A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.95 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.22 at volume, on a typical 14-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 printed carton, the drivers are battery voltage, material, ingress protection rating, mounting style, thermal design, assembly complexity, component count, wiring harness — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published supplier pricing for corrugated/carton packaging and custom electronics boxes shows the biggest swings from board grade, wall construction, print coverage, and whether the carton is a plain shipping box or a fit-for-device master pack with inserts or tamper evidence. Realistic buying routes are US-facing packaging resellers, Alibaba/Made-in-China/Global Sources factories, and direct import quotes; landed-equivalent pricing is usually lower than domestic FOB quotes once freight is amortized at high volume. The most credible quotes in the search results cluster around $0.50 at 5,000–9,999 units, $0.40 at 10,000–99,999, and $0.30 at 100,000+ for custom shipping cartons, while broader custom-box guides support higher prices at lower tiers
