PRODUCTION

ART MGMT

How on earth can we afford this?

As the steady rise in the global cost of goods leads to continued inflation, consumers are less willing to spent their money on more than what they need. Gone are the days of marketing “buy more, spend less” a strategy retailers used retain customers through frequent introduction of new product lines and discounted prices for last season. Fast fashion led to a very materialistic culture that turned clothing into disposable waste just as detrimental to the planet as single use packaging.

With less demand to design new lines for which Artificial Intelligence can create at a much faster pace, we’ve begun shifting our focus to streamlining the production process to keep the cost of goods down. We can take a flat concept image generated by AI and turn it into production ready art with text that can be edited, images that can be updated, and include all information to meet packaging compliance regulations.

We also coordinate directly with overseas factories, assuring your packaging is functional and cost effective. We can globally source materials and manufacturers, set up art in die lines, build production files with embossing, spot varnishes, foil stamping, and white backup layers to meet client specifications.

With more than twenty years of experience and a global network of Human Resources, we can materialize the products that AI can never replace. Our goal is to make goods cheaper, regardless of where on earth they are made.

Consumer Product Goods

Our goal is to lower the cost of goods so consumers don’t have to pay the price. Here’s a realistic study on what your $10.00 every day items would cost if manufactured in China, the US, or Vietnam where a living wage is much lower.

If the target retail price is $10.00, we will work with vendors to achieve the best possible margin based on quantities and delivery.

Tariffs and fuel prices don’t necessarily make it cheaper to manufacture large quantities in the US. Labor and factory overhead have a much higher cost in countries where wages are much higher. If possible we can try to manufacture for the lowest cost of goods, but logistics working with supply chains often make it easier to produce in China with a 90 day shipping window or the US for quick turnaround.
