Regional production and fulfillment when it makes sense.
For apparel projects outside the United States, Shepherds will first look for qualified production and fulfillment partners within the client’s region whenever practical. Producing closer to the final destination can reduce cross-border shipping costs, customs complexity and delivery times while keeping the project closer to the people receiving it.
Shepherds remains involved in project planning, garment specifications, artwork preparation, production requirements and supplier coordination. When a regional partner is used, however, the merchandise is produced and fulfilled by that partner rather than manufactured or fulfilled directly through our Berkeley operation.
Production capabilities, available garments, decoration methods, turnaround times and fulfillment options vary by market and supplier. Before production begins, Shepherds confirms the proposed production path, available specifications and relevant limitations with the client.
