“The dreams and creations of an artist do not have to be grand and ambitious to evoke inspiration, they could just be for yourself, for your own therapeutic reasons or for bringing some special thing to a friend.” Samuel Adoquei, Origins of Inspiration
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them. David Hockney

Factories are the actual manufacturers who own the production facility. Unlike online-only companies, ARTJUN works directly with and within our factories.
Manufacturing factories range in size, quality, production capacity, and product ranges. The industry changes rapidly, and continually breaks stereotypes. Over the last couple of decades, countries in the APEC region improved their labor practices significantly, and many are actively implementing their country’s new regulations on pollution.
Despite the translation issue, factories are experts in production. If they are experienced in manufacturing your product, they will understand your technical requirements. However, they are not marketers and may not fully comprehend the needs of the Western market. You’ll have to be very clear with your factories on your expectations.
ARTJUN differ from trading companies by maintaining independence, and ARTJUN don’t earn commissions from sales on behalf of factories. Consequently, ARTJUN interest is vested in best representing our client’s business, rather than in protecting manufacturers.

Over the years, I’ve tried hundreds of companies during my travels. Some have been great, some have been awful. If you want the best companies to use when planning your trips, use my list of vetted and reliable favorites. I use all these companies when I am booking and planning my own trips so you know they’re good!
Once your products are ready to leave the manufacturing source, ARTJUN make sure they get to you safely. ARTJUN has over Rich of experience navigating tariffs, watching vessel schedules, and managing containers. After your products clear customs, our team continues our efforts through delivery at your doorstep.
Just one container load that can’t be sold in the Western market could result in losses capable of wiping out months of profits. A shipment of goods that fails a compliance law and can’t pass customs pulls people dollars in a hole — and that’s before the cost to ship and destroy the goods.
It is highly important to know what you’re doing, and to create contingencies for the eventual problems. The process is becoming easier as globalization and technology advance, though it’s still simplest —and in most cases, cheapest — to hire a Purchasing Agents to manage it for you. Delegating to the experienced professionals gives you peace of mind, and allows you to focus on product research, marketing, and scaling your company.
