Product Sourcing and Manufacturing Services
We have many years of overseas manufacturing experience for our own online shops. This is why we have the unusual ability to extend our experience in product sourcing as well as online e-commerce development. Let us put our real world experience to work for you.
- We can supply a completely managed manufacturing and logistics solution. We'll handle on site supplier research and selection, actual production and quality control, as well as shipping logistics from start to finish.
- If your product does not need a great deal of modification between production runs, it might be feasible for us to simply research and select a supplier, organize the shipping logistics, manage the initial production and quality control runs, and turn the rest over to you to manage directly when everything is running smoothly.
Apparel Manufacturing
Men's and Women's Apparel, both knit and woven. Experienced in all facets of apparel production including textile and clothing design, manufacturing and quality control. See our apparel sourcing page.
- Complex multi-screen print fabrics, such as those used in Hawaiian Shirts. Please see our apparel sales website at Squish Hawaiian Shirts for examples.
- Hand dyed and hand crafted textiles, such as Batik and hand embroidery. These are interesting because the production runs per print can be much lower.
Wood Working
Woodwork, including custom design furniture. In addition to standard knock-down furniture, we have access to fine hardwoods and the ability to add high end custom joinery and artisanal carved details where required.
Prefabricated Buildings and Garden Structures
Pre-fabricated garden structures and small buildings to your (or our proven) designs. Espresso stands, camp cabins and bulk container loads of entire interiors for theme restaurants and custom homes are all possibilities. See our Cascade Chalet website for more information.
Stone Work
Large carved stone works, typically used for major garden features. This can tie into the buildings as well, depending on the design.
Lumber & Flooring
Bulk Lumber from Southeast Asia, especially sustainably farmed exotics such as Merbau (for flooring and decking), Bengkirai, Teak, Mahogany etc. Tongue and groove, custom milling, and high quality plywood in these materials are also available. Container quantities only.
Metal Production
Large wrought and welded metal work, such as garden gazebos, awnings, custom fences, and other designs. Precision components and parts from CAD drawings, either cast and machined metal or injection molded plastic.
Minimum Production Quantites
Minimum orders for custom overseas production vary greatly by commodity, however here are some guidelines: Apparel is generally 1000-1500 pcs. per design, all custom crafted wood, metal, and stone items are one full container mixed. Plastic and precision metal items minimums are dictated by mold costs and part complexity and will need further consultation.
Our Fees
There are many variables that can influence our service costs, however 15% of the production costs, plus expenses, can be planned as our basic fee. Our extensive experience in Asia means that this is recovered in lower costs on the first order.
We are happy to arrange consultation on any of your sourcing needs. Assistance is available for most volume levels of production.
