However, there are factors that you must keep in mind and these can affect your decision significantly, such as the cost.
Choosing an overseas contractor can be cheaper, but there is a high chance that you will sacrifice other important factors, such as quality of the final products, lead-time, and the risk of your product models being copied by others. In the end, your products and your company can be put at risk as well.
Choosing domestic manufacturers over overseas ones can provide you with a lot of benefits.
Here are some of the benefits of choosing US-based, domestic high volume cut and sewing services contractors:
Quality
The quality of the products, especially if there is a high volume requirement involved in your order, can be significantly affected. Overseas contractors have looser labor laws that can result in inferior quality because of the push for quantity over quality.
If you choose LCR Services, we will make sure that we will provide you with the best quality of the products according to your manufacturing needs and specific requests, regardless of how big or small your order is.
Intellectual Property Risk
Domestic manufacturers that are based in the US are legally required to follow property rights protection in the items that they manufacture in order to protect the intellectual property rights of their rightful owners. Overseas companies have less intellectual property laws so there is a great chance of your products to be copied by others.
Lead times
Choosing overseas contractors can mean that the turnaround time will be longer. The window of time before the products arrive can be quite long and the delivery time may be extended even further by other factors, one of them is a strict customs process.
Communication
Communication is vital to any relationship, especially those that are involved in a business. There is a chance that there will be hindrances that can affect communication with an overseas company, such as differences in time zones and language barriers which can be quite frustrating if you are chasing deadlines and have clients waiting for their orders.
