If you are a buyer of merchandise or promotional products, here is some helpful advice on a topic that is becoming extremely important to consider beyond the need for low cost and high quality; to ensure that the merchandise items that you are buying and customizing with your logo come from company who use trusted sources of first class suppliers in compliance with global trading regulations and working condition requirements.
This is not just about being a conscious consumer or buyer - this is about avoiding potential lawsuits. If your merchandise fails to meet American standards laws, you risk steep financial fees. Even worse, it could put you in jail.
The Internet and newspapers are full of examples of manufactures of glassware that have irresponsibly utilized Chinese sweat shop operations, under age workers and dangerous chemical compounds in the manufacturing process. This is not something you can afford to gamble with and could cost you years of legal fees and court costs.
Having the wrong supplier sourcing products from irresponsible sub-suppliers could end up becoming a significant problem for you and your company should your merchandise item not meet American requirements and laws.
In today's cut throat business climate and pursuit for quick deals, many of the sub-par promotional product suppliers have failed to establish clear purchasing criteria and standards and as a result import glassware from third world countries that does not meet American material requirements or standards.
A good first rule of thumb is to ask your supplier what buying criteria they have in place.
Glassware and promotional products such as bottles, stainless steel travel mugs and other plastic mug items have historically used a lot of polyether and chemical compounds based on led. Over the last 20 years, manufacturers who are on the front lines of technology have eliminated the use of dangerous lead-paints, chemical compounds and polyether-formulas.
When you are considering establishing a glassware collection in your merchandise program, consult your supplier about what criteria they've used in screening content from countries like China and India. Safety should be identified as a main priority with your supplier and it should be clearly specified that all the items that are being sold are BPA-free, which means you don't have to worry about dangerous chemicals being used in the manufacturing process that will dissolve into your body.
Sport bottles, tumblers and mugs sold by first class companies should be made of Hard Plastic Polycarbonate, Soft Plastic, Stainless Steel and Aluminum.
Marketing your merchandise catalog as BPA-free and that the items you have chosen has been checked to meet American requirements is also a good marketing differentiators you should take advantage of.
