What moves the price
For cake board, the drivers are diameter, material, compatibility, seal type, venting, color, voltage, seal diameter — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale listings show very wide pricing by material and build: premium retail-style boards from US bakery suppliers are far above factory-direct corrugated/paperboard pricing, while China factory listings quote low FOB prices that drop sharply at 5k, 10k, and 50k+ quantities. The biggest price drivers are thickness/drum style, laminated foil or print, board rigidity/shock protection, and whether the board is plain stock or custom-branded. Realistic supplier routes are US bakery wholesalers for low-MOQ branded stock and import/factory-direct manufacturers for custom printed runs at 5,000+ pieces
