Do you have design staff in your team? I think the problem now is that no one is really buying clothes. You can sell services to at least keep minimal cash-flow coming in.
Another thought as a Dad, is to pivot to baby and children's clothing. They keep growing virus or not. I've had to buy a size up twice now for my daughter since COVID started.
Hi
I'm sorry that you're having difficult times. Many people are.
Try do something original and change direction for now. For example, why not make t-shirts with funny Corona related prints on them, and sell them to private people online. Like: "Day 14 of Corona..." and then a picture of someone doing something funny at home...there's a lot of funny memes/images/jokes going around, and putting these on a t-shirt so people can buy them for themselves and others should be great. You could partner with existing online shops that sell other things, because these shops would place larger orders.
I know it's not easy, but try think of different solutions and not just the regular type of business you where in. This could be an opportunity, not only a difficulty.

Could you do medicine masks on you manufactory?
I would continue producing by building buffers of simple layouts which you will find readily available when the order comes. That will eventually save you time and get the customer's order ready in no time. If you want to discuss further let me know so i will explain more in detail.

The COVID-19 pandemic is already ushering in a host of challenges to US industrial manufacturers, especially those that depend on workers whose jobs cannot be carried out remotely. About 80% of manufacturers expect that the pandemic will have a financial impact on their business, according to a recent survey of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). That is significantly higher than the 48% of cross-industry companies that are concerned about the same impact, which is based on CFO responses to a recent PwC survey. The majority of those in the manufacturing sector (53%) expect COVID-19 to impact their operations, the NAM survey reported. Indeed, we are already seeing these grim expectations become a reality in the sector, amid plummeting oil prices and demand, supply chain bottlenecks, spending slowdowns and jitters over the credit markets.
A question like yours was raised in “Dear HBR”. I hope it will help you a lot in understanding what you should do, how you should cope with the situation and help your manufacturing units: https://hbr.org/podcast/2020/10/safe-workplaces

How important is it to have your mobile app's design/branding right --- right from the get-go?
If you're talking about an app-store launch, then it's important to have the core mechanics of the product (from a user interaction perspective) figured out such that the majority of your users are doing the things you want them to do in order to drive continual engagement with the app. Design polish can come later and often slows down whomever is implementing the development of the app. I don't think anything should ever be "ugly" but lacking polish is often the right way to go to get speed to market. That said, to be sure of the core interactions, you want to do as much testing and observing real users use your app prior to launch. Happy to talk through any of this in a call with you.TW

How do you get a product prototype developed in China sitting in the US?
It varies and it's very very specific to what you want to develop. The concrete design of your circuit matters. Also prototype building costs are usually a factor 10-100 higher than series. If you already have your prototype then you can shop around various manufacturing companies. To do that, you need Gerber files (your PCB design) and a bill of materials. You also need to think about casing: designing it and creating the mold is expensive. If you don't have your prototype yet, I recommend having it engineered in eastern Europe. Custom engineering is cheap there and high quality. IP protection is a problem. One thing to do is to distribute the work to different manufacturers. For the design phase you are safer if you design your prototype in Europe or the US where international patent laws apply. I could give you more specific advise in a phone call, getting to know a bit better what you are trying to build.GF

How can I get my prototypes created inexpensively for a line of decorative metal products?
Does it need to be in metal for a prototype? If not, do a 3d printed model and, if needed, wrap it in metal sheet/foil. There is no cheap way to do a production quality prototype.AM

What is the best way or any resources besides obvious ones (alibaba) to find textile (fabric) manufacturing here in the US or abroad?
http://makersrow.com - this is probably your best bet. I wouldn't use a website though. I'd talk to entrepreneurs and creators of high tech textiles in the USA. Look specifically at http://titintech.com and Klymit jacket. Reach out to those founders and learn as much as possible. Both of them are really nice guys and might be better equipped to share horror stories as well. Also be sure to look at http://reddit.com/r/textilesKT

How should I go about sourcing for a packaging company or finding a company with competitive prices?
Shipping components are expensive and unless you have the volume to buy in quantity vs small bundles is when you'll be able to shop around for a better deal. For example, Uline offers packaging in bundles of 8 or 25 as their minimum, this is stock item for which they order several thousands units of to keep the cost down. For you it fits because you can buy in small amounts at a time. However, if you have a need for 1000 at least or more units then buying from Uline is really expensive compared to what you could buy them for. Uline is a major distributor with a 45-50% markup on their items (give or take) as they have large warehousing and infrastructures. If you are ready to move to the next level, first find the correct material name for each packaging component, and look for suppliers of that particular item. Search websites likehttp://www.thomasnet.com/ for suppliers. Or go through a packaging broker instead of a distributor, like Landsberg Orora, or Ernest Packaging, and they can do all the leg work for you and still save money. Additionally, I know your drawing is not to scale, but there seems to be excess empty air space, if that is true then you can customize your packaging per exactly your needs, which will help to further bring the cost down. An engineer should take a look at your current situation because there is more at play than just shipping components - method of shipping, weight, weather condition, materials thickness etc all play a roll and can all contribute to cost saving while making the whole thing function better. This question is common enough that I've written tutorials on it http://howtobuypackaging.com/how-to-buy-packaging-part-1-determining-your-packaging-needs/.SG
