At Global Pack Source, we offer a better solution. Our international pricing remains competitive—even with the new tariffs—because:
- We work with a diverse, global supply base to avoid high tariff-affected regions.
- We help you maintain reasonable MOQs and lead times.
With recent tariff changes, some companies are considering shifting their packaging production back to the U.S. But before you make the move, it’s important to look beyond the headlines. Onshoring might avoid tariffs – but it comes with new challenges that could hit your bottom line even harder:
- High MOQs: U.S. manufacturers often require minimum order quantities far above what most companies need.
- Long Lead Times: Domestic packaging production timelines now range between 6 to 12 months, making planning and flexibility difficult.
- Significantly Higher Costs: U.S. production costs remain substantially higher—and those increases go far beyond the recent tariff hikes.
- Expensive Technical Qualification: Onshoring often means switching materials, triggering costly and time-consuming stability testing on new resins.
Before you commit to a long-term onshore contract, talk to us about your options. We’re ready to help you navigate the new landscape – without sacrificing margin, speed, or flexibility.
