raffia, buri, vine stems,
capiz, pine cones, and other indigenous
materials, hand-made papers, metals
etc
b.) Imported
Fabrics, ribbons,
glitters, paints and other finishing materials

B.
Labor
Since most of the firms started as
cottage industries, production operations are
nearly one hundred percent (100%) manually
without any small time-saving tools and
equipment that would optimize the use of
valuable labor and craftsmanship. For training
of workers, the industry still depends on the
handing down of skills from one generation to
the next and on-the-job-training.
C.
Packaging Materials
The industry uses polyethylene bags,
plastic bubble bags and carton boxes for
packaging. Corrugated boxes with Styrofoam pads
are usually used for breakable and fragile
decors.
