Supply chain management has become increasingly important in a post-pandemic landscape. Businesses are experiencing many supply chain-related challenges that are disruptive to their normal operations. These difficulties include rising shipping costs, bottlenecks due to international restrictions, labor shortages and strikes, and much more. All of this can lead to unnecessary and unexpected expenses. For example, the average cost to ship a 40-foot shipping container was $11,000 in 2021, while the same container cost $1,300 before the pandemic.
While prices have recently slowly started to stabilize, the uncertainty that comes with supply chain challenges continues, so it is more advantageous to use domestic suppliers. Here, we’ll dive into the benefits of using domestic metal stamping services and why HTT is the perfect partner for your next project.
The Benefits of Using Domestic Metal Stamping Services
Cost-effective
Domestic metal stamping services are more cost-effective than using an international supplier. Transporting products internationally involves excess shipping costs that can be exorbitant. Additionally, shipping delays are common, but hard to predict. Working with an international metal stamping supplier will most likely involve delays that are not only frustrating, but costly as well. Domestic metal stamping services removes that risk, and reduces overall shipping costs, saving you money.
Streamlined Processes
When you use a domestic metal stamper, this means you can streamline your processes, which results in more efficient production. This is especially true when you work with a partner that has in-house services, like powder coating and metal fabrication. Domestic metal stampers who provide those essential services, including secondary processes, ensure your production is streamlined from beginning to end. You don’t have to worry about finding and paying for additional outside vendors, or shipping products to those vendors. Instead, you can rest assured that your domestic metal stamper will provide all necessary services in-house, eliminating unnecessary steps as you move towards production.
More Comprehensive Customer Support
A domestic metal stamper can offer more comprehensive start-to-finish support. With a metal stamper that is based in the US, you don’t have to worry about time differences or costly international phone calls to communicate your product specifications. Instead, you can expect enhanced communication, ensuring that your needs are accurately being heard and addressed.
Faster Production
When production is streamlined, that means production is efficient, resulting in your product reaching the market faster which saves you both time and money and gives you a competitive advantage. With more streamlined domestic metal stamping services, you can also expect reduced errors because of enhanced communication between you and the manufacturer. When errors are eliminated, production is ultimately more efficient, proving again to be more cost-effective.
