import or landed-equivalent quotes for 10,000+ units, where unit costs drop sharply with scale. The ranges above are anchored to published wholesale corrugated-box and corrugated-tray pricing from US-facing suppliers and market guides, then narrowed to a mid-range custom-printed tray configuration.
