THINKING ABOUT CHINA?

With so many companies having to watch their bottom line, the dangling carrot of cheaper manufacturing and labour costs can seem enticing.  Why get product made in North America when China seems like a better option?

The reality of the situation is that producing in China can cost businesses a whole lot more in the long run.

From tainted milk products and pet food, to lead in children’s toys, China has a long history of manufacturing debaucheries.

While some companies have set up their own monitored and responsible manufacturing in China, their reputation still continues to precede them.   According to Boston.com, 60% of all recalled products last year hailed directly from China.

With strict guidelines In Canada and the U.S. about consumer safety, taking risks with China and potential recalls is dangerous business.

 

 

YOU DON’T NEED TO GO ANYWHERE…

There is a bright side to all of this, for the Children’s sticker market in particular.  At one time China seemed an inevitable choice,  but  with the progression of Digital printing technology,  sticker manufacturing in North America is now completely affordable.  Digital printing is also fast, so no waiting for the shipment to come from overseas;  No more capital being tied up in China’s common prepayment plans.;  What’s more, a business can rest at ease knowing that their product is free from harmful toxins and lead, as North America has some of the strictest regulations regarding child safety.

From scratch and sniff to holographic, from glow in the dark to plain old paper stickers, the novelty sticker market is coming back to our soil.
