Unit Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.95 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.07 at volume, on a typical 21-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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.95 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.58 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.32 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.22 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.12 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.07 |
What moves the price
For unit carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, braille, print colors — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For custom pharmaceutical/supplement unit cartons, the biggest price drivers are board caliper, print complexity, dimensions, and compliance features such as Braille, serialization, and leaflet/insert handling. Real supplier routes are usually quote-based packaging specialists for US-facing short runs, or offshore/custom-box marketplaces with landed-equivalent pricing at higher volumes; published pricing tends to appear as nearby packaging categories rather than exact medicine-carton SKUs. Entry-tier pricing is materially higher because die-cut setup, plates, and proofing are spread across fewer units, while per-unit cost drops sharply once quantities move into the 5,000+ and especially 25,000+ range
