Your Questions Answered
In today’s global market, businesses face increasing challenges with tariffs, sustainability goals, and supply chain disruptions. Here are some common questions—and practical solutions—to help you navigate these hurdles while keeping costs low and quality high.
How Can My Business Avoid Rising Tariffs?
With tariffs on imports from China expected to rise by 60–100%, businesses face significant cost increases. Sourcing products from alternative markets, such as Thailand, can help sidestep these added costs.
What does this mean for your business?
You could save up to 50% by choosing products made in tariff-friendly regions. This means maintaining quality and staying competitive without scrambling to overhaul your supply chain or sacrificing profitability.
How Can I Ensure Uninterrupted Supply During Peak Seasons?
A major challenge for businesses is ensuring a consistent supply during high-demand periods. Manufacturers in certain regions often close for extended holidays, leading to delays.
What’s the solution?
Look for manufacturers that operate year-round. For instance, facilities in Thailand, like SoGreenPack, run 24/7. With the capacity to produce one container daily—and scale up to five containers during peak demand—these facilities ensure uninterrupted supply and timely deliveries.
How Can I Lower My Shipping Costs?
Shipping inefficiencies and poorly packed containers can significantly drive up costs.
What’s the answer?
Partner with suppliers who maximize container packing efficiency, so you get more products per shipment. This reduces your cost per unit, minimizes shipping expenses, and boosts your bottom line—all without compromising on quality.
How Can I Avoid Delays in My Supply Chain?
Congested ports and long shipping routes often result in frustrating delays for businesses reliant on international suppliers.
What’s the alternative?
Choose suppliers located in regions with shorter, more efficient shipping routes. Orders from Thailand, for example, can often be delivered in as little as 21 days door-to-door, avoiding congested ports and reducing transit time. Faster turnaround means fewer interruptions for your operations.
How Can I Protect My Business from Supply Chain Uncertainty?
Tariffs, delivery delays, and inefficiencies create volatility that can disrupt business operations.
How can you secure your operations?
Work with suppliers that offer:
Reliable pricing
Efficient fulfillment
Sustainable practices
By partnering with the right supplier, you can establish a stable and predictable supply chain that keeps your business competitive, even in uncertain times.
Is Sustainability Still Possible While Cutting Costs?
In challenging times, sustainability often feels like a luxury businesses can’t afford. But that doesn’t have to be the case.
What’s the key?
Suppliers with eco-friendly operations can help you meet sustainability goals without increasing costs. Ethical practices such as Fair Trade compliance and sustainable sourcing reduce environmental impact while strengthening your brand’s reputation with eco-conscious customers.
What About My Brand's image?
Your products are an extension of your brand, and customization can seem expensive, time-consuming, and risky during transitions.
What’s the reality?
Advanced facilities can replicate your current designs or even improve them, offering multiple printing options and tailored styles. Customization doesn’t have to be a hassle—it can enhance your brand while staying within budget.
Ready to Take Action?
Don’t let tariffs or supply chain challenges disrupt your business. By sourcing smarter and focusing on reliable, cost-effective solutions, you can protect your bottom line while maintaining quality and sustainability.
