WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTION (U.S.) VERSUS OVERSEAS PRODUCTION (CHINA)?

  • Importing products (via ocean freight) takes time. On average, it can take 20-25 days to ship an order from our overseas factory to your door. With domestic production, the shipping time is reduced to approximately 5-7 days. (Air freight delivery is also a viable overseas option which would greatly reduce import time, however there is an added cost.)
  • You are only required to pay for domestic shipping, as there are no additional import or handling fees. Even for minimum quantity import orders, these extra fees can sometimes total hundreds of dollars.
  • When an order is produced domestically, your money is benefiting the U.S. economy.
  • Fabrics and materials are also domestically produced. This means that your item can be marketed as "Made in the USA" and will carry a USA label.
  • As is the case with our foreign factories, our U.S. factory can also produce low quantity orders.

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTION (U.S.) VERSUS OVERSEAS PRODUCTION (CHINA)?

  • Generally, domestic production will cost several dollars more (per piece) versus foreign production. If you aren't sure that your customers are willing to pay the added cost, or if you are working from a limited budget, this issue should be carefully considered.
  • While our U.S. factory has access to more commonly used plush fabrics, there are limitations on special fabrics. The Chinese marketplace offers a much larger selection.
  • Domestic prototypes cost twice as much as foreign samples, however the fee is 100% refundable upon order placement.
