    Sorry, a little confused. I Thought from the below reply it was more about creating jobs rather than a USP?

    "Apols Justin. I would rather employ British nationals........
    Our production/manufacturing end of things has really died away and we need to help those that live here play a part. Not contract everything out as most do. "

    You can have "Printed in England" on it if you wish. "Created in England" is another option. Have had to do this with previous customers in UK.

    Not sure of where the relevance is or what point you are making. Where do your mugs and blanks come from?

    Our single largest customer we supplied last year was in Germany. They now do it themselves by milking as much information from us and visits on an "open book policy", getting our factory accreditation then using it all for themselves. Germans are much the same as everywhere else for many industry sectors. Average wages in UK and Germany aren't that far off either.

    The point is that British manufacturing jobs are lost because you are buying cheap imports. Germany is the second largest exporter after China. The USA have realized that they need to return to manufacturing. Do you think there is more money to be made manufacturing a BMW or just buying one? Buying cheap imports helps nobody but China. Germany has a successful economy because it has an emphasis on manufacturing. So yes, buy British.

    So do you think the German suppliers of sublimation products or even blank tees has all their goods made in Germany? All of the blanks suppliers for sublimation I have either bought from or talked to have offered me shipment direct from source which has always been Far East. I am not in the market of car manufacturing and the thread is sourcing blank garments. Think you are crossing over into a more broad political issue.

    I can also guarantee you I would not employ as many people if we bought our blanks from a UK manufacturer. Didn't really know we had many options in the UK for our industry. Perhaps we should have a separate category for sourcing UK manufactured goods to highlight the options instead of importing our blanks.
