No, not really. But the margins aren't great, and you've got to allocate the manufacturing capacity to make the paper, which takes time.

It's not hard but it's much cheaper to do it abroad, even after factoring in shipping.

Last or year-before-last's container shortage + Evergrande shook that one up though.
