With a common MOQ of 250 cartons, buyers must commit to significant volume to access competitive pricing, meaning they can only achieve cost advantages through scale—so small orders are not viable. Meanwhile, the wide reference price range of $6.5 to $96 per carton reveals substantial variation in cost, allowing buyers to choose between budget-friendly options from China and premium formulations from South Korea or Belgium. This combination gives buyers strategic flexibility to match their budget, brand positioning, and quality expectations without being locked into a single supplier or pricing tier.
