Hello,
I have a small and steadily growing arts company with a current focus of greeting cards, journals, and we are now dabbling with clothing. Original fine art cards have been our main thing. Our company is now at the point where we need to begin outsourcing our printing and some of the production. We currently have glittered products that need to be machine done- we've been doing by hand- CRAZY!
I have been reluctant to start having our stuff done outside the U.S- so much to know and I am very new to all of this. But luckily success is pushing us to get the ball rolling. I want to be as sure as i can be that i am participating in only positive businesses that take care of employees etc. i do not want to go outside the U.S all to save a buck at soemones elses "expense". There are many other things that i havn't a clue about yet. Are there middle men who can fascilitate the outsourcing? What are the concerns with importing those jobs etc?
I am not sure if i am in the righ tplace for these questions. Any thoughts?
