What moves the price
For straight tuck carton, the drivers are board caliper, bottom style, print coverage, finish, glue points, die-cut complexity, board grade, dimensions — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For straight tuck cartons, the biggest price drivers are board grade/caliper, print coverage, coating or finish, and die-cut complexity; fuller graphics and premium finishes move the price up, while larger runs reduce the per-unit cost. US-facing wholesale/carton suppliers commonly quote in the broad ranges shown by folding-carton pricing guides, while small-run pricing is often higher because setup and prepress costs are spread across fewer units. The most realistic routes are domestic folding-carton converters for 500-25,000 units and offshore/import or high-volume trade suppliers for 25,000+ units, with landed-equivalent pricing usually closest to the low end at very large volumes
