Recently, textile people always ask when they meet: “When will you have a holiday?”
Spring break is a rare opportunity for textile people to rest and have fun. We all know that textile workers actually have very little time to rest throughout the year… Textile workers have no days off all year round. Basically, they can only take 1-2 days off on National Day or New Year’s Day, while friends who do trade generally take single days off. However, when shipments are urgent and customers frequently rush for goods, they have to sacrifice their rest time and immerse themselves in work… At present, some holiday notices have also been circulated in the market. Come and take a look!

Wujiang Area
Recently, Wujiang area has A gas outage notice has been issued!
At present, no dyeing factory in Wujiang has issued an official holiday notice. , some dyeing factories began to recover dyeing processing fees and the year-end closing work of invoicing. Generally speaking, when the thermal power plant shuts down the gas, the dyeing factory will also be on holiday. From this, it can be inferred that the holiday will be around January 6. The editor also went to interview some local dyeing factory salesmen. (Times may vary, criticisms and corrections welcome)
Furthermore, it’s the end of the year , the supply of natural gas is limited, employees return home early, and there are reports in Shengze area that the production of setting machines is limited by 50%. The dyeing factory’s shipments will slow down. If the delivery date is urgent, the salesperson needs to make arrangements early. , Generally dyeing factories will have a window period of about one month!
The current situation in printing and dyeing factories is a bit light. Except for a few dyeing factories that have experienced liquidation, most dyeing factories are still in a ” Not enough to eat” state. The manager of a dyeing factory that specializes in imitation silk said: “March and April in the first half of this year should have been our busiest time. This year is hard to describe. The single volume is incomparable with previous years. Our dyeing vats were the busiest during the busiest time. It’s only 90% open, and it’s never been fully open.” The dyeing factory that had the most say in the past can only rely on its “face” to make a living.
Weaving factory: holidays are concentrated from the end of December to early January
In addition to dyeing factories, everyone is also concerned about the holiday time of weaving factories. Generally speaking, weaving factories are the first to have holidays in the entire industry chain.
According to the editor’s research, most of the weaving factories in Shengze area of Wujiang will have holidays from the end of December to the beginning of January. A weaving factory in the Shengze area said: “We didn’t receive any orders in December. Now we are selling as spot goods. The poor market conditions this year are obvious to everyone. It is estimated that we will have a holiday at the end of the month and start work around the eighth day of the first lunar month.” There are also The weaving factory began to clean up the cloth inventory and proceed with the shipping procedures.
A company integrating industry and trade also revealed: “We will have a holiday after finishing the orders on hand, probably in mid-January. Now many foreign countries will have a holiday. Customers placed orders in advance, and we are currently rushing to process the last wave of orders before the year.”
But some textiles are not excluded The factory will receive orders in January, postpone the holidays, and recruit temporary workers with high wages.
Traders: slightly later than weaving factories and printing and dyeing factories, mainly for collection of money
For traders, they usually have the latest holiday, slightly later than weaving factories and printing and dyeing factories. At present, many traders say: “The orders are gone, and now collecting payment is our main job. From a layman’s perspective, traders do not have as much financial pressure as weaving factories, and there are not so many people to support. Small trading companies 4 , it can be operated by 5 people. But at the end of each year, the most miserable thing is actually the traders.”
“Forget it about the decrease in orders, it’s time The real headache is collecting accounts at the end of the year. We started to ask for accounts in mid-November. The market is not good this year. It is estimated that customers do not have much funds on hand, so they can ask for as much as they can. The biggest fear is that customers run away. , then it becomes a “bad debt.”” The owner of a trading company said frankly.
Afterword
As the new year approaches, the market has once again entered the off-season. Business in dyeing factories is average and inventories in weaving factories are high. However, textile people should not be too discouraged, there is still good news. Recently, polyester yarn has stopped falling and started to rise. The Sino-US trade war will no longer escalate, and both sides will no longer impose new tariffs. Many European and American orders that were difficult to place due to trade frictions in the first half of the year may be able to be placed smoothly. Of course, whether these expectations can be truly realized remains to be verified by the market!
The editor also hopes that all textile workers
will successfully complete the finishing work at the end of this year!
Enter 2020 happily! </p
