Tariffs Got You in a Bind? Stick with American-Made Paper Bags!

Road sign that reads tariffs just ahead.

In today’s global economy, tariffs on imported goods can have a big impact on businesses of all sizes. Recent increases in tariffs on foreign-made paper products are making it more expensive for companies to source their packaging from overseas. If you’re in the market for paper bags or mailers, now is the perfect time to reconsider your supply chain and turn to a trusted American manufacturer – Gilchrist Bag Manufacturing, LLC (GBM).

At GBM, we proudly manufacture high-quality, eco-friendly paper bags and mailers right here in Camden, Arkansas. When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a great product – you’re also avoiding the added costs and uncertainty that come with tariffs on imported paper products. Let’s break down why choosing domestic manufacturing is the smarter, more sustainable choice.


Tariffs & Imported Paper Bags: A Costly Combo

The U.S. government has recently imposed or increased tariffs on a range of imported goods, including paper-based packaging materials from certain countries. These tariffs can lead to:

✔️ Higher Prices – Companies importing paper bags from overseas are now facing additional costs, which are often passed down to the customer.
✔️ Supply Chain Delays – With shipping costs rising and customs regulations tightening, businesses relying on imports are experiencing longer lead times.
✔️ Uncertainty – Tariff policies can change quickly, leaving companies vulnerable to sudden price spikes or supply chain disruptions.

If your business depends on reliable, cost-effective packaging, these tariffs could create unexpected challenges. But there’s good news: domestic manufacturers like GBM offer a stable, affordable alternative.
