- Current die lines are not usable in the US due to machine incompatibility.
- Custom dies would need to be made, likely in Poland, costing over $6K each plus a 20% tariff.
- 5-6 dies are needed, totaling around $35K initially.
- Other production aspects include paper sourcing, quality, printing, and more.
- Relocating production to the US is currently very expensive.
- Switching manufacturers is a lengthy process (over a year) with risks of higher costs and compromised quality.
- Small businesses bear all the risk, with potential tariff changes post-Trump administration.
