How Half Price Banners Is Absorbing Tariff Costs for You

In today’s market, prices are increasing rapidly. From groceries and gas to building supplies and office essentials, everything seems to cost a little more each time we purchase. With new tariffs rolling out in the U.S., it’s fair to wonder if custom banner printing companies such as Half Price Banners will raise prices, too.

We want to be clear: we’re choosing not to pass increased costs on to you.

That means you can still expect affordable pricing, quality materials, and fast turnaround times, even as changes happen around us. Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on and what it means for you as a customer.

What’s Going On With Tariffs in 2025

We’ll keep it simple:

Tariffs are government-imposed taxes on imported goods. They’ve recently increased in the U.S. and many companies are now paying more to bring in the same materials they used last year.

A snapshot of the current tariff landscape:

• A baseline tariff now applies to most imports.
• Products from certain countries, like China, face even higher rates.
• Low-value exemptions have been removed, making even small imported parts more expensive.
• Many raw materials including vinyl, aluminum, and fabrics, are impacted.

For most companies in manufacturing and printing, this means one thing: higher costs.

How Tariffs Typically Affect Businesses

When tariffs raise the cost of raw materials and products, most companies face a tough decision:

• Raise prices for customers to protect profit margins
• Or absorb the extra expenses, which cuts into profits

Some businesses also make other changes, like switching to lower-quality materials, delaying shipping, or offering fewer customer service options. For many small businesses and consumers, this has already translated into more expensive signage, packaging, apparel, and promotional materials.
