I need help building a reliable coast-to-coast production and fulfillment network for my custom-merchandise business. Your focus will be identifying and vetting contract decorators—screen printers, embroiderers, laser engravers, UV printers—as well as third-party fulfillment centers that can warehouse, pick/pack, and ship orders on demand. Coverage priorities 8 Quadrants of the US (Suggested Hubs are below but we can have selections anywhere in the coverage area) • Pacific Northwest • Hub: Seattle, WA or Portland, OR • Covers: WA, OR, ID, Western MT • California • Mountain West • Hub: Salt Lake City, UT or Denver, CO • Covers: UT, CO, WY, NM, parts of ID/MT • Texas/South Central • Hub: Dallas–Fort Worth, TX • Covers: TX, OK, AR, LA • Midwest • Hub: Chicago, IL • Covers: IL, WI, MN, IA, MO, IN, MI • Southeast Southeast • Hub: Atlanta, GA • Covers: GA, AL, TN, NC, SC • Northeast • Hub: Central NJ / Eastern PA (e.g., Allentown) • Covers: NY, NJ, PA, New England, DC region • Florida The ideal outcome is to locate 2 - 3 contract decorators in each area as well as 2 - 3 fulfillment centers. For the decorators I will need full service solutions that could include: Screen Printing, Embroidery, DTG, Digital Apparel Transfers, Patches, Finishings such as Woven Labels and hem tags, Hang Tags, Fold & Polybag, Private Labeling. Would also like smaller providers that have reasonable pricing for small quantity runs.

Experience in promotional products sourcing, supplier audits, or 3PL selection is a must—tell me about similar work you’ve done so I can judge fit quickly.

Hello, I can support you in building a reliable, regionally distributed network of contract decorators and fulfillment partners that integrates seamlessly into your order flow. My approach is structured and detail-focused. I identify vendors by region and capability, verify key information such as equipment, lead times, minimum order quantities, and pricing, and organise everything into a clean, decision-ready database. Where necessary, I conduct direct outreach to ensure accuracy and completeness. You will receive a well-organised spreadsheet with verified vendors, clear regional coverage, and consistent data fields, along with a concise summary of top recommendations and any potential red flags. I also provide outreach records so you can continue conversations without disruption. I have experience handling data-intensive research and workflow structuring where accuracy and clarity are essential, and I apply the same discipline to ensure the final output is practical and immediately usable. I’m available to start and can begin with one region as a pilot. Best regards, Rasheed
