What moves the price
For retort carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, coating, print colors, window patch — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for retort cartons specifically was not available in the search results, so these bands are anchored to real wholesale folding-carton and retort-packaging supplier quotes and adjusted to a mid-range custom-printed carton configuration. The main price drivers are board caliper, coating/retort barrier performance, print complexity, and whether a window patch or specialty finish is added. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom packaging brokers and offshore factory-direct suppliers; landed-equivalent pricing is typically lowest at higher volumes, while small runs carry much higher setup and prepress amortization costs
