Dick says projects that are not time-sensitive, such as some books, calendars and greeting cards, work best for manufacturing overseas, along with “anything with any kind of handiwork”—including complex boxes, die-cuts or paper engineering products.
If properly planned, he says, projects are shipped back by sea freight, which takes two weeks (not counting domestic delivery). Air freight is available, he notes, but expensive ($3 per pound); however, even that option can be cheaper in some cases if it’s a limited run and the publisher is short on time.
