The tariff wars of the past month have impacted our industry on all fronts, as many of the products are sourced overseas, some are assembled in Mexico and Canada, and clients have had their production and overall budgets affected. We have been constantly monitoring for price increases from our suppliers, who have done a great job with communication and being forthright about their plans. That said, we are also fortunate to have many USA-made products for all arms of our business, including trade show displays, signage, promotional items, and even apparel. Below are some resources if you’re interested in pursuing USA-made options:
Indoor and Outdoor Display Basics
Here’s a flyer showcasing some common options for indoor and outdoor spaces, all of which are made in the USA.
Sign Stands, Trade Show, and Retail
Our supplier, based in New Jersey, has long been a leader in USA-made displays for both trade shows and retail. They produce a wide range of products, including banner stands, fabric pop-up displays, tension fabric displays, poster stands, poster frames, and more. Check out the link below to see several great options.

Promotional Items
For promotional items, we always recommend starting with our online catalog, which makes it easy to click and filter for USA-made options of any item you’re searching for. This is not everything, though; certainly, reach out if you have a specific product in mind.

We are pleased to report that, despite the sudden economic shift brought about by the tariffs, our suppliers have been helpful and resourceful. Also, while we’re happy there are USA-made products currently, I fully anticipate the offering to continually expand.
