The commercial side of the decision

Margin on about: Balancing Price Against record keeping — Distributor Focus is usually set by the structure of the deal, not the sticker. Payment terms, freight responsibility, breakage allowance and return rights all move the real number.

Freight, packaging and landed cost

Packaging is part of logistics, not marketing.
