What moves the price
For sleeve carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, finish, print colors — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For sleeve cartons, price moves most with board caliper, print coverage/colors, and finish; the cited supplier guidance shows lower pricing at 5,000+ and 10,000+ tiers, with matte lamination and richer finishes raising unit cost. Realistic supplier routes are US-facing custom packaging brokers/print shops quoting offshore production, or direct import-style sourcing where carton price is quoted ex-factory and freight is added separately. The most defensible published lead times for standard cosmetic carton runs are roughly 15-20 business days after proof approval, before shipping.
