Tariff Updates 2025

This week, new global tariffs were announced that impact costs across industries—including ours. The tariffs affect imported finished products and raw materials for domestic production, creating ripple effects across every tier of our industry. We find ourselves operating in a VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity), and these developments underscore the challenges of navigating sudden market shifts.

As your dedicated partner, we’re committed to leading with clear communication, understanding, clarity and agile strategies. By anticipating disruptions and implementing safeguards, we’re positioned to support you and your clients as we adapt collectively. Thanks to strategic supply chain planning and timely partner negotiations, we’ve been able to partially mitigate the impact of the new tariffs.

Here’s how we’re simplifying complexity and creating stability for your business in these volatile and uncertain times:

  • Quote Validity - Clarity: All open quotes created on or after March 10, 2025 expire at the end of business day April 11, 2025.
  • Pricing Updates - Transparency: Over the next two days, we will begin implementing price increases across our product line, with changes being completed by April 11.
  • Opportunity Window - Agile: We understand the immense difficulty of handling the volume of projects you do, so for those who proceed with orders prior to the new pricing going into effect, you and your clients will benefit from current pricing. We will absorb the impact for those projects already quoted and in production, so now is the time to finalize any pending projects.

Looking towards the future, we’re diversifying and adding redundancy not only to address current pressures but future-proofing access to the premium, fully customizable products your clients expect.

In uncertain times, we all look to hold onto something and that is where quality and impact matter more than ever—a shift that aligns with our shared focus on meaningful brand experiences, executed through quality branded merch that end users keep and integrate into their everyday lives.
