Coordinate production around the destination.
International apparel work begins with destination, quantity, timing and the available regional production path. Shepherds first evaluates qualified suppliers near the client when practical instead of assuming every order should ship from California.
Production changes when borders are involved.
This brief helps Shepherds evaluate whether regional production, U.S. production or another fulfillment path makes sense for the project.
- Destination: where the garments ultimately need to arrive.
- Production: garment, decoration and quantity requirements.
- Fulfillment: bulk delivery, multiple locations or individual distribution.
- Logistics: timing, customs considerations and local supplier capability.
When a qualified regional supplier is used, Shepherds coordinates the project but the merchandise is produced and fulfilled by that supplier rather than manufactured or fulfilled in-house from Berkeley.
Tell us where the order is going and what needs to be produced.
We coordinate the production path before committing the order.
Shepherds first looks for a qualified supplier near the destination when practical. Supplier capabilities, garments, decoration methods, freight, duties and turnaround are confirmed before the client approves production.
