What moves the price
For plastic box, the drivers are gas flush system, container material, oxygen barrier, closure type, child-resistant feature, freshness retention, print method, material — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale -packaging pricing shows rigid plastic container/jar pricing around $0.18-$0.23 at 1,000-20,000 units, while custom boxes start around $0.20/unit and increase with customization. For a mid-range custom-printed plastic box, the main price drivers are child resistance, material/resin choice, wall thickness, print complexity, and whether tooling or decoration is included; domestic trade suppliers and factory-direct/import routes are the realistic sourcing paths. Larger orders typically unlock meaningful breaks after 5,000-10,000 units, with the lowest bands usually requiring factory-direct quotes or import-equivalent landed pricing rather than catalog stock.
