Print processing dismal

In March, the Printing process for producing these brilliant colors also ushered in the hottest season of the year. It was in early spring when temperatures returned, people were about to take off their thick winter clothes and replace them with bright spring clothes. However, in the Chinese textile market, many business operators complained that printing processing companies are now too “cattle”, urging them to press and waiting, etc....

Print processing, at least one month in line

“The delivery date is approaching, but it has not yet been processed. It is really an emergency...” At the Frankfurt Fabric Show in Paris, France, in late February, Mr. Lu, who is engaged in the textile foreign trade business in Keqiao, took a cotton fabric printing order. . On March 1, he immediately went to a printing and dyeing factory in Binhai. "Originally five or six days can be shipped, but more than 10 days have not even been discharged." Mr. Lu said that the company salesman to the Binhai Dyeing Factory urged two or three times, was informed that the end of the fastest shipments.

Mr. Lu's troubles were confirmed by the reporter at the printing and dyeing factory. Yesterday morning, on the Xingbin Road in the Binhai Industrial Zone, a printing and dyeing plant factory area, parking spaces, etc. were piled with gray cloth. "These are all waiting for the printing process." The person in charge said that since the beginning of March, printing processing has generally entered the busy season, and many printing processes have been queued up to April. According to reports, the company has two printing workshops, with a daily printing capacity of 250,000 meters. At present, the printing shop is producing at full capacity, but the white fabrics waiting for queuing are still full of factory areas.

Although it is high season, companies are not happy

On the one hand, customers are waiting for processing. On the other hand, they are full-load production. This phenomenon is in short supply, which is what every company dreams of. However, there are no smiles on the faces of the print processing companies in Keqiao District. This year, besides the unavoidable pressure of dyeing factories, such as environmental protection, the price of dyes and chemical materials has doubled and the labor costs have risen. This has made the dyeing factories overwhelmed.

"There are orders but no profit," said Li Chuanhai, chairman of the Keqiao District Printing and Dyeing Association. After a slight adjustment in printing processing fees in the first half of last year, it has been in its current position, and dyes, wages, and other price increases have brought mediocre profits. All are exhausted. In an interview, the reporter learned that, depending on the current cost pressures and supply and demand conditions, some dyeing factories will adjust the printing processing prices in due course.

No profit, printing processing needs to be improved

In the peak production season of the year, processing companies have lamented no profits. This is a strange reflection. According to the industry analysts, with the rise of Digital Printing, many printing and dyeing companies in Keqiao District tilted from dyeing to printing, and the printing production capacity surged, forming a bad business environment with low price competition, and when the price of dyes, labor, etc. If you fluctuate, you feel that the pressure is doubled or even unbearable. For this reason, it is necessary for printing processing to take the path of development.

Before and after the Spring Festival, Red Green Blue Printing & Dyeing Co., Ltd. located in the Binhai Industrial Zone purchased four advanced digital printing machines from Japan. As a leading digital printing company in Keqiao District, “Red Green Blue” hit a new high of nearly US$100 million last year. All along, "Red Green Blue" focuses on original design. However, in recent years, technological investment in the treatment of sewage and exhaust gas has become a major concern for enterprises. "Printing and dyeing enterprises must face environmental protection and governance as they are to develop." The company's official said that at the beginning of the new year, the company has put energy-saving and emission-reduction equipment in the first place, and has already invested more than RMB 12 million to purchase sewage. Small, energy-saving province of Japan imported digital printing machines.
