In the past few days, some medium and large printing and dyeing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have issued their Spring Festival holiday schedule for this year. As can be seen from the table below, all printing and dyeing factory holidays are concentrated in early January. Cloth bosses, pay attention, you only have less than one month left to produce! You can notify all customers to place orders in advance!
According to the annual tradition, the thermal power plant first issues a notice to shut down the entire network, and then the printing and dyeing enterprises will announce the Spring Festival holiday time based on the time of the shutdown. But this year, the thermal power plant has not yet issued any steam shutdown notice, and the printing and dyeing factory has already issued a notice early. According to the editor’s comparison, this year’s printing and dyeing factory issued a holiday notice one month earlier than last year!
Printing and dyeing operation rate rebounds
Recently, the textile market, which was already coming to an end, has been rekindled. New orders have increased, and manufacturers’ shipments have improved. Especially the gall cloth has been sold out. With the increase in orders, the operating rates of weaving manufacturers and printing and dyeing factories have increased accordingly. According to the sample companies monitored by Silkdu.com, the current operating rate of weaving in Shengze is 59.1%, an increase of 0.5% from last week; the operating rate of printing and dyeing factories is 55.2%, an increase of 0.9% from last week. Although the increase is not large, the original trend was a straight decline, and now it is starting to rise again.
A salesperson from a dyeing factory said: “It has been a little busy recently, and the factory load has increased to about 80%, compared with less than 70% before. Now the delivery time has also begun to be extended. It used to be 3-4 days after entering the warehouse. It will be done, it will take a week now.”
It is said that the market has improved significantly, but in fact there is still a phenomenon of differentiation. On one side are factories that are very busy rushing to ship goods, and on the other side are factories that have already gone on holiday or are waiting for holidays. It is precisely because of this differentiation that printing and dyeing factories still have an early holiday this year. The current recovery in orders is mainly due to the impact of the domestic “Double 12” e-commerce season and the cold wave, as well as the foreign “Christmas season”, which has boosted the market. However, as these two shopping seasons end, the demand for clothing will also weaken, and the number of orders in the later period is still worrying.
Orders may gradually decrease
We will find that some garment and finished product companies, such as shoe factories and clothing factories, take holidays in advance every year. The reason why they took the holiday so long in advance was because there were no more orders in the factory. Unlike gray cloth or fabric companies, this type of finished product companies can produce inventory and sell it later. There are too many styles of shoes and clothing, and different styles are released every season every year. The styles of the previous season are quickly eliminated. Therefore, if shoe and clothing companies do not have orders on hand, they can only take a holiday. The decrease in orders will eventually be transmitted upstream, which will become more obvious as time goes by. Printing and dyeing factories will also enter the finishing stage again, and this year’s Spring Festival itself is earlier than in previous years, so it is reasonable to have a holiday in early January.
After finishing the business, most manufacturers said that the holiday would follow the footsteps of dyeing factories. Most of the orders for finishing companies come from dyeing factories. If the dyeing factories stop, they will naturally lose their orders. Therefore, when the dyeing factories are on holiday, they will also be on holiday. However, some companies with large orders will continue to produce until they stop steaming.
At present, some dyeing factories are in a rush for goods and must try their best to complete customer orders before the end of the year. The work focus of cloth bosses has also shifted from taking orders to collecting payments, preparing for the finishing work of the whole year. Finally, one more thing, place your order as early as possible!
