What an enlightenment.

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

so manufacturing in the U.S. never even enters the mind, huh? if the public only knew.

[@rosebatista8193]

what do you mean if they only knew please ?

[@callmegorgeouos]

Have you contacted a manufacturer in the U.S., the cost they asked for eats up all your profits!!! A simple t-shirt prints cost more than $10 when you’re trying to sell for $15-$19.

[@ConstantineJoseph]

It is up to the government to increase incentives for local manufacturing and put tariffs on imports from China. That way it will make companies want to manufacture in the US

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Tone Montana if you have the IP rights globally and keep manufacturing domestic and export globally. You will still sell regardless of price increments. Moreover production means demand for regional increase in supply making suppliers give higher MOQ, thus lower cost per unit. In the Long run it will be beneficial.

Made in Mexico is BEST for the USA market. If you need high-tech fabric and complex embroidery then China is top notch. If you want good fabric go to Japan.
