These days, an increasing number of businesses are feeling the impact of rising tariffs and supply chain delays. Costs are up, timelines are unpredictable, and margins are tighter than ever. If your company relies on packaging or labels, this can be a serious challenge. But here is the good news: working with a Canadian partner like Lorpon Labels could give you a serious edge.
In this blog, we will break down how sourcing your labels from Canada can help you dodge tariffs, boost your brand, and get your product to market faster. We will also explain how Lorpon’s full-service label solutions are helping businesses not only survive but also thrive.
Tariffs are driving up packaging costs
Trade tensions and import duties have led to a spike in costs for everything from materials to finished packaging. And unfortunately, labels are right in the middle of that storm.
For example, packaging imported from China now faces tariffs of over 100 percent on certain materials, such as plastics and paperboard — and that kind of markup makes a real dent in your bottom line. Other regions, like Southeast Asia or the EU, are not far behind, with added import fees and shipping delays stacking up across the board.
It is not just the tariffs themselves. It is the ripple effect. Delays, material shortages, and price volatility are making it tough to plan ahead. If you have ever waited on a shipment or had to explain a price hike to your customers, you know the pain.
Why working with a Canadian supplier just makes sense
Here is where things turn around. The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) means products made in Canada can cross the border without any tariffs.
Instead of sourcing your labels from overseas and paying a premium, you can partner with a Canadian manufacturer and obtain the same (or better) product without the added cost or bureaucracy.
Add to that shorter lead times, faster cross-border delivery, and real people you can talk to, and it is clear why more businesses are looking north for their label solutions.
Add Canadian value: Shop the world, label in Canada
In today’s unpredictable trade landscape, choosing a Canadian label partner offers more than just proximity — it gives you a global edge.
Canada’s network of free trade agreements with over 60 countries means labels produced here move more freely and affordably across borders. That “Made in Canada” mark signals quality, reliability, and access to international markets, without the complications that come with offshore sourcing.
Ordering your labels from a Canadian supplier, such as Lorpon, is a strategic and innovative move. It gives you consistent quality, faster delivery, and protection from tariffs, while helping your brand stay competitive on a global scale.
