Native like or not no. 20 - how can I make it sound natural?

Dear All,

Here's a sentence:

Tupperware produces high-quality plastic boxes and since the company's establishment, their products have taken off quite quickly. The problem is that their prices are too high for many people who are unwilling to pay too much for something that is just boxes.

Can you help me polish this sentence up and make it more native-like?

Thanks,

Tupperware is an old company (est. 1948), so I don't think the second clause of your first sentence is relevant. Tupperware produces high-quality plastic boxes, but their prices are too high for those who are unwilling to pay very much for something so simple.

Thanks MM.

Would you find this one acceptable too?

Customers are unwilling to pay too much for something as simple as a box/boxes.
