People across the country are about to usher in an eight-day long holiday, but for textile workers who work all year round, it seems to have nothing to do with the holiday. However, this year they had a few days of vacation, and they were excited but also nervous.
Printing and dyeing factories welcome a 1-4 day long holiday
The leading printing and dyeing enterprises in Wujiang issued a National Day holiday notice: All branches will have a 4-day holiday during the National Day. For printing and dyeing companies, 4 days is actually a long holiday. Last year, the leading printing and dyeing company only took 3 days off.
According to surveys, most other printing and dyeing companies will also have a 2-3 day holiday. Due to the average recent order volume, although it began to improve in late September, printing and dyeing factories are generally not busy, and the delivery time is only about 5 days, so most factories can enjoy a few days of relaxed holidays.
Trader Mr. Jiang said: “I received an order of more than 7,000 meters two days ago. Three days after the gray fabric entered the dyeing factory, I received a call. I thought I was being asked to confirm the color of the duplicate sample. Who knew it was me? To finalize. I was really shocked, this shipping speed has never been encountered before.”
The overall market orders are not as expected, but there are signs of improvement, and some orders are hot. For example, gray fabrics such as T400 and Cool Silk Cotton, which have become hot-selling products recently, have also increased the amount of warehousing of printing and dyeing factories. Some manufacturers have concentrated orders, and the delivery period has been slightly extended by 2-3 days due to busy shipments.
A salesperson from a printing and dyeing factory said: “We only have one day off during the National Day. Recently, the work has begun to increase again, and the incoming warehouse volume has improved. It can maintain about 400,000 per day. Mainly because there are more market orders. , just one major customer’s factory arranged 40 cylinders of T400 every day, so the entire factory became busy, and the shipments of other customers’ orders were also affected.”
Coating, calendering, lamination and other post-finishing operations Most factories also have a 1-2 day holiday. Although it is not long, compared with previous years, the holiday is very luxurious for finishing factories. This type of factory can have a 1-2 day holiday mainly because there are not many executable orders on hand, so the holiday will not have a big impact on shipments.
The owner of a local composite factory said: “This year’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, we must have a holiday. There is not much work at the moment. Our factory has tentatively scheduled a two-day holiday. Most of my customers also have a three-day holiday.” days, so we don’t dare to leave more and serve them at any time.”
But another calendering factory does not have a day off. On the one hand, it has more orders on hand and is usually busy; on the other hand, , the boss is worried that the holiday will have a crowded impact on post-holiday production. Therefore, considering two aspects, the calendering factory decided not to take a holiday and maintain normal production.
Factory holidays have little impact on order delivery times
The current market conditions can be reflected from the National Day holidays of processing plants. Most factories are There are 1-4 days of vacation. So will the processing factory’s holiday affect the shipment of traders’ orders? From the traders’ answers, the answer is obviously no. This year, traders’ regular order delivery time is only about 15 days, and some even ship in one week. This is much faster than in previous years, and there are rarely cases of buyers rushing the goods. According to the person in charge of the printing and dyeing factory, the holiday will not have much impact on the delivery date, and production will resume soon after the holiday.
Traders also said that the holiday of the dyeing factory will not affect the delivery time. The delivery time is very generous, and the goods can be shipped smoothly even if it is 3-4 days late. In addition, they will also have a 3-day holiday. , so there will be basically no impact.
Affected by the epidemic this year, a large number of orders have been missing. Factories such as printing and dyeing, coating, and calendering also have single or rotating holidays. The situation is mainly due to the slowdown in production pace caused by the sluggish market conditions. However, during the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” holidays, factories can still have relaxed holidays, which makes textile workers feel very uneasy. Looking back on last year, even though 2019 was a sluggish year, the delivery time of printing and dyeing factories during the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” period was able to reach more than 10 days, and it was still relatively busy. At present, the delivery time of printing and dyeing factories is only 5 days, and the “unsaturation” phenomenon is serious. By comparison, textile professionals are worried about the entire order-taking situation in the second half of the year.
Editor’s Note
Textile people are still very uneasy. They are still confused about whether the market will be prosperous after the holiday. The large-scale holiday in the market has also given the textile industry It causes a certain amount of panic among people. However, some printing and dyeing factories performed well, which shows that the market is not that weak. The effect of the peak season is gradually deepening, and the “Silver Ten” can still be expected. </p
