We are entering the busiest time of the year and we have seen an uptick in order rate which has caused lead times to push out by 1-2 weeks depending on the product type. I strongly suggest you review your inventory position and place orders (especially pre-stretched products) sooner rather than later. Expect film producers to implement order allocation on pre-stretched in the coming days / weeks end. Current lead time is 1 week for stock cast and blown film and 3 weeks for custom. Lead time for pre-stretched products is now 4 weeks for standards and 5 weeks for custom. The time is now to get your inventory levels built up and plan for higher pricing and an extra week or two on lead times.

We all know that 3rd & 4th quarters are extremely high demand months for this product. I would strongly recommend getting your customers to order this product ASAP because know one wants to deal with 8-10 week lead times, so why not take care of your customers early

Pre-stretched products are in high demand in the fall and lead times will go out regardless of our new capacity. Combine this with a price increase and order rates go through the roof and lead times come under assault.
