Dirt Cheap Manufacturing Helps a Family-Owned Plastic Bag Manufacturer Increase Sales and Broaden Their Product Line.

September 19, 2004 -- When, Peace Products Company, a family-owned, Pennsylvania based, flexible packaging manufacturer found itself continually turning away potential business because of capacity or lack of the specialized machinery needed for select orders, it turned to Dirt Cheap Manufacturing, a local expert in sourcing and manufacturing products from China.

According to Dirt Cheap Manufacturing President Kyle Burns:
"Many small businesses are losing business to larger companies who have vast sourcing and manufacturing networks around the world. The cost savings of manufacturing plastic products in China can be as much as 20% to 40%. We are committed to bringing small businesses the same competitive advantage currently available only to the fortune 500".

Within days, Dirt Cheap Manufacturing's staff in Pennsylvania and China began to evaluate Peace Products' product line, costing and delivery requirements. With Dirt Cheap Manufacturing existing network of over 130 plastic bag factories located in China, many with unique capabilities, they were able to fill any plastic bag order, plain or printed, that was requested by Peace Products.

Peace Products' Ken Trimble Jr. says, "We have been losing business to the Canadian's for years. They have traditionally had the advantage of a weak Canadian dollar, thus making their export pricing more attractive. Now we are getting it back and then some. Not only are the prices where I need them to be, quality and service are top notch. I can service my customers locally as they deal with me and my staff on a personal basis. As far as they are concerned, their products are being made locally yet they have the advantage of pricing from overseas. These guys are great".

Dirt Cheap Manufacturing now quickly provides quotes for Peace Products based on specific product specifications. They allowed Peace Products the ability to get new business that previously they were not capable of handling. Peace Products continues their manufacturing business in Pennsylvania for orders that require quick turn-around times and special service but they were able to substantially grow their business in a matter of months by going after opportunities they would have not considered previously.

A growing amount of small businesses are realizing the risk in not having an international sourcing partner in today's highly competitive global environment.

"I had searched for other sources before I found Dirt Cheap. I knew that I needed to take my business on a global level but was hesitant in dealing with foreign companies. I was concerned about credibility, culture, business practices, import/export regulations, etc. I was overwhelmed to the point where I simply ignored the opportunity. It was the fact that Dirt Cheap is American-based, has a dedicated native staff in China, responsive, and takes the time to truly understand my needs that convinced me to work with them. They have taught the Chinese companies in how to deal with the West in a business environment. And, when their prices were even better than going direct to factories in China myself, I realized that they truly knew how to help me", says Ken Trimble, Jr.

Dirt Cheap Manufacturing, with locations in Pennsylvania and Shenzhen China, is an expert in sourcing and manufacturing products from China. They have extensive experience sourcing a wide variety of promotional products as well as other printed materials. Dirt Cheap Manufacturing offers small to mid-sized companies a turn key approach to product development and sourcing.
