Researched profile. The figures here are modelled by us from public information, published with the sources they were drawn from. How we research.
Read Sep 2026. Figures here are a reading taken then, not a live feed.
Of a $24 box, about half is left once postage, Amazon’s fee and the cost of making it are paid. Postage is the biggest cost by far; making the game, on one factory’s quote, is under a dollar.
There is one product to cost, because Scratch & Swing is every measured sale in September. A box is fifty-seven printed scratch-off cards, three foil packs and a printed tuck box, which card printers make to order. One Alibaba factory quoted that kit, from 500 boxes, and the cost to make rests on its price alone, by the owner’s decision; two more answered, but not in a form that could be priced like for like. The tariff leans on that price and the freight on the box it quoted.

| Supplier | Track record | Buyer rating | Sold on Alibaba | MOQ | Unit price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dongguan KK Technology Co., LTD | — | — | — | 500 sets | $0.67–2.43 |
| Average — the cost to make used below | $0.88 |
One supplier, and the cost to make rests on it alone, by the owner’s decision. Dongguan KK quoted the whole kit — 57 scratch-off cards, three foil booster packs and a 15 × 9 × 4 cm tuck box, shrink-wrapped — EXW, with plates and setup in the price: $2.43 a set at 500, $1.62 at 1,000, $1.05 at 3,000, $0.88 at 5,000 and $0.67 at 10,000. The figure used is the 5,000 tier, nearest the brand’s yearly sales of about 6,000 at September’s pace. A sample set is $320. A second factory, Hongju, quoted a rigid lid-and-base box rather than a tuck box, and its price could not be checked against a screenshot; a third, Bonroy, gave only ballpark ranges. Neither is in the price. Requested through Alibaba’s sourcing agent (Accio) in October 2026 and checked against its screenshot of the reply; the suppliers’ store ratings were not read.
| Input | Figure | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Carton | 15 × 9 × 4 cm, 0.23 kg | The tuck box the factory quoted; no package size is published for B0GNWNXFY1, and the listing gives 8 oz |
| Volume | 0.00054 cbm | The carton, in cubic metres |
| Rate | $497 / cbm | Less-than-container-load, China → US West Coast, door to door |
| Shipping, per box | $0.27 | 0.00054 cbm × $497 |
The rate is the low end of Freightos’ band, $497 to $4,241 a cbm; the top prices express services a first order would not buy. It is door to door, customs clearance and delivery included, and excludes the duty, which is its own line. The box is the size the factory quoted, not a measured Scratch & Swing box; a box twice the size would add 27 cents.
| Line | Per box | From |
|---|---|---|
| Production | $0.88 | One Alibaba supplier’s quote, at 5,000 boxes — COGS table above |
| Tariff | $0.18 | 20% of the cost to make, assuming China origin — the tariff line below |
| Shipping | $0.27 | The quoted box at $497/cbm — shipping table above |
| Landed cost | $1.33 | What one box costs to get to their door, before it sells |
The first three lines of the breakdown below, added up: $1.33 is 5.5% of the $24 price. It covers making the box and bringing it in, not posting it to the buyer or Amazon’s fee, which are their own lines.
Posting it themselves is the decision that shapes the margin: postage is the largest line, bigger than Amazon’s fee and more than seven times the quoted cost to make. In exchange the stock stays with them, sold from the same shelf as their own store’s orders. What it gives up is the Prime badge, on a listing that competes with Prime games on every golf search.
Profit here is a modelled ceiling on one factory’s quote for the cost to make, at 5,000 boxes, and an assumed origin for the tariff. At 500 boxes, that factory’s smallest order, the same kit is $2.43, which with its tariff would take nearly eight points off the margin.
