To Our ClearBags Customers,
If you have seen the news lately, you know that the world is changing. Our world has become largely globalized throughout the last several decades. During this time, ClearBags was created (in 1992) and has grown to offer over 5,000 stocked products. We have worked with many factories all over the world to create these products for our customers. One of our largest partnerships was created in Korea many years ago. Eventually, in an effort to provide better options for you, they relocated to China and have operated successfully there for many years. As we have added product lines, we have added partners. We have partners in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Honduras, and The United States.
We have always looked for the best places to make our products for the highest quality results. For many of the products we have created and designed, we have had to work for quite a while with a factory to get it just right. These processes take time, but we have persisted and in many cases helped these factory owners level up their operations.
Many of these partners have become our dear friends as we have worked with them for many years and built our businesses together. They are good people who are doing good work, happily with creativity and ingenuity. Unfortunately, a lot of them are at risk of losing their jobs and their opportunities. This is difficult to watch.
These recent tariff increases have changed the way we can do business. With so much instability and volatility, we are having to make decisions without all the information. We know many of you are in the same boat.
Our Core Purpose at ClearBags is to provide opportunities to thrive - this includes opportunities for you to thrive with great packaging for your products. It is our desire to continue to provide those opportunities as our nation works through this trying and painful time of reformation. In order to continue to provide these opportunities, we will do what we can to source more products in the United States and countries with lower tariffs. We know this journey will take time and be bumpy at times. It will be expensive and we are prepared to shoulder a lot of that expense, but some of that will result in fluctuating product prices as well.
We anticipate that over the next year, you may experience prices going up and down for various products. That might mean small increases on certain items that stay at a slightly higher rate while other lines of products go up by a lot, but then come down later. There may be other small differences as we work to improve everything. Quality has always been and will remain very important to us.
We know this is not an ideal situation, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we assure you that we will do our best to make it as positive of an experience as possible.
We will continue to work hard to serve you with the quality and customer service level that you have come to expect from us. Many of you have been our loyal customers for decades. Some of you are just joining us. Wherever you are on this journey with us, we hope you will hold on as we ride this road together and weather this storm. We hope you will not be too affected. We will do our best to shield you as much as possible. We want you to be successful and thrive in your businesses. We truly value and appreciate you and your business and all of the kind words and reviews you have given us over the years. You fuel us and keep us going. We are in this for you. Thank you for being there for us.
Sincerely,
The ClearBags Team and The Wilkins Family
