Lead time depends on the order composition — standard stock items move faster than custom lengths or private label production. Confirmed lead time is given with the quotation, and production is scheduled once the order and deposit are in place. Shipping can be arranged on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF or DDP terms.
What affects lead time
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Standard sizes, stock items | Shorter |
| Mixed orders | Depends on the longest-lead line |
| Custom lengths | Additional production time |
| Private label packaging | Additional time for artwork and packing |
| Special finishes | May extend production |
| Order quantity | Larger volumes extend production time |
Lead time is confirmed at quotation stage rather than quoted as a general figure, because a generic number is rarely accurate for a specific order.
