The Feed the Birds Flag Conundrum: Our Search for an American-Made Garden Flag Manufacturer

Here at Arundale Products, we’re very dedicated to making our product line American Made.  We try to, but man, is it difficult.  As a small family owned business we make a genuine effort to ensure that as many products as possible are made in the U.S.   Unfortunately, the business ways of the world come with many irksome obstacles.

One of our largest and most pressing obstructions is finding a U.S. manufacturer for our Feed the Birds Garden Flag.  Our customers love the image and they LOVE the Garden Flag, so much so, we sold out of the flags some time ago.  We’re not inclined to admit the sheer number of back orders we have for this product or the demand we’ve received for other Squirrel Stuff images to be printed on garden flags.  The stores are very eager to get this item back on the shelves and we would very much like to get these flag mass produced and start selling them again.

The problem is, we don’t want to give in and send the manufacturing out of the country.

We want to pay a U.S. company with U.S. citizens employees to produce our products.

So we’re putting out the word.

Does anyone know a good garden flag manufacturer in the United States?

We’ve had several almost options, but so far no one has come forth that can make the Feed the Birds Garden Flag and meet the correct specifications we need to have it look like the quality product that it is and enable us to have this be a United States made product.

Here are the exact specifications:

 12″ x 18″

 Machine Washable

 Durable for Outside Use

 High Quality Print Image

 The image MUST be viewable from both sides at the same degree of saturation.

Front Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

What does that mean? – In the past the flag is two sided, on the front the Feed the Bird image can be seen and the text is reversed.

Back Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

On the back side the Feed the Birds image can be seen, with the same level of color intensity (not faded) only the reverse image is visible and the text is reversed.  It almost appears that the ink has bleed through to the back and retains the exact same degree of clarity as the front.

 

If you are a manufacturer that can product the type of product at these specification (or you know someone that can) Please (or have them) contact Marc at the office.

We would be very interested in seeing if we can do business.
