Wholesale Custom Boxes: When Volume Pricing Kicks In

How wholesale pricing works

Unit price drops sharply with volume because setup and tooling costs spread across more units. A 100-box digital run is economical because there are no plates, but a 5,000-box offset run has a far lower per-unit cost. We quote the most cost-effective method for your quantity automatically.

Where the price breaks sit

• 100–750 units — digital printing, no plate costs
• ~1,000 units — offset becomes cheaper per unit
• ~5,000 units — meaningful volume pricing
• ~10,000+ units — lowest per-unit cost, schedule early

Test low, then scale

The smart path is to test a design at low MOQ, prove it with real customers, then reorder at volume. Because we store tooling free and reuse it on reorders, your unit price drops as you scale without changing supplier or re-approving a dieline. The same team runs your 50-box test and your 50,000-box wholesale order.
