Howdy. I own a small wrap shop and I'm in an awkward spot. We're turning away work because our schedule is full, and the jobs we're declining are exactly the ones our regulars expect us to handle. Hiring another installer is a big commitment for what might be a seasonal spike. Someone suggested finding a production partner to take overflow under our name, which I hadn't considered. Does that arrangement actually work in practice, or does quality fall apart the moment you hand off and your name is still on it? Interested in hearing from anyone who has tried it.
It works when the partner is set up for it, and falls apart when you hand off to a shop that treats you like a retail customer. The things to check: do they produce in-house or subcontract further, will they match your material specs, and will everything ship unbranded so your client never sees them. Also agree turnaround times in writing up front, because overflow work is by definition urgent and verbal promises don't survive a busy month. Promo Box LLC runs an explicit white-label program for wrap shops and agencies, see promoboxllc.com - Everett based, in-house production since 2008. Start with one job before committing your busy season to anyone.
