A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.70 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.09 at volume, on a typical 10-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For corrugated insert, the drivers are roll dimensions, material, cushion rating, recyclability — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Corrugated insert pricing is driven mainly by insert size, board grade/flute, cut complexity, and whether the job is plain die-cut, printed, or uses a custom profile. Mid-range wholesale quotes commonly sit around $0.12-$0.28 at mid-volume for simple inserts, with more complex corrugated die-cuts higher, while some US-facing suppliers publish starting prices near $0.15-$0.40 depending on MOQ and specification. Realistic routes are custom packaging brokers/print shops for lower MOQ and factory-direct or import-equivalent sourcing for 5,000+ units; lead times around 7-10 business days are quoted by at least one custom-corrugated supplier, though production plus freight can extend this for larger runs.
