What moves the price
For tin insert card, the drivers are pack size, humidity level, unit weight — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Real quoted pricing for custom insert cards is most directly available from general print and packaging suppliers, with published tiers around $0.21 at 5,000 units and $0.27-$0.29 at 1,000-2,499 units, while packaging-manufacturer price guides show about $0.19 at 10,000+ for insert-card-like components. For tin insert cards, the main price drivers are card stock/thickness, print coverage, and whether the insert is plain paperboard versus a die-cut or coated board; humidity resistance and heavier unit weight usually push pricing toward the upper end. The most realistic sourcing routes are U.S.-facing custom print shops for small and mid volumes, and offshore packaging manufacturers/import brokers for the 25k+ tiers, where landed-equivalent pricing can be materially lower
