What moves the price
For carton liner, the drivers are diameter, length, material, individually wrapped, pointed tip, flexibility, paper grade, flute style — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale carton-liner pricing is most concrete for plastic HDPE carton liners, where Australian trade suppliers quote about A$83-A$244 per thousand units at small MOQ, translating to roughly US$0.05-US$0.16 per liner before freight and taxes, while a Chinese export listing shows US$0.02-US$0.12 per piece at 100,000-piece MOQ. For custom-printed paper or folded interior liners, pricing is driven mainly by board grade, print coverage, coating, die-cutting/folding complexity, and fit accuracy; those suppliers usually quote case-by-case rather than publishing full ladders. Realistic sourcing routes are food-packaging wholesalers for stock plastic liners, and custom packaging converters or China-based import manufacturers for printed/folded liners
