PSST Pack Separately Ship Together

SanMar’s Pack Separately. Ship

Together (PSST) program is a

collaboration between contract

decorators and SanMar to offer high

levels of service to Promotional

Product Distributors (PPDs). Each

day, SanMar consolidates multiple

orders heading to the same address,

eliminating the need for the PPDs to

bundle orders and making it easier for

contract decorator to know what’s

coming and when. While there is an

investment required from contract

decorators, the program is totally free

to PPDs and offers significant savings

and opportunities to both.

Program Benefits for Promotional Product Distributors

• Free delivery on all orders (excludes mill drop, custom and

specialty retail orders)

• Eliminated restock fees

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN AFRICA

A Message from Jeremy Lott

We're proud of SanMar's global sourcing efforts that allow us to

positively impact the lives of the thousands of people making our

products. From revitalizing communities and paying a fair wage to

creating jobs for people previously unable to work outside the home, it's

one way we all truly make a difference.

I'm particularly proud of our efforts in East Africa. Last year, we

celebrated five years of sourcing from Tanzania. It's been an amazing

experience helping to open doors for people in the region previously

unable to work outside the home. Specifically, 80% of the employees at

the sewing facility are women who, through these jobs, are able to

create a better life for themselves, their families and their community.

We were early pioneers working with manufacturers in East Africa and

plan to expand into other countries there.

In support of these efforts, I recently had phone calls with our elected

officials to extend the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

AGOA is a trade preference program that provides duty-free imports of

certain products, including apparel, from Africa. The goal is to support

the continent's growth in apparel sourcing and make it a competitive

force in the marketplace. AGOA passed the deeply divided Senate with

an almost unanimous 99-1 vote.

It is predicted that East Africa will grow into a major garment-sourcing

hub. A recent McKinsey & Company report estimates that by 2035 there

will be more than 900 million working-age people in the region, making

this population as large as China's is today.

It's amazing how far East Africa has progressed in the past two decades.

So long as we can reliability source high-quality goods, keep costs

manageable and support working wage jobs we'll continue seeking

opportunities in the region.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN

TANZANIA

A MESSAGE FROM MARTY LOTT

We're part of a global economy, committed to making a positive impact

wherever we source, manufacture, ship or sell our products. We take

pride in our efforts to improve workers' lives at the factories that

manufacture our products around the world. Recently, I traveled to a

factory in Tanzania to celebrate the five-year anniversary of sourcing

SanMar products in the region.

“IT'S AMAZING TO HEAR ABOUT THE CHANGES IN THIS COMMUNITY

BECAUSE OF THIS FACTORY!”

When SanMar began sourcing some of our products in Africa, it opened

a lot of doors previously closed to women, especially when many of the

men initially hired by the factory decided they didn't want to sew. So

local women picked up scissors, learned how to work sewing machines

and now make up over 80% of the factory's workers. In a country where

women seldom work outside of the home, that's a huge source of pride

and accomplishment.

The jobs provided by this manufacturing facility create a ripple effect

throughout the entire community. With steady paid work, employees

invest in their neighborhoods by shopping at local merchants, eating the

occasional meal out and even purchasing a home for their families. It's

amazing to hear about the changes in this community because of this

factory!

Efforts such as this, as well as the positive work we do in South America

and Asia, led to our Fair Labor Association accreditation and it's not

something we take lightly. We pride ourselves on the commitments we

make to sourcing and manufacturing in a responsible and ethical way

throughout our global supply chain.
